Mission Statement
Celebrate the rich heritage of The Meadow Event Park by hosting your equine and livestock events in one of our versatile spaces. The Equine & Livestock Complex offers the Southern States Legends Stable, First Bank & Trust Company Pavilion with Southern States Club Master Arena, four lighted outdoor rings with all-weather equestrian footing, show office and facilities for. Salt Lake County Equestrian Park and Event Center You’re Invited. Located just a few miles south of Salt Lake City, in the community of South Jordan, the 120-acre Salt Lake County Equestrian Park and Event Center has some of the finest amenities in the Intermountain West.
Our goal is to provide a safety net for severely neglected and/or abused horses, which after veterinary care, nursing, treatment, and management, can eventually return to living as healthy, active horses. This will be accomplished in a number of ways:
- A state of the art treatment facility with an eight stall barn and several outside corrals, two round rings and turnout area.
- Medical equipment to assess the health and condition of each horse and monitor its recovery.
- A foster care network to house healthy horses until they can be adopted.
- An adoption program designed to ensure each healthy animal will be well cared for the rest of its life.
The History of Mountain Meadow Equine Rescue & Rehab
Mountain Meadow Equine Rescue & Rehab Center, while a newcomer to the horse rescue community, comes from a long history of saving animals from neglect and abandonment. It started as the Animal Trust Foundation which was founded May 16, 1973 by Patrica Woodbridge Nelson. Originally named the Animal Trust Sanctuary, the foundation owned a five acre ranch in Ramona, California, where Ms. Nelson established and maintained a rescue center for dogs and cats. Years later the ranch was donated to Fund for Animals, a New York animal rescue of which Cleveland Amory was the head. The Animal Trust Sanctuary changed its name to Animal Trust Foundation (ATF) and continued in the ensuing years to donate funds to many local animal welfare and rescue organizations. It was in November, 2014 that the decision was made to create an offshoot from the Foundation designed to rescue and care for injured and starving horses. Thus Mountain Meadow Equine Rescue came into being.
Substantial investment was made in creating a state of the art care facility, including an eight stall steel barn, weight scale, and medical equipment. There are also six outside corrals with a half-acre paddock. As we grow there is room to expand to about double our current capacity. Being limited in space to about four acres, we focus on horses with urgent medical issues in the need of long term (six to twelve months) care, rather than warehousing abandoned animals. There are many rescues in San Diego County doing a great job in taking care of these orphaned horses and they deserve all the praise they receive. Our doors are open to any organization which may find itself overly burdened by the health care requirements of some horses with special needs. Additionally, equine veterinarians occasionally encounter an injured horse which requires long term care and which the owner cannot afford to address. In these circumstances, often the unfortunate choice is made to euthanize the animal solely because of the unbearable cost placed on the owner. These are our patients.
