MVHR Vision, Mission & Values

MVHR Mission

Mountain Valley Horse Rescue’s (MVHR) mission is to rehabilitate and rehome equines in need, while working to reduce the cases of at-risk equines through education and outreach.

MVHR Vision

MVHR envisions a world where every equine is loved and cared for. Until then, we provide rescue services and act as a center of excellence—educating, raising awareness, and changing attitudes and practices to improve equine welfare.

MVHR Values

RESPECT

  • Every equine is cared for, valued and respected as an individual.

  • Every person with whom MVHR interacts is respected and valued as an individual.

COMMUNITY

  • MVHR actively participates in and contributes to our broader communities.

  • MVHR supports the Western farming, ranching, cultural, historic and equestrian roots of our community.

EDUCATION

  • We value our unique position to teach about and connect people with equine welfare, care issues, and skills.

PARTNERSHIP

  • We offer lifetime consultation for adopters of our equines and we will always take back an equine who has been adopted from MVHR.

STEWARDSHIP

  • The welfare and needs of each equine are first and foremost.

  • The land, and all of the natural resources in our care, will be managed towards long term improvement and sustainability.

MVHR rescued its first horses in 2004, and became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2005.
