PEOPLE HELPING HORSES - HORSES HELPING PEOPLE
Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate horses that have suffered from abuse and neglect; help transition Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds and find them a new career; take in horses whose owners can no longer care for them; and offer our community educational and horse/human interactive programs.
Horses provide a powerful healing ability that everyone can benefit from. We share that healing with our community through our many programs working with those suffering from trauma, adult and youth community service, at risk youth and more.
We work with groups in the community to offer unique interactions with the horses and find ways to give back.
Check out our PROGRAMS section to learn more about our involvement.
We are a Volunteer drive, not for profit organization. Volunteers from all walks of life - most with no horse experience, learn how to care for horses and experience the emotional and physical well-being of connecting with horses. The joy that is found in spending time with horses keeps them coming back. Whether that time is spent grooming, mucking, or just sitting quietly with them, those times of feeling acknowledged, accepted and engaged are powerful.
We love meeting people in our community and sharing our passion. Come for a visit and get involved! No appointment needed.
We offer tours of the farm and we welcome you to come walk around, feed treats to the horses, and learn why the rescue is a special place where second chances begin. If you have a large group of over 8, please email us to coordinate a time to visit so we can accommodate you.

Since 2006, we have helped over 1,800 equines find new homes. We help retired racehorses find second careers. Animal cruelty/neglect cases regain their health and find loving homes. Second chances begin at the Rescue. Your donation is important because we are not tax payer supported. Your donation provides feed, care and ensures the horses have a future.
Please become a monthly donor ("Changing Hands") to help pay for feed and care. It costs an average of $18.11 per day, per horse to care for them. Your monthly donation changes lives.
