Why Do Horses Need Rescuing?

One of the most common questions we get from our guests and followers is, “Where do the horses you rescue come from?” The truth is, the answer varies in every case.

Unfortunately, the horse industry overwhelmingly puts the needs of humans before the well being of the animals. Some of our rescues have been as simple as a well-meaning owner who might have fallen on hard times. Others, like in the case of the Lucky 8 who were saved from slaughter, are a direct result of humans working to profit from the mistreatment and abuse of these animals.

Horses are sensitive and intuitive beings that require great care and attention. It is a huge responsibility, and we know we may not be able to save every animal from a world that treats them unfairly, but we will continue to try, One Horse at a Time.
