Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Water for Horses
After 200 wildhorses died at a dried up water hole in Gray Mountain in 2018, we created our Water for Horses program. We provide the funding for water delivery 2 to 3 times per week at Gray Mountain on Navajo Nation.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our ultimate goal is make ourselves an unnecessary charity.
In the meantime, we rescue as many horses as possible, re-train/rehabilitate them and find them forever homes.
We also provide a peaceful and safe retirement facility for equines who have worked their entire lives, either in a profession or for the US Forest Service or US Calvary.
We use Parelli Natural Horsemanship to re-train/rehabilitate the equines we rescue as well as train new adopters so they may live their dream with their rescued equine. We also assist current owners who are experiencing issues with developing their relationship with their horse. This keeps more horses in their homes and makes rescued horses more adoptable.
We provide education and spay/neuter clinics for the residents in Supai. We assist with farrier and Veterinary services for equines living and working in Supai Village.
We deliver water 2 to 3 x per week for the wildhorses at Gray Mountain on Navajo Nation. We work with Navajo community members to provide education and support for their boots on the ground efforts to save the wildhorse n their lands.
We assist with unwanted cats and provide a safe place for domestic and semi-feral/feral cats. We also assist owners with TNR (trap/neuter/return) for felines in their neighborhoods.
We also provide a safe place for another cat rescue to house their rescued felines safely.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Use Parelli Natural Horsemanship to assist current horses owners who are considering giving up their horse. 85% of first time horse owners give up their horse within the first 5 years.
Use Parelli Natural Horsemanship to retrain rescued equines, including wildhorses to make them more adoptable.
Secure grants that will provide the funding for our Parelli Natural Horsemanship training.
Update our donors on the progress we have made due to their support.
Engage new donors through social media and our website.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have been rescuing animals in need since 1995.
We have a proven track record for growing our donation support each year.
While we do believe that rescue people who work tireless hours should receive a salary just like anyone working for a company making for-profit products, we have not moved in that direction yet. Each year, when we've grown our revenue, we've saved more animals in need.
Our organization has been operating on just 1.25 acres. When people visit our ranch, they are amazed that we have been able to do so much with so little. To date, we've rescued over 200 equines, 85 HavasuPups, 14 HavasuHorses, 110 cats, 3 ducks, 28 chickens/roosters, Timothy Joseph Turkey, Azul the Peacock, 5 Rattlesnakes, 3 domestic female rats, dozens of wild birds, dozens of stray domestic dogs and an unknown number of humans.
