OUR PASSION
At R&R New Options Equine, we believe in the power of the human – horse connection. Our goal is to foster confidence, a strong work ethic, and a sense of accomplishment in everyone we serve through engagement in the care, training, and rehabilitation of abused and neglected horses. All who wish to learn and grow are welcome here, regardless of age, race, class, gender identity, or ability.
OUR SERVICES
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization managed entirely by volunteers. All funding goes directly to the care and keeping of our horses, the well-being of our organization, and maintaining our facilities and equipment.
A WOMAN WITH A VISION
Originally, Leslie Roach just wanted a horse. She had worked with horses before, and thought she knew a thing or two about them. To her surprise, her first horse, Akshun Aravist, would teach her that she, in fact, knew nothing. It was a difficult but important wake-up call for ‘Aunt Les’ to realize that kindness is crucial to success with horses – and that being patient and opening your mind to their perspective will take you much farther than using force. It wasn’t long before she began to apply this philosophy to people too, and thus New Options was born.
GET INVOLVED
Donations are the lifeblood of our organization. Whether it is time, money, equipment, or services, your gift can make a difference in the life of a horse on the path to recovery.
Thank you sponsors!

Make a Donation
- It costs about $20 a day to care for a horse. Currently, we care for and support between 30 and 55 horses at any given time. Any donation amount helps. Would giving $5, $10, or $20 a month change your life significantly? We know it can change a horse’s life.
Support our Annual Fundraising Auction
