It was April 15th, 2014 that SWFHR (founded 2010) was able to purchase a property, in order to develop an equine rescue facility. All of which was made possible by a grant from a private foundation. The owners 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 our motto. Most do not know the vast cost of running an organization of this size, nor do they truly know how we fund our daily operations. Read more about us, to truly know more about us.
This event is primarily to celebrate the 4th year of operation here at the new SWFHR 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.
