Mission

Our mission is to provide abused, neglected and unwanted horses a safe and psychologically nurturing environment. Our goal is to rehabilitate and then train them so they can be placed in a loving forever home.

About/Programs/Events/Services

Since we began in 2008 we have placed almost 200 horses in loving homes. We are an all-volunteer charitable organization. No one receives a salary. All donations go directly to the care of the horses. As of September, 2017, we have 31 horses in our care. It takes a lot of time and money to care for that many horses.
