Typical Services Offered

• Horse Rescue: Our primary focus is on rescuing wild horses from situations of abuse, neglect, and overpopulation. We work closely with local authorities and other organizations to provide safe transport and care for these animals.
• Rehabilitation: Once rescued, each horse receives thorough veterinary care, proper nutrition, and training to prepare them for eventual adoption or return to the wild.
• Adoption Services: We facilitate the adoption of rehabilitated horses, ensuring that they find loving and responsible homes. Our adoption process includes thorough screening and education for potential adopters.
• Education Programs: We offer workshops and tours for the public to educate them about wild horse conservation, the ecological importance of these animals, and the challenges they face in the wild.
• Volunteer Opportunities: We welcome volunteers to assist with daily operations, including grooming, feeding, and caring for the horses. This is a great way for individuals to connect with horses and contribute to their well-being.
