Care For The Horses, Inc.

Care For The Horses (CFH) is a non-profit 501 (c) organization dedicated to rescuing horses who have been abused or neglected and finding them an adoptive owner who is eager to give them a good home. Help is also available for owners who need short-term assistance with the cost of feed or veterinary care through our Feed and Veterinary Assistance Program This program was founded in 2002 and to date has helped almost 300 horses get healthy and find new loving homes.

Every horse in our program has a story. Rocky had neck and hoof injuries. One-Eyed Jack lost an injured eye that was not properly cared for. Like many horses who come into our program, both Rocky and One-Eyed Jack were also in a severe state of starvation. In such cases special attention is given to providing nutritional requirements needed to bring the horse back to good health. Depending on the case, this could take weeks or months. Once a horse is healthy again, we evaluate it to determine its ride-ability and temperament so that we can match it to the right home for permanent placement. Since horses are herd animals we do not place horses in a home where they would be an only horse. There are times however, that we may have a horse that would be better placed in an only horse situation and that is noted on the write-up for that horse. We are rewarded for our efforts every time a sick horse becomes healthy, a starving horse becomes nourished, and an abused horse learns to trust. For us, that is thanks enough.
