Why have this event?

This April 15th the SWFHR Rescue Facility turns 5 years old. Even though the founders started rescuing equines in 2010. It was April 15th, 2014 that SWFHR was awarded a grant by a private foundation and closed the deal on 14811 SR 31 in order to establish an equine rescue facility. Founders Tina, Matt and a host of dedicated volunteers over the years have been developing the facility that you will see. The horses always come first is one of our mottos. Get to know more about SWFHR.

This event is to celebrate the 5th year of operation for the SWFHR Rescue Facility.

We hope to see our local community and their families enjoy this event and leave with a smile on their face, a bit of knowledge behind what we do, and who we are. Maybe even a prize or two from our auctions and raffles.

Bring the family and out for a day in horse country! Proceeds from this event will go to the continued construction of our wonderful Rescue facility, to make this a safe and healthy environment for all of our rescued equines.
