We Speak Up for Horses bound for slaughter and those neglected, abused, or discarded by rescuing and rehoming these horses. We also educate the public about horse slaughter, horse welfare laws, and what it means to be a responsible horse owner.

We are addressing any type of horse abuse and neglect. We fight to end horse slaughter and the soring of Tennessee Walking Horses. We want to stop the round ups of our wild horses.

We rehabilitate these horses and prepare them to be adopted into forever homes. Please review to our adoption contract for specific information.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We Speak Up for Horses bound for slaughter and those neglected, abused, or discarded by rescuing and rehoming these horses. We also educate the public about horse slaughter, horse welfare laws, and what it means to be a responsible horse owner. Our work is driven by the belief that education seeds compassion, a life-long commitment to our horses and a respect for all life.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We are offering training to local law enforcement and animal control officers to apply animal welfare laws when addressing neglect of horses as well as educating in the field of recognizing neglect/abuse situations.
When funds and space allows, we take in neglect cases and/or horses in danger to go to slaughter. Once in our possession we assure that these horses are rehabilitated and trained to become adoptable.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our facility has stalls for a total of 24 horses as well as pastures for a total of 32 acres.
We have the use of another facility with a run-in barn and attached large pastures for horses which are in healthy conditions.
We employ a local equine vet who can be reached day and night and is only a few miles away from our facility.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have grown from a six horse barn to a farm on 32 acres with a total of 24 stalls and an indoor arena.
We have been able to replace all the fencing, add a hay barn and improve the facility in general.
We are hoping to expand at some point in the future by opening another facility close to Louisville, KY.
