I am a CPA with a strong background of experience with non-profits. I do the tax compliance work for LEAN too. Because of my experience, there are many organizations I would never donate to because I can intimately see how the money is used. This is not the case with LEAN. I am a regular donor because I know my money is going to the horses and these people do this work for the right reasons. I couldn't be happier donating to a local charity for the care of animals.
I'm a professional dog and horse photographer here in Las Vegas and last year volunteered to do the LEAN 2019 calendar. It was so rewarding meeting 14 of these wonderful survivor horses and capturing their spirit thru my lens for the calendar. All their fosters were very kind and patient while I was photographing them.
Everyone involved with LEAN gives so much of themselves to help these horses have a better life. This rescue is wonderful, all you have to do is see some of the before pictures when the horses first came to LEAN than the after photos, and you know why I want to work with them again.
Even though I have a busy work schedule now with my regular sessions, I had to say yes! to do the LEAN 2020 calendar once again. I look forward to meeting the new horses and showcasing their beauty and personality with my camera.
L.E.A.N. is amazing! They take amazing care of the horses they save. I am lucky enough to have adopted the most amazing horse from them, Captain Jack Sparrow. He was abandoned out in the desert by his previous owners. Starving and injured with a nail piercing through his hoof. L.E.A.N. took him in, and with their amazing care helped him heal. He is now the most spoiled and loved thoroughbred. I thank L.E.A.N. every day for saving my heart horse!
This is a fantastic group making a difference! Horses are such majestic animals and deserve to be cared for and this group does just that!
This organization is truly dedicated to their mission. This is not some backyard hoarder, or someone that is profiting from these animals that have been sorely let down by their former owners. LEAN spreads the workload out amoungst its members so that each foster can provide the best possible care for a horse, or in some cases, horses. This of course includes feeding, grooming, stall maintenance, medical care and sometimes training and lessons in good manners. The final step is to find a forever home for the horse through a thorough adoption process.
The guiding principle is always, "Do what's best for the horse". They have saved dozens of horses with this method, and along the way people have had great experiences with these rescues.
These are the good guys.

I have been following this organization since it's inception, and I wish to express my admiration for the selfless work these men and women have done for abused, neglected and abandoned animals. Not only have they saved many lives, and improved the quality of life for many others, they are providing a community service and working with Clark County to reduce the cost and complexity of dealing with these animals.
The genius of their plan is to spread the load out to as many people as possible. Can volunteer a little time or a little money great, or if you're a major benefactor there is room for you too. Also this method can be replicated anywhere as you don't need a building, land, storage, vehicles in the name of the charity, the people involved provide these things.
Highly motivated, highly ethical, and highly effective, too bad there isn't a 5-star+ rating.
L.E.A.N Is an all volunteer organization. They work tirelessly to save equine and sometimes a dog or 2.. Awesome group.
L.E.A.N. finds foster care and ultimately loving homes for horses who are seized due to neglect by Clark County Animal Control. They don't take (by their charter) owner surrenders.
But owners sometimes lose their a ability to care for their horse. L.E.AN. still cares and helps find a solution for their care.
See Izzy, L.E.A.N. helped a caring member of the community find a solution for this horse that had both a medical issue and a care issue.
I have watched and donated to L.E.A.N. since it's inseption. If you care for animals and want all your $$ to go to the animals (not into the pockets of the organizers) pick L.E.A.N. Choose those that help their own and others.

We are Sentinel donors for this horse rescue. We fully and unconditionally recommend this organization to anyone considering supporting L.E.A.N. Every $ is used for the horses, no opportunity is overlooked for gaining community resources. 5 stars everyday.
Words can't explain how greatful our town is having L.E.A.N. for all the horses. The amount of help that is given is unbelievable. So many lives have been saved with the help of so many people. I love working with L.E.A.N. and look forward to what the future is going to bring.
LEAN is a wonderful asset to our local horses in need. Through a network of volunteers they make sure all horses get the one on one care they need to be rehabilitated.

I am a L.E.A.N volunteer and all I can say is how honored I am to be a part of this community. That's exactly what L.E.A.N is, an entire community coming together to assist these horses and burros in need. From the smallest donation to those that put in countless hours of work and dedication (the board members, all of the volunteers like the fosters,the training team, the tack team, the local show's that choose L.E.A.N as a beneficiary, the event team, the transport team, the education team, the grooming team, the media team, and the various equine health teams that chip in) this truly is what community is all about. I am very proud to be surrounded by such incredible people that care so much about these animals. Keep up the great work everyone!
L.E.A.N. honored me with the chance to foster for them.it was an amazing experience and after the 3rd one I am a foster failure yepp..I adopted Dublin win win all the way around amazing caring Staff ..thank you team you deserve all that God has prepared you for..love you all
Amazing organization! Without all the wonderful people on the board and the services they provide, many horses in our community would never have a second chance to enjoy their life! ❤
Lean has helped so many horses find a new home that would otherwise have nowhere to go. Thank god they’re here for all the unwanted horses and donkeys taken in by Clark County Animal Control.

