Equine Rescues
​
Minnesota Federated Humane Societies believe in and supports efforts to identify and certify rescues throughout Minnesota. The following list is brought to you by the Minnesota Horse Council Certified Rescues program.

As aid to those individuals that want to donate time, money or resources to equine rescue facilities, the Minnesota Horse Council believes it is imperative to identify and recognize rescues that meet standards of care. In order to become certified, a rescue facility must show they have non-profit status (501 (c) (3)) and that they meet or exceed the AAEP guidelines for equine rescues and retirement facilities.  The Minnesota Horse Council lists the following stables and rescue organizations that meet its certification guidelines but does not warrant or endorse these organizations for any other purpose. 
To date, these equine rescue organizations have met our standards:
​
  • Sundown Horse Shelter in Hugo

  • MN Hooved Animal Rescue in Zimmerman
