Horse of the Month:
Lady
Everyone's favorite 29 year old mare, Lady, loves being a part of the GVHR family. She is a retired gymkhana horse. When she first arrived her feet her so overgrown she was lame. Since being rescued, she is now moving much better after corrective shoes and chiropractic treatment. Lady lives at a foster home with Sterling, our auction rescue from October of 2021. Sterling is thriving with his new family.
We love Lady!
What's Happening Now:
On April 8, there were 9 horses at the rescue. Over the weekend, we had 6 new horses arrive at the rescue.
The rescue is now a member of the Fruita Chamber of Commerce.
We launched our sponsorship drive at the Fruita Coop Farm and Ranch Days. We need 240 sponsors at $22 per month.
GVHR moved to a new home! Our new address is 2327 H Road.
Everyday, the rescue grows more and more, both with horses and riders. Because of this large increase of friends that have joined us in this journey to save horses, we need a bigger place. A donation to help us during this new journey would also be greatly appreciated! Par calls this new journey:

What We've Accomplished This Month:
Queen and Wilder attended their first gymkhana in March. Their relationship is developing nicely.
Butter grew the most during the month of March. She let Lila ride on her, she carried a saddle, and most importantly she loaded in a trailer. It took her 5 days but she finally succeeded!
Rita missed her Princess during the month of March but that didn't stop her from being trained as everyone pitched in to train her.
Maximum Horse Power and his Princess worked all month on stepping up a dressage level.
Wall-E had a great month of training. He attended the March gymkhana, he learned to be vaulting horse and he loves being groomed.
Paulsar led the herd into the new location with calm self assurance. He loves his new large paddock and his paddock mates.
Simon is still the most loved and hardest working horse at the rescue. He loves his new digs as he has his own private stall with a centrally located paddock to ensure he never misses a carrot. But, he really loves that grass!
Babe is living the best life! She is in a pasture with her best friend, Emma Lou.
We accepted 6 new horses this weekend!
Our first Hallelujah horse arrived, Shirley. Big Kenny will be joining her soon when we find a larger trailer. For more information on a Hallelujah horses please follow the link below.
Shasta, an Evanescent Mustang, arrived with Shirley. She was scheduled to come after she had grown a bit, but Shirley needed a traveling companion. For more information regarding Evanescent Mustang Rescue and Sanctuary follow the button below.
Ruby, Rio and Denali (formerly known as Whiskey) arrived. For more information about why their were surrendered please follow the button below.
Hank arrived to join our senior community and has become good friends with Simon.

Statistics becomes much more manageable when formulas start making practical sense. The frequency dencity equation helps explain how values are distributed within class intervals. It plays an important role when analysing grouped data visually. UNICCM includes this concept in programmes focused on analytical and technical skills. Learning this properly improves accuracy when reading statistical charts. This skill is especially useful in engineering, construction, and data-related fields.
I read the post about Grand Valley Horse Rescue in March and it made me smile thinking about how people care for animals who need help and love. Last semester when I was really stuck in math I used get an A in MyMathLab at that time to get extra practice and it helped me feel less worried about my grades. That reminded me that support can make hard moments feel lighter and worth it.
I just read the Grand Valley Horse Rescue March 2022 update and loved how you shared Lady’s comeback story and all the new horses arriving at the rescue, showing real growth and community spirit. It took me back to a hectic college week when I was buried in work and ended up needing someone to do my Philosophy class just to keep my head above water while I volunteered at an animal shelter. Your post reminded me how care and patience matter so much for both animals and people.
I read the Grand Valley Horse Rescue – March 2022 update and it felt nice to see Lady getting better and so many new horses coming in. It made me think of a time I was really stressed with big tests and I needed help with doctoral-level exams just to keep going. Your post shows how caring for animals and staying kind really matters in life and helps you grow in small ways.
I read the Grand Valley Horse Rescue – March 2022 update and loved hearing about Lady’s comeback, all the new arrivals, and how the rescue keeps growing with events and sponsors to support their work. It took me back to a busy college week when I felt overloaded and had service that time to do my assignment UK style just to stay on track while I helped out at our local animal shelter. Your post shows that giving time and care really pays off for both people and animals.
