THE HORSE PROJECT
Rescue. Rehabilitate. Rehome.
ABOUT

The Horse Project rehabilitates, re-trains and re-homes
rescued horses who have been abandoned, abused and neglected.
​
The Horse Project works to ready 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.
