We are a 501(c)3 public nonprofit charity organization for equine welfare in Ventura County, CA. We are one of the few organizations in southern CA that provides permanent sanctuary placement opportunities for senior equines above the age of 20 and equines with special needs. We focus on horse-human connection and strive to educate the public in responsible and savvy horse ownership for life. We are a certified Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) Horse Powered Reading Program providing experiential learning youth literacy programs to children in Ventura County, CA. We are a foster-based organization with horses fostered and privately boarded in Ventura, Riverside, and Los Angeles County. 80% of our horses come from the southern CA Animal Care / Control & Animal Services agencies that we partner with. We are accredited by the Homes For Horses Coalition, a national organization that sets the standards for high-quality equine rescue and sanctuary programs, and promotes equine welfare nationally and globally. Our organization is 100% nonprofit charity run by volunteerism alone. Over 80% of our operations are funded by charitable donations, and 20% by grants like MyGivingCircle. Your support makes it possible to continue saving lives and giving back to the community through Equine-Assisted Learning and Educational Outreach Programs.
