Veronica after arrival

Veronica after extensive farrier work and being nursed back to health at  Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue 


The love of animals knows no bounds. Here at Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue, our mission is to save the seized, surrendered, abused and neglected miniature horses and other animals that find their way into our lives and our hearts.

I’m Alison Smith, founder of the rescue operation. Since 2007, my husband Steve and I have dedicated our property, every spare minute of our lives and our personal financial resources to care for horses that have suffered abuse, neglect and abandonment or may have otherwise been slaughtered or left to suffer and die. Our rescue operation provides them one last chance when others have already walked away.  

Located in rural North Dakota, Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue is a 24/7, 365-day-per-year commitment. Why do we do it? Because this is our passion. We forego vacations and dedicate time off from our real jobs to nurse animals back to health. Then we provide the individual care and training needed to get them ready for adoption. Every success story – every animal that is re-homed to a loving family – makes all the sacrifices worthwhile.

As you can imagine, none of this comes cheap. That’s why we’re asking for your financial assistance.

The information below helps explain the scope of our rescue operation and the financing needed to continue this important work. Because we are a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) animal welfare organization, financial contributions are tax-deductible.

A Triple H Profile: Cotton’s Rescue Journey
