Equus Rescue and Therapy

Our Mission

Equus Rescue and Therapy is a 501(c)(3) Tax Deductible Non-Profit organization.

We rescue horses who are retired from the race track, horses in horrific conditions and kill pens on their way to slaughter. We give them a second chance at life, another chance at a career, new homes or a dignified retirement.

Equus Rescue also gives back to the community through programs serving at risk youth through our Equine Angels program and we are developing a program to honor our returning war veterans.

We believe a noble life deserves a second chance.

Our organization continues to grow and thrive due to the generous donations from our supporters and the countless hours worked by our dedicated volunteers.
