Mustang Alley Horse Rescue, Inc is a 501(c)3 non-profit horse rescue, dedicated to the horses of  Northeast Tennessee and the surrounding areas, to provide a safe and secure home for unwanted, abused, abandoned or neglected horses, mules, donkeys and ponies. We rehabilitate them and place them in qualified homes that have been screened and inspected. Adoption rules and applications are available on our site.

We at Mustang Alley Horse Rescue, Inc, would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support that made the difference for many horses this and every year. Although, we will always need help from the community to continue to save more horses from abuse, neglect, abandonment & slaughter.

This year Greene County has produced a bumper crop, please spread the word that these horses are facing a long winter and hay is desperately needed.

Because we are a 501(c)3 non-profit horse rescue,

ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

Call MAHR at 423-552-5988 to give.

PLEASE HELP US CONTINUE THIS IMPORTANT WORK!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Our rescue efforts cannot be accomplished without you! If you have the home, finances and experience to help one of the beautiful horses we have here at the rescue-YOU are in huge demand!

The majority of our horses have been rescued from one place or the other. Many have unknown histories. We care for them, we give them love, a healthy life, a job and a place they can call home.

Since 2006, Mustang Alley Horse Rescue’s adoption program has placed over 150 horses into loving, permanent homes. Adoption can be one of the most rewarding and wonderful experiences of your life. Here at MAHR, we believe that every horse should be loved and valued. At any given time, we have more than twenty horses of various breeds, sizes, and ages available for adoption. Open your heart to a Mustang Alley Horse Rescue horse, and adopt a partner for life!

This foal was one of the unlucky ones who didn’t make it.  Her mother was given Fescue grass in her pregnancy and couldn’t produce any milk…so when the baby tried to nurse, the mother was empty and tender and kicked the baby away because it hurt. A toss-away. We were notified the following morning, but it was too late.

We need your eyes, ears and digital pictures and donations,  if we are going to help these many, many horses that are abused, neglected, unwanted, abandoned and slaughter-bound, right here in our community.

If you see a horse on the “Adoptable” page that you are interested in, please fill out an Adoption application on the right, under “Forms” and send it in with the required $25 to MAHR and our staff will call you when we receive your application.  The $25 helps in the cost of travel expenses and paperwork to qualify each applicant.  Even if you don’t see one that you are interested in, if you fill out the application and send it in, we can get you approved, so you will be ready when that special one does come in!

Hope after 4 months at MAHR!

MAHR accepts horses from owners who wish to relinquish ownership for various reasons, including financial hardship, moving, divorce and other reasons. Many of these surrendered horses are healthy and are merely in need of a new adoptive family. MAHR obtains legal ownership of surrendered horses accepted into our guardianship with the goal of placing them into suitable adoptive homes.

MAHR works closely with Animal Control in some of the surrounding counties. They have placed horses with us that have been abandoned or surrendered.

MAHR also obtains or buys horses from the sale barns to prevent them from being bought by the “killer buyers” where their future is unknown. Even though the slaughter houses have been closed down in the states, they are still very open in Mexico and Canada and they ARE being transported by the killer buyers from sale barns.

We do not euthanize for the sake of making room or an inability to adopt a horse out in a certain period of time. We euthanize a horse ONLY when absolutely necessary and/or under the following circumstances; if a horse is a danger to themselves or our volunteers; if we have exhausted every remedy, both traditional and alternative, to resolve a medical issue that is affecting the horse’s quality of life. Then and ONLY then will we cut a horse’s life short – we do not want any of our horses to suffer needlessly. Our vet will be the only one who will euthanize any horse if necessary.

Rescue horses in our pasture.

***MAHR holds Horse Care classes twice a month for people who would like to learn more about the care of our equine friends. All potential adopters that are not experienced in horse management are required to take these classes. We also offer training programs of Natural Horsemanship. If you are interested in attending one of these horse care classes, or training programs, please contact MAHR. We believe in the barefoot trim, and all our stable horses are ridden w/out shoes.

MAHR is in need of any in kind gifts of hay, senior feed, whole oats, suppliments, wormers and volunteers! Please help us help the horses!
