The Grace Foundation Equine Horse Rescue & Rehabilitation in El Dorado Hills

The Grace Foundation of Northern California is an equine rescue and rehabilitation facility located in El Dorado Hills, CA. We provide critical care and rehabilitation for abused and neglected horses and utilize our rescued horses for equine assisted learning and therapeutic programs for youth and children. Our purpose is to protect, care for, and heal these two important groups - children with special emotional and/or physical needs and abused and neglected animals.

...Nebraska Mustang Rescue...

In late April, 2009, the Humane Society of the United States assisted with the rescue of more than 210 neglected and starving wild mustangs in Alliance, Nebraska. After two weeks of stabilizing care in Nebraska under the direction of HSUS personnel, 84 of the mustangs were transferred to the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Texas.
Since then, equine experts from The Grace Foundation have joined the HSUS team at Black Beauty Ranch to assess the condition and adoptability of the horses. The horses have been treated for their ailments and Grace Foundation trainers were brought in to work exclusively with the mustangs.

Special thanks to Dr. Mike Russell, Tricia Esparza, Katja Wendt-Dyssegard, Sheree Stein, Sean Losee, Michael Hutchinson and Jim Ratajczak for their assistances in assessing and treating the mustangs.

ANIMALS FOR ADOPTION
more than just horses.... 

The Grace Foundation is home to more than just horses. We are also home to may sheep, goats, cows, cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies.
Many times puppies and kittens are dropped off at animal control agencies, too small for immediate adoption. In those cases we help when we can, taking in these tiny animals and caring for them until they are old enough to be spayed/neutered and then adopted.
If you are looking  for a pet please contact us!
As of June1, 2009...
Adoption List:
  • over 30 horses  
  • 5 beautiful, young adult female cats, spayed and vaccinated 
  • 18 adorable kittens, spayed, neutered and vaccinated
