End Unnecessary Suffering in both Horses and Humans!
How We Do It
Our Mission
The Directors of The Medicine Horse Project acknowledge that animals are sentient beings with the power to heal the hearts of those who make a personal connection with them. We believe that animals should be admired, respected, and when needed, rescued. Our mission is the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of horses who have suffered neglect and abuse or are in jeopardy of being sent to slaughter.
The rehabilitation of the rescued horse will involve and engage volunteers and program guests who come to The Project’s healing retreats. Our guests will give care to the animals in The Medicine Horse Project, and in doing so, they will prepare them for adoption into new loving homes. The return benefit to the caregivers is a healing of the mind, body, and spirit that only animals can give humans. Sanctuary will be provided for certain rescued horses who are not well suited for adoption due to age, health issues, or temperament. In these cases, lifelong care will be given, and the horses will not be made available for adoption.
In addition to the rescue of horses in need, The Medicine Horse Project will also open its arms to other species of animals under special circumstances. The Medicine Horse Project makes its home in beautiful Buena Vista Valley on the outskirts of Imlay Nevada.
The Medicine Horse Project is an entirely volunteer organization. What does that mean? It means your donations go directly to the rescue, general care and rehabilitation of the animals that need us.
Your support pays for hay, grain, farrier care, veterinary care, fuel and so much more.

The Medicine Horse Project operates on 80 off-grid acres in beautiful Buena Vista Valley, Imlay NV. We are near the historical town of Unionville and are surrounded by gorgeous mountain views.
Our remote location provides a quiet, peaceful space for rescued horses to decompress and begin the rehabilitation process preparing for adoption. For those horses not suitable for adoption, we provide lifetime sanctuary making the rest of their life the very best of their life.
Your gift of love makes the difference in both horses and humans lives as we open our gates to people seeking a unique opportunity for deeper awareness and healing through our Resiliency Through Horsemanship Programs, Volunteering Programs and Natural Horsemanship Workshops.
Together we can end unnecessary suffering in both Horses and Humans.
Your support and contributions will help us with ongoing care and operations. The Medicine Horse Project is all about "healing" - starting with our horses. Starting over, building a brand new horse rescue from the bottom up, is a very challenging task. Our biggest needs right now are Hay and Fuel. Both are costing us double and sometimes triple what we paid for last year.
We are grateful for support of any kind, of any amount. Every penny is a gift! Thank you to everyone who makes our rescue work possible. We appreciate it and can guarantee you that the horses do too!
Many Blessings,
Chris Nichols,
President
