Welcome to The Herd!

Rescue. Rehab. Retrain. Rehome.

Shepherd Mountain Horse Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to giving horses a second chance through rescue, rehabilitation, retraining, and rehoming. Located in Mountainburg, AR we are passionate about giving horses a new outlook on life, regardless of their background, age, breed, or condition.

DONATE!

Each rescue horse case is different. However, it is our goal to provide them the proper care they have been neglected of. We strive to create a nutritional program geared towards each rescue horse to bring them up their desired healthy weight. While neglect in the form of malnutrition is highly common in the majority of our rescue horses, we also aim to seek proper veterinarian, farrier, and dentistry needs. These are the first and most essential steps in the rehabilitation process, followed by individualized training programs that will align each horse with their forever home that best suits their potential.

Take Action

Owners Jessica & Holly Shepherd have been rescuing horses since before 2016, when they officially established SMHR. They are joined by several team members who play huge roles in the day-to-day operations of the rescue. The success stories of each horse who have trotted through would not be possible without the support of volunteers, online followers, donators, and on-site staff members!
