EQUUS RESCUE AND THERAPY

Mission Statement

We believe a noble life deserves a second chance. Horses from many different backgrounds find their way to Equus Rescue, from ex-racehorses to slaughter-bound horses. Most come to us in poor condition - suffering from mental and physical wounds, along with battling starvation and illness. Following rehabilitation, which often lasts several months, our horses are retrained by certified professional trainers. This process involves several months of unlearning past traumas, learning manners, and being prepared for their new purpose - therapy horses. Studies have long shown the healing capabilities of equine therapy. Our rescued horses, many of which were once destined for slaughter in Mexico or Canada, or who were starved and neglected, are finding purpose in being therapy horses for at-risk youth, veterans, and others in the community.
