Gerda's Equine Rescue (GER) is a Vermont based 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to rescuing horses from the unthinkable fate of being slaughter bound for human consumption. Since its founding in 2005 GER has been able to able to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home over 1,000 horses.
We embrace diversity and equality at GER. We are committed to embracing our community with a variety of backgrounds, skills and views. The more inclusive and diverse we are, the better our work will be and the more horses we can help.
GER relies on people like you! We could not do the work we do if it were not for our volunteers. We are always looking for help around the farm. It doesn't matter if you have horse experience or not, we have plenty of opportunities for everyone. Contact us if you'd like to lend a hand.
Help provide unwanted, abandoned, & neglected equines with a 2nd chance!
Any gift and any amount is greatly appreciated! Your donation is tax deductible and 100% goes to our horses.
