EIN #83-1340004
We are a small, private nonprofit 501(c)3 horse rescue established August 10th, 2018 to rescue, rehabilitate, retrain, and rehome specific troubled horses by establishing a loving trust between the horses and humans again, in order to provide them them with the physical and mental ability to have that perfect heart loving home. This takes a great deal of time, patience and love along with a great deal of money...
Fundraisers and donations are gratefully accepted through Facebook/Meta Instagram, PayPal, Zelle and Venmo or mail.
We also have an Amazon wish list and a Chewy's wish list for those who would like to donate products instead of money!
100% of all donations goes directly to the care of the horses!
