Protecting the health and welfare of neglected and abused equines

Life-Saving Happens Here
Nellie spent nearly a year tied to a post with an 8-foot-long rope, an unbearable existence. When starved horses arrive at the Society, they are provided with all the hay they can eat. Your gift to the Buy-A-Bale campaign ensures desperately – and deservedly – needed care for every horse that comes to the farm. Please consider making a life-saving gift today to save horses like Nellie.
Feed the Horses Now
You’re invited to be a hero as part of the Horse Hero Monthly Giving Club.
A monthly gift allows your donation to make an impact all year. Indie, Violet, and all the horses in the herd require continuous care. Compassionate monthly giving from our Horse Heroes assures the horses receive food, shelter, veterinary care, farrier services, dentistry, and training.
