Eagle Hill Equine Rescue (EHER), a non-profit, organization is located just 11 miles off exit 130B (RT 3) on I-95 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. After 5 ½ miles, just before entering Chancellorsville Battlefield, turn right at the light at the intersection of Route 3 and Elys Ford Road (RT 610). You will be passing over a new reservoir, almost at road level, and proceeding on Elys Ford until you come to a very steep decline and cross the Rapidan River. At this point the spelling of the road changes to Eleys Ford Road. Our entrance is the first driveway on the left. There is an automatic gate with the entrance code of 1- 2- 3- 4 and the gate will close on its own after giving you plenty of time to enter the farm.
In addition, we have a leased facility just one mile from EHER, which is over 30 acres, has a nine stall barn and will become our training facility in Spring 2010.
We specialize in young horses, mostly under the age of 8, some arrive here as 4 or 5 day old orphaned foals, which we hand raise, to horses ready for saddle training up to the age of 8. We also have quite a few horses that will remain under 14.2 that would make outstanding 4H or Pony Club projects.
We also feature seasoned riding horses, horses that are new to the saddle that need additional hours of training and quite a few potential eventers, hunters/jumpers and dressage prospects. In this category are registered Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, Thoroughbred/Draft Crosses (mainly Shire and Percheron) and Arabian/Thoroughbred Crosses. We are adding to our new riding horses thanks to Kelsi, a very talented trainer. These trained horses are being ridden regularly by our extensive number of experienced riders.
We routinely have an average of about 90 horses and nurse mare foals up for adoption. Please check our listing to see if one is right for your family! Our horses and nurse mare foals are looking for "just the right everlasting home". Is yours the one they're hoping to find? They certainly hope so and Thank You for your consideration.
