The only rescue organization you have listed for the State of Wyoming - Wyoming Horse Rescue is no longer in existence. You may wish to add our organization - Fair Dinkum Farm Equine Rescue, we are a reputable, 501 (c) (3) equine rescue with two locations in Wyoming. Thank you Catherine Petersen Executive Director Fair Dinkum Farm Equine Rescue Cody and Evansville, Wyoming http://www.FDFER.org http://www.wyominghorserescue.org
Excluding for-profit but equally wonderful equine rescues is kind of mean. Our rescue, Spirit of Hope Farm (http://spiritofhopefarm.tripod.com) is a for-profit equine shelter and rescue, though that is a serious misnomer since we SPENT (which means LOST in business terms) over 45k out of our own pocket last year on our rescue! To add to your list, Maine has several really good non-profit rescues including Open Gates Rescue in New Gloucester (www.opengatesequinerescue.org) and the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals in Windham.
I work around 10 hrs/wk at Grace Foundation (thegracefoundation.com), a 501(c)(3) horse rescue in Northern California with around 150 horses plus countless other animals. I absolutely love it, and I am in the process of adopting an OTTB. Rescue horses really should be given more consideration in the minds of anyone looking for a new horse.
Hello, I agree with your article. I volunteer for Appalachian Horse Help and Rescue located in Linden, PA. We see the problems with neglectful owners on a daily basis. Great info in your article as well. Most people say, a rescue horse, no way, there must be something wrong with it. We'll just go and breed our own. Well there are too many horses now, why bring another one into the world when we need to find homes for the ones that are already here! We currently have 9 horses at our facility and everyone needs a good home, the places that had them just didn't care about them. Please visit our website, http://www.ahhr911.iwarp.com We would be interested in being added to your list of horse rescues, we need to get the word out there and every little bit helps! Thank you!

I'd also like to say there is another WONDERFUL equine rescue organization called: People Helping Horses in Arlington, WA that should be up on this list. They are one of the only equine rescues in out county and do excelltent jobs with anything (or horse) that comes their way! I've already donated to them and hope many more will too!
The correct web address for the rescue Healing Hearts with Horses in Iowa is: http://healingheartswithhorses.info/Home.php. Great place! I adopted my mare from there.
There is a very fine farm in Montgomery Texas that does horse lfe tot he fullest. Horses from all breeds and ages find safety and a farm like life rolling pastures, socialized living, future forever homes and then there is resident life for many. This nonprofit org. is all volunteer and has been in operation since 2003. A certified techical large animal rescue is one of their many areas of expertise and focus. As a volunteer at this special farm I see peace and great Love of the horse expressed in so many ways. This farm needs to be listed if possible on your rescue lssting. How is this accomplished? Many Thanks Debbie
I would recommend Horses With Hope, in Hope, Maine. Highly focused on re-training, and not just placing animals to make room for more. They are on facebook as Horses With Hope.
