After a horse is placed in our rescue, finding them a good home is a priority. Many of the horses that are placed in rescue are there not because their owners were cruel or physically abusive, but because they didn't understand what it takes to properly take care of a horse.
Having a horse is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have; however the flip side of that reward is that having a horse is a lot of work. You have a 1000+ animal that depends on you for good food, clean water, clean surroundings, vaccinations, on-going medical care, companionship and grooming. If you can't give all those basics to a horse, owning a horse isn't in the cards for you at this time.
If you're willing to work a little for and with your horse, you can create one of the greatest friendships that ever existed. People that have never experienced a horse - human friendship are often surprised at the depth of feeling and emotions that a horse can convey. Once you learn the body language and sounds your own particular horse makes, you'll find that he actually has a language that you can understand.
It's hard to find good homes for horses that meet those basic qualifications and while they are waiting for a good home, we give our horses all the basics they need along with lots of love.
If you're ready to add a horse to your family, visit a rescue near your home. A rescue horse will make as fine of a companion as any other horse and there's a very special bond that develops between a horse that's been given a second chance and their new human companions.
