Our Story
Forgotten Horses Rescue is run by Trish Geltner, a lifetime horse lover and western horse trainer, and her husband and fellow rider, Greg. Trish’s professional experience enables her to evaluate and care for these often broken and dispirited horses, and rehab and retrain them, then match them up with the right adopter. From foals, through competition horses to the elderly horse, we offer food, shelter, vet care and most of all, love and compassion. Please join us!
