Horse Adoption & Rescue - Horse Directories

A 501 (c)(3) non-profit, dedicated to helping down on their luck horses. Advocate for Wild Mustangs, and protect open spaces and the environment for all.

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and place horses,specifically Arabians, who have been neglected, abused or are unwanted, or where life situations change drastically, in permanent, loving, responsible forever homes.

Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary is dedicated to saving Premarin (PMU) mares and foals from slaughter. We are a voice for the many horses that cannot speak for themselves, working to end their senseless slaughter for overseas markets. Through education, we are confident we can enlighten the public about the horrors behind the premarin industry and horse slaughter, and be a catalyst for change so these noble animals may finally live a life without abuse, pain and suffering.

Our horses have come to Horses of Tir Na Nog from a variety of sources. Several were PMU foals/mares from Canada, one is a BLM mustang, others were riding horses, and one was a racehorse. All of our horses serve the important role of “ambassadors,” regardless of their ability to be ridden. We invite you to meet our herd here on our WEB Site. Some of their stories will tug at your heart strings. As you get to know our herd, we hope that you will join us in celebrating the unique qualities of each horse. It is the special character of each member of our herd that motivates us on a daily basis.

The need to find homes for horses retiring off the race track is great. After The Homestretch-Arizona was formed to fill this niche. From the idea to the reality happened in a very short time span. Nine people expressed a desire to form a Board. We applied to the State of Arizona to become a non-profit corporation and received approval July 25, 2011. Our first Board meeting was held on August 25, 2011 and we immediately applied to the IRS for our 501(c)(3) status. Within three weeks we received our IRS Determination Letter (September 15, 2011). In October we began rescuing horses who had retired from the track.

It all began with a horse, a child and a dream. It was a sweltering summer day in July 2010 when 10-year-old Marcus climbed atop Gabe, the former party pony adopted by Hope Reins to serve as the first official ‘equine counselor.’ The red-haired foster boy wore a broad smile and sat upright as his counselor led Gabe around the pasture – unaware that he was the first of many more hurting kids that would enter the gates of this special place.

Yes, Kim Tschirret had a dream. The Raleigh mom of two and former marketing executive with Thomas the Tank Engine had recently read a remarkable book that not only touched her heart deeply but evoked a sense of personal purpose – a passionate mission she later could only attribute to God’s artful plan.

“Hope Rising” was the book – and its author, Kim Meeder, chronicled heart wrenching stories of abused horses she and her husband, Troy, rescued and the hurting kids who began to find hope and healing themselves while helping care for the extraordinary horses. The Oregon couple witnessed the natural connection between emotionally and physically wounded kids and horses – and embarked on an amazing journey by founding Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, which today is home to dozens of horses and has served thousands of kids and families.
