Horse Harbor Foundation was founded in 1994 and incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization in 1996. Dedicated to the cause of proper horse care, we rehabilitate neglected, abused, or otherwise mistreated horses and offer consultation on issues of horse protection and intervention in situations of horse endangerment. To date, we have rescued over 50 horses. Our current and continuing herd of 20+ horses in permanent residence provides an opportunity for novices to gain hands-on experience with horse-related activities such as grooming, handling, mucking, and maintenance. We also offer riding lessons to people of all ages and abilities.

Funded by membership dues from its student riders, donations, grants and fees from various educational programs, the organization is managed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and is one of the few rescue facilities of its type that does not adopt out saved horses but instead provides ongoing care and keep for them so they may live out the rest of their lives in peace, comfort, and dignity.
