General Tour
Tour South West Florida Horse Rescue
Our general tour is one of the most popular ways to visit us. Enjoy a golf-cart ride with one of our wonderful volunteer tour guides as they take you around the property to meet all of the horses who call SWFHR home.
What to Expect
During your visit, our team will guide you through the property, introduce you to our horses, and provide a meaningful look into the work we do. In the first section of the tour, we will give a brief history of SWFHR and explain some characteristics of the organization. In the last section, we will meet the horses and explain their conditions and reasons for the need to have been rescued.
SWFHR Tour FAQ
When you book a tour, your reservation covers one adult fee. We warmly welcome additional adults with a suggested minimum donation of $10 each. We are also pleased to offer FREE admission to children under 12 and military personnel (with a valid ID).
Additional adult fees plus donations will be collected at the END OF the TOUR by your guide.

We truly value your experience during our tours, which is why we limit our groups to a maximum of 5 guests, not including the driver.

Pam WebsterI had a volunteer tour of the SWFL Horse Rescue facility. Therese was very informative about the history of the volunteer and the horses in their care. You can tell from the volunteers working, the maintenance and condition of the facilities that the horses are all very well cared for. I’m excited to get back into my horse rescue volunteer work after my move to SWFL. If you are looking for a volunteer program and you have a love for horses, you must visit SWFL Horse Rescue in south Punta Gorda!Posted on Google
Regina BoVeeWe really enjoyed getting to know the history on the horses and their road to recovery. They do a great job caring for the horses.Posted on Google
Alicia AllenWent to this rescue today for a volunteer tour and it was such an amazing experience. Our guide knew everything there was to know about each one of the horses. They keep the stables and the paddocks were kept clean. They were getting ready to help a horse that was having an issue with their hoove, the gentleness of the men taking care of this horse was so heart warming. The horses love to see their caregivers coming and that speaks volumes. The care provided at this facility is absolutely incredible. I have scheduled my orientation and cannot wait to be part of their volunteer team! I highly recommend taking the time to either tour or volunteer at this rescue! Me and my husband had the most amazing time!Posted on Google

Thank you for giving me and my family a wonderful tour! The volunteers are very knowledgeable and passionate about the rescued horses---you can see they have developed a real bond with them. My hope is more people will visit, participate in their events or donate to them financially or in kind---especially for much needed veterinary services---to provide continued good care. Some horses are adoptable, but many are sanctuary, which means every dime counts for their nutritional and medical necessities.Posted on Google

Nancy BeckySWFHR is a magical place. Each horse base their own pasture cleaned daily, their own stable, also cleaned daily and every horse is cleaned every day. When a horse passes away, they are laid to rest on the ranch and there is a reflection area to sit and remember their lives. All the volunteers work extremely hard each day and care immensely for the horses. Matt and Tina have created a beautiful place for the horses to heal or just spend the rest of their life. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the family of volunteers.Posted on Google

lisa redpathMade an impromptu reservation to see the horses while on vacation in Ft Myers, FL. The three of us were driven around in an electric golf cart and shown all the horses that are being cared for at the ranch. Some of the horses have amazing recovery stories.
