The main objective of our team using these innovative, holistic, alternative and complimentary therapies is that we aim to increase the comfort and quality of life for the equines in our care - Whether the ailments are chronic or acute, these therapies can assist them in recovering after abuse, neglect, and other horrific things they have been through. An important thing to note is that alternative therapies do NOT and should not ever take the place of traditional medical and veterinary care. We use these therapies as an additional assistance to our horses on top of the most state of the art veterinary and medical care around.

Our Mission

Who is Viva?

Who is Viva?

We rescue horses from severe abuse and neglect situations, as well as from slaughter and natural disasters. 

The horses come to us in poor condition, requiring lots of medical attention and rehabilitation for the rest of their lives. 


We also have a neonatal kitten nursery where we provide 24/7 care to orphan kittens- eventually finding them the PURRfect adopted homes that fit their needs best!
