Safe Haven Horse Rescue is Here for Our Equine Friends

We are a group of people who care about horses and their quality of life. As a non-profit organization (501C-3 Corporation), we improve the lives of horses by providing a safe environment and teaching other people to provide safe environments as well. We offer the horses a life where there is trust and hope. We also participate in the removal of horses from neglectful and/or abusive situations. Through the efforts of Safe Haven Horse Rescue and Sanctuary, we care for the equine, by restoring health and well being and if possible placing them in loving, caring homes.

The facility is maintained through the donations of supporters, throughout the United States and Canada, and we encourage you to visit our Website and consider a donation or the "adoption" of one of happy tenents

History & Background

Linda Richards started Safe Haven in January of 1995. Linda would go to auctions and see mistreated and neglected horses. This broke her heart because she knew they deserved a better life including someone who would love them and care for them. That was the vision that brought Safe Haven to reality. She has been rescuing horses for since 1995 now and takes them in as space allows.
At the age of sixteen, Linda had a horse of her own. She became a veterinary technician and thought that she would always be able to live in harmony with "Sunny". As time went on she had to make the difficult decision to give up her horse. Luckily, she found someone who would not only love Sunny just as much as she did but also had enough time to spend with him. It was through that experience that Linda discovered there were other people going through the same predicament and she wanted to help them as her friend had helped her. This was the first hint that Linda had that she would be involved in horse rescue. Now, along with her volunteers, she finds time to feed and care for 20-25 horses.

This Blog will continue to be a Journal of progress in growing the Facility and give notice of New Guest and the progress of existing horse in our care and custody.
