What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Nutritional Program
On average, due to overwhelming local need for the services that our organization provides, we accommodate 25-30 horses in varying stages of health. A majority of the horses have suffered from some degree of malnutrition and neglect at the hands of their owners—many are quite severe.
Medical Rehabilitation Program
Our Rehabilitation Program, which is based on nutritional protocol established by the University Of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, has proven to be effective in successfully rehabilitating even the most severe starvation case (a 1 on the Henneke Scale, a medical body-conditioning measure for equines). On the Henneke Scale, a “1” equates to an extremely emaciated body condition, a “walking skeleton.” The nutritional protocol that our facility implements provides the treatment necessary to return these abused animals back to a robust state of health, making it possible for them to be placed into new adoptive home environments that have been thoroughly vetted and properly educated by our staff as to proper animal care.
Volunteer Program
We utilized the rehabilitation, general care and retraining of abused and neglected horses as a learning tool to educate our youth, owners and prospective owners in responsible and compassionate animal stewardship. The ultimate goal being to reduce or eliminate the vast numbers of abused and neglected horses through education and awareness. The cornerstone of our education outreach mission is our Junior Volunteer program. Teaching our youngsters compassion for all animals, and educating them as to the weighty responsibilities that go hand in hand with animal ownership, is of vital importance to the battle against animal cruelty. To that end, we have junior volunteers (children ages 5-17) who join their parents and help with our daily barn chores.
