Mission Statement
To take in unwanted, mistreated, abused or neglected horses to rehabilitate and place them in good homes, thus preventing good horses from going to slaughter. Our goal is to help each horse find its purpose and give it a chance in life to meet its fullest potential.
Description
Our rehab includes injured horses, neglected and underweight horses, and pregnant mares ready to foal. For many of them, their problems were caused by owners who viewed them as disposable property. Although we are not a no-kill shelter, we make every effort to save all of the animals entrusted to our care. Unfortunately, some animals cannot be rehabilitated due to the extremity of their health issues upon arrival or because they are a danger to staff, volunteers, the other horses, or even themselves. An extension of our mission is educational outreach among the equine community.
