Nexus Equine Inc

Nexus Equine has partnered with Dumb Friends League’s Harmony Equine Center, in Franktown, Colorado. Harmony Equine Center has an expansive adoption program and needs adoptable horses to accommodate their waiting list of potential homes. Nexus provides the horses, Harmony finds the right fit in an adopter, and this provides even more options for Oklahoma horses, keeping them out of an at-risk situation. We've also partnered with there ASPCA Equine training and Adoption Center, Morgan Safe Net, This Old Horse, and Wild at Heart Rescue.

The Care Connection Fund was designed to financially assist Oklahoma horse owners with the provision of veterinary care and other health services that are not financially feasible. This program will allow horses to receive the necessary care and the option for horse owners to keep their horses in their home. Nexus collaborates with equine health professionals in formulating a team approach for the well-being of the horse. **Admission is by veterinary referral only.

This program is a collaboration between Oklahoma State 4-H and Nexus. This is an opportunity to showcase Nexus horses over a 90 Day period allowing horses to receive training and learn new skills by the 4-H youth. At the end of the 90 Days, each team presents the progress they have accomplished during the time period. The winner receives a $1,500 scholarship. Creativity and innovation in programmatic development increases the Nexus impact for horses and people in our communities.  Media coverage: https://kfor.com/2019/08/13/equine-rescue-4-h-members-from-across-oklahoma-team-up-for-project-to-rehab-rehome-horses/

We created “Take Two” to be a resource for higher value horses and their owners who might need an alternative when a horse hasn’t sold but needs to transition to a new owner. Horses are accepted into this program and then leased so that a new person can have a wonderful opportunity that they might not have had otherwise.

This fund was created in 2018 to further support the horses in our care. With this fund, we are able to provide necessary veterinary services above and beyond what we normally do when preparing a horse for adoption. This includes surgeries and extra diagnostic procedures as well as extra medications. As all horse owners know, unexpected expenses occur all the time with horse ownership. We want to be able to do what is needed for our horses so that they are able to be healthy and ready to find their home. This also allows us to take in horses that otherwise might not have a place to go, because we know we can care for them.

It’s a win-win situation in every way. The foster gets to spend time with a horse that needs to get prepared for his/her new home, and the horse gets one on one attention in an actual home setting. Every time a person fosters a Nexus horse, that opens up a space for a horse that needs a safe place to go.

We have never-ending barn chores, horse handling, community outreach programs, fundraising events, and more that our amazing volunteers can look forward to when volunteering at Nexus Equine.

The Community Connection Program is a new vision for Nexus that started not long ago. That vision was made into a reality in April of 2022. The connection that people have with horses is an incredible experience if one has the opportunity to interact. It is important to further our mission by making these phenomenal opportunities available to others. Interactions that otherwise might not be available if not offered by Nexus. This approach raises awareness of how incredible these animals truly are while also providing what might be a life changing experience for people. This inspired Nexus to strengthen and expand this program and make it available to other organizations across Oklahoma.