This organization provides ahuge service to this community. It steps in to help those with few resources. They are unique and essential.
I am blessed to have been a previous volunteer with this group, and can't say enough about the teamwork and sheer, genuine care and passion this team puts into their ever important work! I have been involved in rescues for almost a decade now, and can honestly say this is the most successful, well-run, and genuine groups I've had the pleasure of being involved with.
LEAN takes unwanted, mistreated horses and provides them the best opportunity for a safe, healthy, and successful future by ensuring proper medical care, maintenance, and training. They carefully review applications for adopters and make sure it is the best fit for all.
I'm impressed with the work that LEAN does for rescued horses, some with serious issues. They take the time that each horse needs and provide the care to ensure that everything is done to help each horse thrive. LEAN benefits the horses they save and also the community. It's encouraging to see a local nonprofit that operates so effectively for all of the horses in their care.
What an amazing group of dedicated volunteers ! LEAN embodies a public-private partnership that brings together all riding disciplines, animal lovers, businesses and the entire rural community to benefit these animals. I am honored to work with this diverse network of volunteers making the difference in so many lives. The humans reap the benefits as well

LEAN / All Vegas Horses steps in to rescue and rehome unwanted horses in Las Vegas and partners with animal control officers to assist with the care of these animals. The system is already overwhelmed with small animals and not equipped to gentle horses. LEAN has a network of volunteers with the expertise to help. On more then one occasion I've had the honor of witnessing such teamwork between Animal Control, the local equine vet and a small army of tireless volunteers with support of donors to save and rehome these magnificent creatures. Without LEAN these
Horses would go to the feedlot and most likely slaughter
Las Vegas community is so lucky and grateful for LEAN. Too many wonderful stories to comment on. We LOVE LEAN!

LEAN continues to be the best option for abandoned and abused horses in Las Vegas. The list of volunteers grows each year, creating an ever greater opportunity for the success of the animals taken under their care. In addition to all they do for these animals, they have added H.A.H.-N.A.H (Have a Horse-Need a Horse), a way for those looking to rehome their horses or to find that special animal not currently in foster care. More communities could benefit from these types of programs and I commend all who are involved.
LEAN is a great charity that is run by all volunteers. I've helped them with their golf tournament for the past three years and every year we make it more fun and we raise more money. I'm proud to help my community through LEAN Horse Rescue.
Wonderful organization. Check out their site. Watch theses horses transform from skin/ dones & un trusting to beautiful confident animals with a positive future. It's amazing to be part of this journey. I fostered a paint who came to lean at the worst condition possible. She recently was adopted and lives a great life with her forever family . Now loves her weekend trail rides. This is why L.e.a.n is so amazing.
What a great group of caring people. So dedicated to helping abused and abandoned horses. They work hard every day to ensure every horse under their care is taken care of. I foster horses from their organization. I take comfort knowing they are making a difference everyday. They are guardian Angels for these horses.
I love how much this group cares about the animals they take in. I have taken a fond liking to this group because as a donor you get the before during and after updates of the animal they are saving. I never have to wonder if they are miss using the funds donated as you can watch these animals thrive in their care and make it on to their forever homes. The amount of time the volunteers give to the horses is so heart warming to me. LEAN holds a special spot in my heart and my daughter heart.
Absolutely love this place! I continue coming here to volunteer absolutely love the staff. They put their hearts into saving the lives of innocent horses whose owners have abandoned or abused them. They also adopt out horses to loving homes. I ride Toronado which came from them. Their stories will break your heart...but their love and dedication is respected. Please help support them! I do...
As a local trainier and LEAN foster in las vegas, i just want to say LEAN is such a professionally run non profit rescue with such a loving and dedicated staff. They truly are making a difference in our community, and i hope people continue supporting this organization through volunteer work, supporting their events, donations , and/or fostering .

What a great organization with an extremely important cnause and viosion. All the respect in the world for the volunteers, fosters, and donors to this cause.
LEAN has the most caring, generous community of horse lovers. It's so heartening to see people from all disciplines and experience levels volunteer their time and TLC, open up their barns, give donations for feed, medical care, farrier care, transportation and training to save neglected and abandoned horses in Southern Nevada. Because of LEAN's community support, these horses transform from starving and dejected to healthy, happy equines. It truly takes a village!
The group of people at L.E.A.N. are amazing! They take horses that have no hope, rehabilitate them, and hopefully be able to adopt them out to their forever home. Or in the case of Annie and Branch they provided them a green pastures to live out the rest of their life with love, peace and comfort like they deserved!

L.E.A.N a great organization that is dedicated to changing the fate of abused and neglected horses. Giving them a second chance at life. I'm glad l.e.a.n allowed me to be part of this amazing process. I have fostered 3 of l.e.a.n's horses.
I’m a mechanical engineer who used to live in Las Vegas. I became involved in L.E.A.N. as a volunteer. I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most compassionate, caring people while I worked as a volunteer. This is a great non-profit organization.

A wonderful nonprofit who have saved the lives of otherwise abandoned, neglected, or abused horses. All of the volunteers are wonderful caring people truly dedicated to literally bringing these horses back from near death. And the difference LEAN makes does not stop there. The rescued horses become wonderful companions to their adopters. It is truly a life changing event to see the difference this rescue group has made.
It would be nice to have an email or phone contact. Your service to these lucky horses & burros is highly commendable. I want to recommend you for a charitable auction, but you need to be reached, but not by a box number.

Thank you for your comment. Our phone is at our website, FB page, and listed here at Great NonProfits. At our website, under the Contact Us tab, is our phone as well as a way to submit an email to us directly, which is allvegashorses@gmail.com. There is only a PO Box because we do not have a ranch facility - all our horses are kept in foster homes. I hope this is helpful.
I would like to recognize the L.E.A.N. nonprofit that works with rescue horses. I have never seen so many people working so many hours of their own time dedicated to the rehabilitation and placement of these rescue horses. They work so hard to bring the horses back to good health and then get them ready to ride. They are a group of knowledgeable individuals who truly care about the welfare of the animals.
