Horse Adoption & Rescue - Horse Directories

Godspeed Horse Hostel Inc is a not for profit 501c3 horse rescue founded in 2004. Since its founding, we have rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of animals and expanded our scope to include all animals. Our local resources available include a hay bank, pet food pantry, and supplies for wildlife rehabilitators…….all still free within our service area.

In addition, Animal Welfare Outreach and Education has become our recent initiative to aid your efforts to assist animals. We have provided you with the very best and current information, contacts and consulting organizations for help with humane education, animal cruelty reporting, animal law enforcement, and lobbying and legislation for animals.

Either through Godspeed Horse Hostel or Animal Outreach and Education, we are out in the field everyday to provide both hands-on and educational services to protect animals and prevent cruelty. We appreciate everything you are doing for animals and are here to assist and advise.

We are dedicated to equine welfare. Our mission is to develop a network of resources throughout our communities to assist struggling owners and their horses. We strive to compliment the efforts of equine rescue groups, equine sanctuaries and animal control agencies. By uniting our efforts, we hope to raise awareness and address challenges in our equine communities.

Horse ReCourse started because we have found a need for assistance to rehome unwanted horses in Mendocino County. Horses are frequently abandoned or neglected because there is no place for them to go if their owners are no longer able to care for them. Horse Care, even minimal, can be expensive to maintain, and out of reach for many people. Quality care for horses requires many resources, including financial stability, education, and access to professional support, such as veterinary and farrier care. It can be challenging for people to meet the needs of horses in their care for a variety of reasons, and it is always the animal that suffers.

While Horse ReCourse was formally established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2022, its founder and director Robyn has been rescuing, rehabilitating, and responsibly rehoming horses in Mendocino County for many years.

Meet both our current rescues as well as some of the several horses whose lives have been impacted over the years. Horse ReCourse is looking forward to featuring many more success stories.
