About Us
We are regular, everyday people with a love for all animals. Our founder, Julie, has self-rescued horses since the 80's. Without the horses, she believes she would have failed, so it has been the horses that have rescued her. The horses are the real story here at RHSAVES horse rescue.
Connecting Horses and People
At RHSAVES horse rescue, we believe in the powerful connection between horses and people through shared physical presence. Horses are highly sensitive to human emotions, mirroring calmness or tension, fostering a unique bond.
Mutual Respect
Our foundation is built on mutual respect, treating every horse with kindness, fairness, and empathy. This is what sets RHSAVES horse rescue apart and guides our work in Tucson, Arizona.
Our Mission
To rescue, rehabilitate, and re-purpose horses facing the slaughter pipeline, connecting horses and people to foster mutual healing, enhance mental health, and provide accessible, positive equine connection.
"RHSAVES horse rescue has a huge heart. The care and dedication is clear to see and the love that Julie has for the horses is obvious."
A Happy Volunteer
