About the Equine Rescue Center (ERC)
Monica Hardeman, President, Founder & Equine Manager has dedicated over nineteen (19) years to rescuing equines.
Equine Rescue Center (ERC) was founded in early 2009 by Monica Hardeman. Monica had an early start with horses. At four years old she would ride the ponies her rodeo, cowboy grandfather from Hollister got her and her cousins. She continued her love of horses and worked on a ranch in her teen years, her dream was to care for horses others did not give a chance. When Monica's sister was murdered in 1995 she found horses helped her cope with the pain of the sudden loss of her sister. Knowing how helpful horses were to her she wanted to share this with other's in need of help and healing. The goal is to rescue horses headed to slaughter; give them a second chance and have them live a herd life.
Our horses spend their days grazing pasture, running through the river, socializing and taking long naps. ERC vaccinates yearly, worms in rotations (to avoid resistance) four times per year and sand clears regularly. ERC has a pet pig (P Pig) and rescue dogs who were either abandoned or tied to our gate. Our equines, pet pig and dogs health is of the utmost importance. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us.
