THE HORSE PROJECT

PEOPLE HEALING HORSES. HORSES HEALING PEOPLE.

ABOUT

The Horse Project rehabilitates, re-trains ,and re-homes

rescued horses who have been abandoned, abused and neglected.

We work to prepare rescued horses for new and caring homes that best suit their individual skills, talents, and potential. We are an all-volunteer group partnering with professionals for the horse's health, conditioning, and ground and under saddle training.

The Horse Project offers experiences for people that promote the therapeutic horse-human connection and educate people about these amazing animals.

Located in Santa Barbara, California, The Horse Project operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Players Philanthropy Fund,

a nonprofit 501c (3) organization.
