East Tennessee Miniature Horse and Donkey Rescue
ETMHD was founded August 10th of 2016. We are one of the Nation's few rescues devoted to helping miniature equines in need. We help an average of 85 miniature horses, donkeys and mules a year. WE ARE 100% DONATION FUNDED AND A PROUD MEMBER OF THE HOMES FOR HORSES COALATION
ETMHD sits on a little over 6 acres of pasture which is divided into small paddocks and dry lots suitable for miniatures. Each paddock and lot has its own shelter. ETMHD houses an average of 35 miniatures at any given time. This total includes several that are in the Sanctuary Program.
Numbers in this video were current as of Spring 2020, ETMHD takes in an average of 85 minis per year.
ETMHD is a small rescue made up of volunteers who want to make a big difference in the lives of small equines. Our mission is three fold:
-
To be a safety net for miniature horses, donkeys and mules that are at risk of being homeless or going to auction.
-
To educate potential adopters and mini owners of the care and needs of these little equines.
-
To educate the public about the plight of the unwanted horse.
