It is committed to raising funds to support the rescued horses in its care and will pursue the acquisition of grants, gifts, bequests and donations to support the organization. It is a no-kill rescue striving to promote the humane treatment and to strengthen the bond between horses and people through the education. Its goal is to properly unite humans and horses in a safe environment, using accepted methods to preserve the best equine care through informative and instructional guidance, education and administration adhering to the understanding of the need for the preservation of rural equine communities. It is not breed-specific and promises each of its horses will never again know the abuse, neglect, abandonment or other injury that brought them to the facilities. Sponsor and vendor opportunities are still available.
