Horse Directories

Equine Encore Foundation is a non-profit (501) (c) (3) corporation whose mission is to provide a retirement home for racehorses, both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses, who have served the industry well but whose racing careers have come to an end and who deserve to hang up their racing plates and bask in the Arizona sun. As with all rescue operations, the major challenge is funding. We receive support from the industry with our major supporters being CARMA, Thoroughbred Charities of America, Second Call of Turf Paradise in Phoenix, AZ, The Arizona Racing Commission, the Arizona Quarter Racing Association and the Pima County Horsemen’s Association. Support also comes from grateful racehorse owners and fans of the sport. We are working to establish a “social security” system for all racehorses through the racetracks but this is a difficult task. We are hopeful that horse lovers in general and racehorse lovers specifically will help us with their tax-deductible donations. Donations can be made online or mailed directly to us.

Since our inception Serenity has helped support and rescue over 114 horses! Our foremost goal is to help rehabilitate, care for and place our rescued horses into loving homes. We are passionate about providing a natural and focused care plan for each of our resident equines.

Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue is a 501(c)(3) Tax Deductible Non-Profit organization. All of our horses are rescued from auctions where we are their last chance before being sold to slaughter.

Miracle Horse Rescue & Sanctuary is a 501 (C) 3 non-profit organization established in 2001 which is dedicated to the preservation and welfare of abused, neglected and unwanted horses of all types and conditions. It is the mission of Miracle Horse Rescue to rehabilitate each horse to the best of it’s ability and locate forever homes utilizing the adoption program established for the sole protection and welfare of the horse.

Lifetime Equine Refuge is dedicated to saving lives and providing a second chance to horses in need. We strive to provide protection from cruelty for all equine breeds through rescue, sanctuary, adoption, foster, equine assisted learning and humane education.
