Our programs are designed to rehabilitate rescued horses preparing them for a new loving life while partnering them with humans for hope healing and inspiration.
Simplicity in our curriculum is the key to a rewarding experience for all.
Resiliency through Horsemanship is a powerful tool for both horses and humans to find a path to a stronger well-being.
Horses in need of rescue is at an all time high. The cost of care continues to rise and many folks are being faced with very difficult choices.
We are here to help. Here to provide a soft landing. We are here to help heal both horses and humans
Through your support, we are changing lives, improving health and healing hearts.

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.
We have found the most perfect piece of heaven to expand our rescue efforts and programs. We have secured 80 acres and are building it from the first post and fence rail just for horses. Every board, nail, and detail designed for the safety, enrichment, and rehabilitation of rescued horses. We are doing it and we are having fun!!!! We ar
We have found the most perfect piece of heaven to expand our rescue efforts and programs. We have secured 80 acres and are building it from the first post and fence rail just for horses. Every board, nail, and detail designed for the safety, enrichment, and rehabilitation of rescued horses. We are doing it and we are having fun!!!! We are now located in the beautiful Buena Vista Valley on the outskirts of Imlay Nevada. Surrounded by mountain views, sage brush, antelope and even local hay growers we are building the new Medicine Horse Project. The land is a clean slate and we have already started building from scratch! Phase 1 is complete and the animals have been moved to their new home! We are beyond excited to do more of what we do best, rescuing horses and healing humans! We need your help to gallop to the finish line. Your tax deductible donation will help us continue the good work. This is an expensive venture but one with such amazing return in the ability to rescue more horses and offer more programs. Please partner with us in building this oasis in the high desert for horses and humans to come together and discover hope, healing and resilience.
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
