Mission Statement

Chance's Miniature Horse Rescue is a not for profit organization dedicated to the well-being of all miniature horses.

Our goal is to rehabilitate abused, neglected, or unwanted miniature horses through the charitable works of our members, sponsors, foster and adoptive homes.

Surrendered miniature horses will be accepted without judgment. CMHR seeks to better the lives of all miniature horses through the constant promotion and education of responsible miniature horse ownership and breeding practices.

"Helping Hearts Equine Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit animal welfare organization incorporated in the State of New Jersey. We are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of equines in need; assisting equines in situations of neglect, abuse or threat of slaughter located in, but not necessarily limited to Monmouth, Middlesex and Ocean Counties - in our home state of New Jersey. To educate the public regarding the standards of care required to maintain an equine as a riding partner and/or companion animal in a humane manner."

Our Goals:

(1) Accept into our program equines in need;

(2) Assist in the placement of equines under the care of private owners who can no longer maintain them;

(3) Provide necessary management, veterinary and farrier care for those equines under our protection;

(4) Rehabilitate and adopt out equines to suitable homes as sport-horse prospects; pleasure riding prospects or as retirement/companion animals;

(5) Obtain sponsorships for those equines who maintain a permanent residency within the auspices of our organization;

(6) To provide all animals under our care with a comfortable and dignified existence without pain or suffering. If and when physical and medical circumstances no longer allow that comfortable life; to let them go gently and kindly with a humane veterinary-assisted euthanasia.

Our Mission Statement

With finely trained volunteers, we promise to rescue neglected, abused and unwanted horses and provide them sanctuary through rehabilitation, retraining and then adoption for some to approved homes. With equine assisted therapies, we strive to educate the public about how we can provide a special link between rescued horses and the dignified treatment of all children and adults with emotional, behavioral, social, mental, physical and/or spiritual needs. At any given time, as humans help the horses, the horses help the humans.

What We Do

HorseSisters is many things...

1) An equine sanctuary for abused and neglected horses, with draft horses and "service horses" our specialty - which with natural horsemanship retraining, we give trust and love again to these damaged horses and adopt them to carefully screened homes.

2) A therapeutic riding and driving center. Through our gentle training and retraining and desensitizing techniques, some of these wonderful horses show us they can provide therapeutic riding and driving for our disabled children and adult clients. H.E.A.T. - HorseSisters Equine Assisted Therapy, can bring our therapy horses right to your location. Clairese wrote the proposals to the Brevard County School Board and Parrish Medical Foundation to BEGIN the Equine Therapy Program at Oak Park Elementary in Titusville, Florida.

3) A place for horse lovers to safely learn natural horsemanship. We have instructors and assistants certified in Western & English with C.H.A. - the Certified Horsemanship Association, and specifically two wonderfully certified with CHA as IRD's, or Instructors for Riders with Disabilities. We have three Equine Special Olympic coaches, ready to help ALL riders excel in all areas of riding, driving and showing. We offer lessons for able-bodied riders from age 6 and beyond. We specialize in helping former riders back in the saddle again. Since we have draft horses and draft horse crosses, we have NO weight limit, allowing us to specialize in helping heavyweight riders. We embrace and practice natural horsemanship training with all our horses and freely teach our volunteers these techniques, offering clinics and training sessions for the public. We also have well known clinicians that visit to provide free training for us and provide clinics for everyone.

4) The only non-profit horse drawn carriage business in Brevard County and all of Florida. People from all over the state have hired us and we have donated horse drawn services with our carriages, hay wagons, surrey with "the fringe on top", our carts and Dignity Memorial / Florida Memorial's caisson for burial services. These services allow us to take care of our programs.

We are a 501(c)(3) public charitable organization. Your donations to NEFCAS are tax deductible! All monies received go towards the wellbeing of the animals.

Some of our horses here would have been put down due to their inability to continue to provide entertainment to some human. Some are so emotionally scarred from previous owners' abuse that they are here to simply live out their lives in peace, knowing they are safe.

Some of the dogs and cats were dropped off here anonymously and some were picked up from the area dumps where their owners left them. Of course, one or two were pregnant upon arrival and gave me litters soon after settling in. All dogs and cats are spayed and neutered and given sanctuary for life.

Started in '05...New England Equine Rescues (NEER) is a growing 501(c)3 non profit organization that networks horse people all over the New England region. NEER is dedicated to helping all horses (we especially love the old and unwanted) in any way, including direct intervention for abused or slaughter-bound equines, effective horse placement, fundraising, and active support of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. NEER needs good homes, foster homes, volunteers, transport, advice, referrals, and as much support as we can to help stop the abuse, neglect, and slaughter of horses. There is no one facility, no one rescue, but a large NETWORK of people ranging from an extra stall to larger non profit organizations. We welcome all horse people, location is not important. The more people, the better the network. NEER is 100% volunteer...nobody is paid.

