Your Donation Makes a Difference
The Illinois Horse Rescue of Will County was founded in 2011, to provide shelter and care for mistreated or abandoned horses and other animals. We provide shelter, food, and veterinary services for these animals until a suitable home can be found. As secondary services, we provide educational and therapeutic programs to local schools and charities with and about these animals.
RESCUE REPORT!

...Have you ever felt as though misfortune continually follows you? That sentiment resonates deeply with all of us at IHRWC. Having barely survived the past few years, we are now struggle with a drought! As if sky-high prices weren't enough, the cost of hay is expected to rise due to a poor yield caused by the scarcity of rain. For instance, in June 2022, IHRWC's hay field produced 40 round bales, whereas this year, it yielded only 18. That's less than half of what we rely on to nourish ourselves. Consequently, we have incurred a loss of approximately $1,500. To sustain all of us, IHRWC needs around 4,000 small square bales annually, amounting to a staggering $20,000 required for hay alone!...
