This is our dream to help horses, I am disabled and my husband is retired. we work with the sheriff Dept in four counties. We pick up unwanted and neglected horses and rehabilitate them and find them good homes. We have place 12 horses and donkeys in good homes this past year. We have a 12 stall barn, a two stall stallion barn, we have a quarantine stall with paddock, and our pastures are divided. This is our home farm and we are here all the time. We have some of our own horses along with the ones that we rescue. The first animal we rescued was a donkey that teenagers were dragging down the road behind a pickup truck. When we went to get him my husband and a friend had to pick him up to put him on the trailer. We checked him and he had no fur left on one side and he could not stand on one leg. The vet said his leg wasn''t broken so we gave antibiotics and a tetanus shot. Today he is happy and healthy and I call him my watch donkey because I keep him in my front yard. I fell in love with him and had to keep him. Return to Top

FalconRidge is a 501c3 nonprofit, humane equine organization, sanctuary, rehabilitation and training center for the horse. Nestled in the rolling foothills of North Valley Center in San Diego County, FalconRidge Ranch was founded in 2002 in order to provide the care, rehabilitation, training and temporary or permanent home to unwanted, abused, neglected or slaughter bound horses. The average number of rescued horses at any time at FalconRidge is over 50. Hundreds of horses have been saved, trained, housed, or rehomed by the equine charity in the last five years. New arrivals get the proper veterinary care, nutrition, chiropractic, training, or surgery they need to improve their lives. Those horses whose lives have been saved from euthanasia, slaughter or from extreme neglect, will stay here forever. Some healthy sound horses have been donated or given up for various reasons and will be rehabilitated, trained and adopted out. During rehabilitation, the horses are exercised and properly socialized with other horses and people. Some arrive extremely depressed, not wanting much to do with other horses or humans. Within months they have transformed into horses that play and interact happily. It is the mission of FalconRidge Equine Rescue, Inc. to improve equine physical, emotional and mental wellbeing so that their lives are enriched, and they have a positive, healthy future.

Our facility is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization which serves as a rescue for EIA positive horses for the state of Florida. Our horses are able to live out their natural lives with dignity and safety as we provide quality care and human as well as herd companionship. Additionally, we educate the public about EIA. We have a SPONSOR-A-HORSE program which allows people from the local community to volunteer at our facility as well as sponsor an individual horse to groom, love and spend time with. We also serve as the largest research facility of its kind by providing researchers a blood source to study for eventual future cure and/or vaccine development for EIA. It is our hope that one day no horse will have to be euthanized because they test positive for EIA.(Equine Infectious Anemia) Return to Top

Open the Gate Inc., is a non-profit 501(c)(3). I have been with horses 30+yrs, having a natural ability to communicate with the misunderstood, mistreated, abused and unhealthy. From wild to retired rodeo broncs, they find me and we begin our journey through rehabilitation, re-building trust, mental and physical health, anger issues, and their best qualities until they are ready to go back into society. Each potential new owner is also evaluated, including their facility, their time to devote, their attitude, and most of all their reason for purchase. Some are urged to lease until they are sure this is something they can devote to as long as the horse lives. The lease program saves the horse from the tramuas of moving, realtionships, bonding, and the possiblity of being abandoned again. Our therapy program included horses and other animal assisted therapy for special needs children to enjoy a special time outdoors and bond with animals. Many of the rescued horses end up being the best for the therapy program and have been adopted by the special needs families. In 2008 we will be opening our doors to the Veterans with disabilities to improve the quality of life and introduce them to an alternative career in the equine field.

Full time, lifetime horsepeople. We have done nothing else but horses since 1967. Although a sales facility specializing in family horses...we have always educated first time horse buyers so that they are aware that the purchase price of a horse is not all that is involved. We have found that some people who "mistreat" horses have not done so on purpose but because they have not been educated in the care and expense involved in owning a horse. we have rescued many, many starving or mistreated horses, accepted any horses that needed help..rehabilitated, retrained and placed in "forever" homes. Since moving to Florida in 1999 have had many TB horses placed with us by local breeders and who were no longer wanted for whatever reasonwe pride ourselves in the fact that we have found the proper homes for each and every horse that we have handled. We are totally committed to "giving back" to the magnificent animal that we love and that has given us so much in our lifetime. We have been heartsick over the present controversy of horse slaughter in the U.S...the forming of this coalition is an extremely important step for the welfare of an animal that this country has depended on since the beginning of its foundation. We urge the lawmakers to consider every aspect of this issue to prevent the neglect of "unwanted horses" and also to remember that by banning regulated operations here in the U.S., we are also subjecting horses to much more cruelty by being shipped by people to facilities that have no "watchdogs" to govern the fate of the horse..and to have horses turned loose to fend for themselves and starve to death, or freeze to death and have no one to care for them is unacceptable. We have taught our animals to depend on us....we must be there for them. Remember....what horses can do for humans is absolutely awesome...In Ohio we maintained a program for a local "at risk" children''''s state facility....these kids came to our farm and had to have one counselor for each 3 children...that''''s how volatile they were...the kids didn''''t even have to ride when they came...we just introduced them to brushing, petting, leading...they just met the horses....I can tell you that you have never in your life seen anything like the blossoming and softening of these children when they placed their hands on the soft coats of the horse and the child''''s sad, hostile, confused eyes looked into the large soft understanding eyes of the horse. The use of the horse in today''''s society is still an awesome one.....Sincerely, Bud & Lydia Lauck Return to Top

