Humanity for Horses has been rescuing horses and other animals from slaughter, abuse, neglect and abandonment since 2012. Through the highest quality of medical and emotional attention, we provide those in our care with life-long sanctuary and allow them to live out their lives in dignity. We also provide educational programs for children and the elderly by sharing the hope and grace these animals embody. Our mission is to rescue Mustangs, Thoroughbreds, as well as other breeds of horses and animals. Most of the animals in our care have experienced some level of severe abuse and neglect and many were in line to be slaughtered. We are a life-long sanctuary for all the animals in our care. Horses have attended to mankind for millennia. We believe it is time for humanity to return the service.
