Mission Statement

Fox Equine Rescue & Youth Horsemanship Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity dedicated to rescuing unwanted horses, and educating the youth in our surrounding community on horsemanship, leadership, values, and trust. We rehabilitate and bring each horse back to optimal health, then offer them for our sponsorship program, adoption to a forever home, & our Youth Horsemanship Program, where children learn not just riding skills, but become all around horsepeople, and build lasting relationships.

Description

Fox Equine Rescue - Purposeful Rehabilitation

We take in horses that are full of potential, but that have been given up on for one reason or another. Problem horses, colts and fillies that have not made the cut, horses that have foundation issues that are now seen as "unusable" in their field, the list goes on. Our goal is to take in these horses, build or rebuild their foundation, and give them a purpose.

We strive for a natural communication between horse and human, one of willing partnership on both parts. We start or restart our rescues to not only willing partner who chooses to be with you, but to give them a purpose in their equine life, and purpose is all the difference. Whether their purpose is to be a solid trail horse, someone’s first ride, or a reigning or dressage performance horse, we give them a new start to be purposeful.

Our Goals:
* To rescue and rehabilitate horses in need, and give them a refreshed purpose in life, either through one of our programs, a foster home, or a forever adoption.
* To promote a natural way of communication with horses, where the purpose is mutual respect and a relationship where the horse trusts its human partner and sees us as a fit leader.
* To offer a Youth Horsemanship Program program, where children from our local community can learn everything involved in the daily chores on a ranch, health and welfare of the horse, and general horsemanship and riding skills.