Horses of all ages accepted, based upon current numbers. Have one opening as of June 1, 2009. Horses, burros and mules have freedom to chose to be in the barn or outside on bermuda grass pastures. Once here, they are here for life. Clients'''' horses become part of our family. We encourage owners to keep in touch, if they desire. We take the horses no one else wants as well as those too many people want. If you were a horse, you''''d want to reside and retire here! Currently not ''''nonprofit registered,'''' but if economics continue (TCSenior is $20/bag!) we may end up having to go that route. Licensed by the State of Georgia, fantastic vets and farriers, loving visitors, and for those to whom it is important, we have had our priest consecrate the ground in which we bury our dead, and we always have a sweet funeral. The backhoe people are most respectful. It is about the finest life and after place for a companion that you will find. We are experienced and sane. We work with a few special young people who benefit enormously from being around our horses. The weather is relatively mild. References available upon request. You may contact me any time.

We give our horses the highest quality of care, nutrition and mental help available. These horses are given every extra available to them to help bring them into the best physical and mental shape possible. All horses are given training time as well to help them gain a career and a job to successfully become placed with the rider owner/rider when they are ready. We have had an amazing success rate through our program for both horses in starvation, abuse and lameness. We have just a handful of our success stories available on our website, and will continue adding our success and happy endings as we continue forward helping horses and ponies. A large number of these horses actually are life long residence who with the right care, feeding and training have worked into horses in our program with children and adults who are leased on site to suitable riders and will never leave our facility. We make sure to find any horses placed after they are at 100% the best homes with continued high quality care and feeding. If you have an unwanted horse, please contact us to find out if we can help.

Traveller's Rest Farm is a small family owned and operated 34 acre equine retirement and layup facility located in Southern Maryland's beautiful Charles County. We are not a rescue or a not-for-profit, although we support local rescues that are. To that end, we do not take in donated horses. We believe that every horse deserves their retirement, in fact, this farm was purchased and is named after our very own Traveller. He was our riding horse well into his teens and this farm was purchased specifically so he would have a permanent place to retire to. He is pictured above and still oversees all farm operations. All our horses are treated to daily turnout in compatible groups ranging from 2 - 4 animals and given lots of love and attention on a daily basis. We operate solely for the comfort and safety of our horses and are dedicated to giving your horse the same care and love we do our own. Traveller's Rest Farm, its owners and affiliates promise to care for your horse as our own and treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve. Return to Top

The Shannon Foundation Farm is nestled in a beautiful valley in rural central Missouri. Covering over 100 acres, the animals are given every opportunity to live out their lives enjoying the peacefulness of nature, including spacious pastures, acres of woodland, a pond, and a running stream. The farm is a permanent sanctuary for most of our animals who mainly come from rescue situations ranging from abuse and abandonment, to pets whose owners have passed away leaving them homeless. One of our main goals is to help our animals adjust and grow into the beautiful, happy animals they were meant to be. Return to Top

As a horse lover, then owner, who purchased her first horse with babysitting money and grew up with him and later competed all the way to the Arabian Nationals on a $600.00 backyard rescue, my dream was to give back to the beloved horse who gave so much to me. My dream was realized a short 2 years ago. I currently run a small equine rescue facility who''''s focus is the 5 R''''s, rescue, rehab, retrain, rehome, and redo! We also assist other rescue groups in transporting horses pulled from auction/brokers/ life threatening situations. Non profit status is near completion and our hope is to secure a bigger facility and save more lives. Owner/manager has over 30 years experience with horses and horses are my first love.

I have accepted ⢬tually, they were just left here when their owners moved on) 4 older horses and have found that they are the best for teaching children and adults about the joys of learning to ride. I give them the supplements and the correct feed they need and they give minimal riding lessons and trailrides. These guys are the best. I have a need for more horses between say 6 yrs. to 25 years, but only a few. They would have lasting homes. I also have a 30 year young appaloosa gelding that a client supports that is still going strong and enjoys his ride time! Return to Top

We are a nonprofit Horse rescue/ Therapudic Riding program. We have after school programs where kids have otehr options than going home to an unhealthy enviroment. There we teach them basic care, etc. My family runs a small home for teengage girls so, we use them as well with our facility. We have Rescued 2 horses thus far and had a beautiful little horse donated to us. We are still growing a learning, but would love to help out in any way we can. Just moved are barn to larger acreage, but right now we only have a 5 stall barn, but are rennovating everything as it was an older structure and have capacity for at least 15. One thing we do require is that all our horses are able to be used barefoot. Sometimes we do make exceptions if the horse seems like the perfect match for one of our kids. Most of all we love Christ above all and are moving as God is leading. We are just starting off, but God has given me glimpses of what it will become, if you would like to be a part of that vision please feel free to contact me! Return to Top

We work predominantly with Thoroughbreds off the track, but accept all breeds. We retrain, rehab and re-home. Placement into new home is through an application process. We provide a transitional period for off the track Thoroughbreds prior to beginning any reschooling program and slowly re-socialize them with other horses into a herd situation so that they are able to integrate when placed into a new home.
