our mission

We are a community-based non-profit in Southern California, working locally with equine welfare activities and enthusiasts. We provide sanctuary to local senior equines in need, while creating educational and outreach programs that connect our community through purpose and service.

Many of our horses are seniors and horses with special needs. Thanks to your support, over the past nine years we have rescued over 60 horses; 90% on euthanasia deadline in the county shelter programs.

​We are well trusted, respected and collaborative with others in the Safe Stalls Network. We are very proud of our professionalism, reputation and accomplishments, and the difference we make for those horses that need it most in our own backyard.

We serve as a member of the Humane Society of the United States Safe Stalls Network Program, The Homes for Horses Coalition and the ASPCA Horse Action Team. We also serve as an Adoptions Partner with the Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Bernardino County Departments of Animal Services and Animal Care & Control.
