We opened our doors on November 10th of 2011 when we came across a neglected and starved horse abandoned on thousands of waterless and yellowed acres in New Mexico. By his condition, we knew we would need the help of fellow horse lovers to try to save him. We took to the internet to ask for help and people like you answered. We received donations from far and wide to help us try to save the little bay gelding but, alas, it was not to be. His skeleton of a body gave out on him before we were able to get him to safety and the little bay gelding left this life of pain and dispair and moved on to the never ending green grass and water of the meadows along the rainbow bridge. We could not let his death be in vain so we created Ranger's Legacy Equine Rescue in his memory. Each horse that has come to our faciility in the last 12 years for their second chance, have done so because of the bravery of that little bay gelding.
We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 non profit organization in good standing with the IRS. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and facilitate the adoption of neglected and abused horses in New Mexico and surrounding states. First and foremost, we are dedicated to providing a safe, healthy environment for rescued horses in the Roswell area and beyond. We follow the AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners) care guidelines for Equine Rescue and Retirement Facilities. Our goal is to rehabilitate horses to be adopted to well-screened homes, where they can, once again, serve a useful purpose and have a second chance at life.
