Our mission at Bergen County Horse Rescue is Caring for Horses Mind, Body & Soul

The mind, body and soul of our horses are what we care about and strive to preserve, as we rehabilitate and protect abused and neglected horses. It is our responsibility to provide the proper nourishment for each horse according to the horse’s individual conditions and needs, and with the direction of veterinarians, farriers and other equine professionals. We implement specific health plans and reconditioning programs that strengthen and elevate the mind, body and soul of every horse. Though various methods are used to improve horse health, the main support horses need is an environment where they can live as a herd and receive love and care from humans.
