The

Issue

Every week, an average of 18 horses are sold at the livestock auction in our community. Approximately ten are purchased by kill buyers and shipped to Mexico to be slaughtered for meat. We rescue as many of these animals as we can, in addition to accepting and rehoming horses from families in personal crisis.

Our Priorities

RESCUE

Imagine a world where no horses fall through the cracks.

EDUCATE

Imagine a time where horses are no longer thought of only as tools or sports equipment.

CARE

Imagine a society that empowers every horse to reach their potential.

ADOPT

Imagine a culture where every horse is valued.
