FCER is an all volunteer non-profit group dedicated to the rescue of horses, burros, and mules: their rehabilitation (both physically and mentally), and their adoption into good, loving homes. We will assist wherever, whenever we can, to help horses in need.
Located just outside Aztec, in the Four Corners area of New Mexico,we are licensed by the State of New Mexico, and follow the guidelines for rescues as set forth by the AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners). This guide can be viewed by clicking on the Forms icon, then AAEP.
Exciting news!!! FCER is holding a "Christmas in July" Auction on Facebook! Please Like the "Four Corners Equine Rescue Auction Fundraiser" page, take a look at the items up for bid, and share with your friends. We have lots of nice things in all price ranges - from crafts and jewelry to items that are sure to please collectors of Navajo and American Indian arts.
The Auction will run for 10 days - from 12:01am on July 10th to 11:59pm on July 20th. The Preview is from the6th to the 9th. Our goal is to raise money to purchase portable panels so we can build some smaller pens to enable us to work with the horses. Many have been lightly handled or are unhandled, and it will be much easier to begin their training for adoption in a controlled space.

Welcome New Arrivals
Spark
Spark came to FCER on 3-3-14. He had been dumped at a ranch. We estimate Spark to be about 25 years old. He was a cribber at some point so his teeth are very worn, making aging him difficult. We named him Spark because there was still a little spark left in him when we brought him home. And that's about all that was left. His appetite has greatly improved and he is alert and aware of his surroundings. Spark will go to the vet 3-24 for an evaluation.
*UPDATE
Spark's evaluation went fairly well. He has a heavy parasite load, ulcers, is anemic and has a slight respiratory infection. But by some miracle NO heart murmur! Since he is in fragile condition we will be addressing his issues slowly. First for antibiotics and iron supplement. Then the worms and ulcers when he is strong enough to withstand the stress.