* NEER does NOT sell ANY horses.

*NEER retains ownership of ALL of it's horses.

*NEER does NOT promote any breeding.

*NEER deplores the breeding of rescues.

*NEER has NO paid members.

Ridin’ High, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization offering recreational and therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with disabilities. Ridin’ High is affiliated with NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped Association).

For individuals with impaired mobility,
horseback riding gently and rhythmically
moves their bodies in a manner similar to a human walking gait.
In addition to the physical benefits of riding a horse,
our lessons are designed to help riders mentally focus --
to practice using their concentration
in ways that very often do not come naturally to them.
And, because our horses are the partners
providing the opportunity to experience the benefits of riding,
we also emphasize horsemanship skills with every student.

Volunteers are the key to safe riding for our students!
In addition to an instructor,
many riders require THREE volunteers --
one to lead the horse and two people to “side walk”.
Without our wonderful volunteers,
this type of program would not be possible.

Ridin High, Inc. serves Hamblen and the surrounding counties.

* RVHR shall provide shelter, food, daily care, medical treatment, rehabilitation, adoption and foster services for horses in need because they have been abandoned, neglected and/or are in need of a new home.

* RVHR shall obtain legal ownership of donated horses accepted into our guardianship, with the goal to place these horses into caring and suitable adoptive homes.

* RVHR will search for the loving and caring placement families for these horses who deserve to have a second chance that come into our custody.

* RVHR shall serve as a shelter and provide care for legally impounded horses. As legal action is being taken by the State Veterinarian, local and other authorities because of maltreatment by the horses owner.

* RVHR shall assist others in the education on equine care and handling to the best of our abilities with the hopes to prevent the abuse of an equine due to negligence and ignorance within our community.

* Owners who wish to relinquish ownership to our rescue may do so knowing that we will follow that equine for the rest of its life. Many of these donated horses are healthy and are merely in need of a new adoptive family. We are an alternative to Auctions.

"At the end of his life he should be retired, adopted, or humanely euthanized if no better solution can be found. Anything else makes a mockery of the words which for centuries have been used to describe our game...Sport of Kings."

Each year many Saddlebreds will be sold through various means. The well-meaning owner often believes that their horse is headed to a loving new home. Although, this is true in most cases, a frightening number of Saddlebreds and Morgans end up on trucks slaughter bound to Canada and Mexico. Any horse is fair game for slaughterhouses: foals, pregnant mares, pleasure and show horses. With processed horse meat bringing over $50 a pound there is a huge market.

Our goal is to make a difference by educating the public, our youth, the horse industry, and the animal protection network who is becoming more involved in the prevention of cruelty to horses, providing alternatives/services to the dealers and auction houses, and the rehabilitation and re-homing of rescues. Saddlebred Rescue assists in the placement and care of rescues, the abused and neglected from animal law enforcement agencies, and privately owned Saddlebreds, Hackneys, and Morgans.

We are starting programs to help ensure future generations know about our wonderful breed and all they can do. Programs include "Kids Care", where youth groups are encouraged to support our efforts and learn to take care of their horses as well as "The Pegasus Project", which will enable the rescues to teach those in need how to drive.

Various locations will be established around the country where rescues will be utilized to help people enjoy and learn from them. Those in need may include families of those serving the USA overseas, mentally or physically abuse or handicapped. We believe every Saddlebred, Morgan, and Hackney deserves a safe and caring home to live out its life. Saddlebred Rescue, Inc. does not pass judgment on any person or sect of people. We are here to help the horses. We understand the need for people to buy and sell horses and realize not all horses are suitable for riding or driving and not all people can afford to maintain them as companion horses. We are here to offer an alternative and strongly encourage all sellers to keep registration papers with the horse.

We are a licensed animal shelter with the state of Illinois. We provide a loving and caring environment for rescued, surrendered, abandoned and abused horses and dogs until they are adopted. We are not people looking for glory. We are not people with lots of money in need of a hobby. We are here to help those in need and can really see from the grassroots level what is needed.

Our mission is to provide rescue and a sanctuary for abused, injured, or homeless horses; to utilize these horses in therapeutic programs assisting low income, at-risk youths; and to deepen the natural bond between humans and horses through state-of-the-art educational programs.

Our educational programs and outreach are a great way to involve children, parents, school groups and volunteers with the horses at our rescue. We offer multiple programs such as camps, day programs, volunteer outreach, monthly clinics and conservation programs. Please email us for more information.

Our mission is to save, protect, and rehabilitate equines in need. We rescue abused, neglected, or abandoned equines; provide them with care and rehabilitation; and finally find them a compatible, loving home. We believe that education is the long-term solution to improving the lives of equines.
