Equine Rescue Center (ERC) was founded in early 2009 by Monica Gavin. ERC received 501(c)3 status March 2009. ERC is a nonprofit animal welfare charitable organization operating solely by volunteers and directors. ERC volunteers and directors receive no compensation. We have no staff or employees. All donations go directly to the equines feed, board, medical and hoof trimming.

Administrative Director/Secretary: Teresa Kpachavi
Director of Fundraising: Valerie Allen
Equine Care
Our horses, donkeys and goats spend their days grazing pasture, socializing and taking long naps. We design a dietary plan including supplements, vitamins and minerals to meet their individual nutritional needs. Our older equines, with arthritis and injuries, are supplemented with joint relieving medication and homeopathic remedies to ensure quality of life. In the winter months our equines are blanketted, fed hay, grain and their required supplements.
Our equines health is of the utmost importance. We have a parasite and worm control program. They receive quarterly visits with our veterinarian and are on a eight week program with our donating farrier, Jay Hatfield.
