Mission & Vision

Founding Principles

To not chase numbers but rather focus on quality.
To refrain from following the typical molds and be different.
To not use donor funds for employee costs unless they are derived via a grant allocated for employees.
To not seek media attention unless they come to us.  Let our worth be our advertisement.
To not cold call or panhandle/beg for donations.  Offer a chance at something in return.

Mission

Dedicated to saving the lives of our local horses from abuse, neglect, and slaughter; by providing the best vet, farrier, and feed to bring these horses back to health in a safe and positive environment. With the community in mind, we strive to gain an excellent standing with all we come in contact with. Finding “forever homes” for these horses is our priority.

Vision

Our Core Values

Compassion:

No matter the situation we will always carry compassion toward equines. There will never be a day where any equine is mishandled.

Commitment:

To the Equines and our Community. We are in this for the long haul.

Advocacy:

Speaking up and out for those who don’t have a voice, pushing leaders and lawmakers for change, teaching people the effects of improper care and handling, and much more. It comes in many forms but is very close to our hearts.

Focus

Southwest Florida is the geographic area we focus heavily on but that doesn’t mean we won’t help outside of our geographic area if we can. With that said, the situations that require our services of rescue & rehabilitation of equines as a horse rescue are focused on those equines that don’t already have a capable human owner involved. More simply stated, we focus on equines involved in authority seizure and grave owner surrender situations. We do our best to assist in any situation.

Motto

Horse before human.
