Horse adoption and rescue organizations offer horses a second chance by taking in unwanted and, abused horses and some of them are rescued from slaughter auction houses. These horses are then rehabilitated and are available for adoption to and qualified, caring homes. Most of these organizations are run by volunteers with the dedication and compassion for our equine friends.
Most horse rescue organizations are non-profit and are tax-exempt, and are solely supported by contributions from individuals.

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.

Unconditional Love Foundation was founded in Tucson, AZ in 1998, after it’s founder, Yvette Spillman, got an eye-opening introduction into the horrific world of abusive puppy mills. Beginning with dog rescue, at first, the charity was soon able to expand to horse rescue. To date, ULF Rescue has saved over 2000 animals, but that’s not nearly enough…we need your help to expand and grow.
Unconditional Love Foundation, now relocated to Murrieta, CA, is a non -profit, federally registered 501©3 organization, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of horses and dogs in need. ULF also seeks to host therapeutic programs for women & children, as well as educational outreach to improve the treatment of animals.
Our desired projects require expansion. We seek to raise funds to purchase and build out a 20-acre property we have located near us, in Murrieta, CA, with possible expansion to the surrounding properties.
