Our mission at the Bergen County Horse Rescue is to rehabilitate and protect neglected horses with the assistance of local animal control officers and veterinarians

 

The mind, body, and soul of our horses are what we care about and strive to preserve, and it is our responsibility to provide the proper nourishment for each horse according to the horse’s individual conditions and needs. 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. Horses enrich the lives of many people, so our hope is to rescue and rehabilitate these beautiful, sensitive animals.
