Rally for the Rescues Trainer Challenge was started in 2016 in Middle Tennessee and was the vision of Hilda Keller and Dawn Roberts. Both these ladies not only had a passion for equine but wanted to find a way to support the hard work and dedication "Rescues" put in to help Tennessee equine in need. Abused, neglected and abandoned equine who needed someone to rescue them and give them a new start. This Training challenge was designed to help Tennessee equine rescues get their horses the necessary training needed to be successfully adopted into forever homes. This challenge also shows that rescued horses are trainable and valuable. Worthy of being shown to the best of their abilities. Under a new name for 2022, Rally 4 Rescues will continue on this training challenge and give horsemen and horsewomen a chance to publicly display their training abilities. Ultimately the goal is to get more horses adopted and show the world what happens when you change a horse’s life!
From unwanted...to treasured!

New for 2022:
Separate from the Rally 4 Rescues Trainers Challenge competition there will be an Open Rescue portion of this event. Any horses adopted through a Tennessee rescue will compete against and be judged separately from the trainers challenge. They will compete for prizes in their own division and classes.
