Rescue

We believe that Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue is a very unique part of the greater Sioux Falls area. Though there are other horse rescues in the area, Gentle Spirit Horses has a much larger reach and variety to which it caters to the Sioux Falls area. GSH focuses primarily on local horses and helping people who are going through a hard time and need help with their horses. We are working with the Animal Industry Board to become a resource for SD Sheriffs in the case of seizures, and working to increase knowledge and education about proper care of horses in our community

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goals and our mission is the same: to provide assistance to neglected, abused and unwanted horses, and through outreach and education, promote responsible horse ownership.

We use a combination of social media and hands on events to help promote the rescue and it's goals as well as educate the community about horses and our rescue. We have also started an equine internship program to help promote education about the equine industries and rescues in general. We also encourage volunteers to come down and learn about the horses.
