THE HORSE PROJECT
PEOPLE HELPING HORSES. HORSES HELPING PEOPLE.
ABOUT
The Horse Project is about people helping horses and horses helping people.
We rehabilitate, re-train, and re-home rescued horses
who have been abandoned, abused and neglected. For over ten years
we have worked to prepare rescued horses for new and caring homes
that best suit their individual skills, talents, and potential,
and given sanctuary to those in need.
Now the horses are helping people in our Better With Horses programs.
Better With Horses offers a solution-based path to positive, long-lasting change. The goal is simple - to feel better, live better, communicate better and work together better.
We also offer experiences like Play With Rescued that promote the therapeutic horse-human connection and educate people
about these amazing animals.
We are an all-volunteer group partnering with professionals
in Better With Horses, providing for the horse' health, conditioning, and
ground and under saddle training.
Located in Santa Barbara, California, The Horse Project, a California nonprofit operates under the 501(c)3 fiscal sponsorship of
Players Philanthropy Fund. All donations are tax deductible
to the full extent of the law.

Thank you so much for considering joining Savannah's Circle—a community built on hope, healing, and compassion.
Your generosity gives Savannah, and horses like her, the opportunity to heal and thrive—safe, loved, and surrounded by people who believe every horse deserves to live with peace, dignity, and kindness.
We don't have to teach rescued horses about trauma—they have lived it.
Savannah's story is one of extraordinary resilience where the past does not define the future. She represents every rescued horse given the chance to heal, trust again, and live well with purpose and meaning. Her journey reminds us of the remarkable power of compassion, community, and hope—where people help horses, and horses help people.
In her honor, we created Savannah's Circle, a lasting legacy that supports the healing of horses recovering from physical, emotional, and mental trauma. Your monthly gift helps provide hay, feed, supplements, farrier care, medications, veterinary services, and other essential healthcare, while also supporting the daily operations that make their care and recovery possible.
Your commitment is more than a donation—it is a powerful vote of confidence in this mission and the lives being transformed through it.
Please consider helping us keep that promise by joining Savannah’s Circle of supporters with the promise of an annual donation for her care. There’s so much we’d like to do to help her heal.
