Beauty's Haven Farm & Equine Rescue, Inc. is a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit equine rescue organization. Our mission includes helping equine in need, educating others about proper equine care, providing assistance when possible to horse owners experiencing a short period of financial hardship, and providing information regarding the steps that must be taken when one encounters an equine that is being abused or neglected. We try to involve the youth of today as they will be the horse owners of tomorrow. Through our helping horses, we hope to help people too! It's important to raise public awareness about the standards of care that are necessary to keep horses safe and healthy.
At Beauty’s Haven, horses that have been neglected, abused, and/or abandoned are given a second chance at life, a life without pain and worry, a life with dignity and respect. We welcome horses that are no longer needed, wanted or are useful to their owners and we place them in loving, forever homes. We do not believe that horses are ‘unwanted,’ but rather that they are merely, ‘misplaced.’ Working together with other organizations, we try to find placement for as many equines as possible before they end up in the slaughter pipeline where they would be at a high risk of being sold to kill buyers, then trucked across the borders where they would be brutally slaughtered for human consumption.
Beauty’s Haven offers sanctuary to a limited number of horses with special needs regardless of age or breed. We have taken in babies as young as two hours old, pregnant mares and senior horses - our oldest rescue was 43 years old! We oftentimes accept equines into our program that other rescues may refuse, due to the time consuming and/or costly rehabilitation needs of the horse. Quality of life is always a factor in determining the future of each horse. We are pro-life and we do not euthanize any equine to make room for another.
Beauty’s Haven has an excellent care team that includes professionals in both traditional and holistic medicine, dentistry and equine podiatry. A horse will be humanely euthanized, however, when they appear to be experiencing more pain than pleasure, are terminally ill or critically injured and all courses of treatment have been thoroughly explored. We will never permit an animal to suffer. We have taken in horses with birth defects, broken bones, mutilations, cancer, blindness, COPD and Cushing’s disease as well as those that were starved and extremely emaciated and had other serious diseases. On occasion, we also rescue other animals in need such as dogs, cats, pigs, birds, and goats. |
