The Horse Shelter is a non-profit equine rescue organization located in Cerrillos, NM. We are a sanctuary for abused, abandoned and neglected horses throughout New Mexico.

Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate abused, abandoned and neglected horses throughout New Mexico.

The mission of The Horse Shelter is to serve as a sanctuary for New Mexico’s abandoned, abused and neglected horses. Rescued horses will be rehabilitated and adopted out whenever possible to environments that support their well-being and future long term care. The Horse Shelter has between 75 and 80 horses on site and adopts up to 30 horses per year into new homes. We have an onsite trainer that helps our horses get ready to go to new homes.
