ABOUT USThe mission of Orphan Acres Equine, Rehabilitation, and Sanctuary, Inc. is to provide care and rehabilitation for abandoned, neglected, abused, and malnourished horses, while educating the public regarding the issues surrounding rescue and rehabilitation including all aspects of horse ownership and care.
Since our inception we have found homes for over 3000 animals. All work with the animals is done by volunteers. We are a 100% volunteer operation with no paid staff.
Where our animals are from, how they arrive at the farm, the length of their stay, and where they go when they are ready to leave, depends upon a variety of factors. Horses come to us from across the nation, Vermont to South Carolina, California to our own Northwestern states of Montana, Washington, Wyoming, Oregon and Idaho. Many come from places where the owners were either unwilling or unable to provide proper care.
They often arrive starved, in need of medical attention and otherwise neglected. These horses require a lot of love and a lot of food before they are back in condition fit enough to be adopted or placed in a new home. In cases where an animal is too old or has too many problems to be safely adopted out, she/he then becomes a member of the Orphan Acres permanent herd.
