Canham Farm Horse Rescue Inc

Our goals are:

To retrain horses to have a useful and respected life
To ensure the horse is matched correctly with his or her new sponsor/owner.
To give ongoing support and advice on all aspects of equine care and re-settlement.
To support and commit to the welfare of all horses
To end abuse, neglect, slaughter and suffering of all horses
To advocate for the nations wild horses and keeping them safe on public lands
To provide education and training courses for people wanting to learn about keeping, training and rehabilitating horse

Our rescue takes in horses that through no fault of their own have become unwanted, neglected or captured. Through our re-education program horses are given a second chance and given the opportunity to be adopted into a loving home.

In addition to our rescue work we promote the facts on the slow removal of one of America’s great Living Legends, the American Wild Horse Herds and Mustangs.

Through education programs we encourage people to journey toward understanding how this came about and how this should and can be stopped by beginning at the beginning of this horrific tale of inhumane treatment of animals, how the BLM captures wild horses on a regular basis and keeps the “unadoptable horses” in cramped holding pens often run by non-government agencies. Many of these horses are 10 years or older yet still have another 10 -15 years of life left. Free no more, most stay in these Long Term Holding Facilities until the day they die instead of living out their lives on the American West’s Range Lands where they belong.

We strive to be:
Realistic in our approach, focusing on the practical to achieve what is possible now while mindful of the future
Compassionate in our attitudes, behavior and decision-making
Forward-thinking in anticipating challenge and change, always seeking new ways of being more effective

Through our volunteer staff we are able to educate the general public about the plight of horses through horsemanship education, rescue visits, press and media, social media. We are a small non-profit and as such our capabilities rely on the generosity of our donors. We offer several educational classes including Understanding Horse Behavior, Wild Horse History, Horses for Therapy.

We have rescued over 15 horses in our short existence. Re-trained and adopted out 10 of those.
We have a following of 1,600 people, many of whom knew nothing about the atrocities horses faced before education
We teach people how to interact with horses, spreading the word about gentle methods used in training

Our plan is to expand our public outreach and focus more on the wild horse situation in the United States and worldwide.
