We Are Mountain Shadows Equine Revival
A rescue creating a better future for horses through care, training, and education. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit powered entirely by volunteers and donors, we not only take in and provide care for at-risk horses, but we also educate our volunteers and our supporters and train our horses from untouchable to rideable. That way, we can adopt the horses into loving homes and break the kill-auction and feedlot cycle.
“We could only watch so many horses with so much potential go through a kill auction under an hour from us before we decided to do something about it.”
The MSER Board
Sarah Buckhold – Social Media Manager and Board Member
Horses have always been a major part of Sarah Buckhold’s life. After growing up trail riding, she began training her first 3 year old horse when she was 14. Since then she has held many roles including training horses for others, helping manage equine facilities, working as a wrangler at a horse camp, showing horses in horsemanship, pleasure, and trail, and attending Feather River College as a student in their equine ranch training program. Sarah still has Inca, the mare that she trained all those years ago, and uses her to help train the rescue horses from time to time. In addition to serving on the board of MSER, Sarah heads the rescue’s training program and is the rescue’s Social Media Manager.

Lis got her start with horses at a young age, which eventually led her to pursue her Bachelor’s of Equine Science from Colorado State University. She has worked with thoroughbreds at the racetrack, started young colts, managed a private riding facility, tried endurance racing, and much more. Lis has two horses of her own, a mother-daughter pair of Morgans, Angel and Izzy, and loves to trail ride in the mountains. She’s always looking for her next horse adventure.
