Horse Sanctuaries provide safe and caring homes for horses that have been abused, abandoned, about to be destroyed, or owners can no longer care for them. These organizations provide a natural and stimulating environment for Mustangs to relearn their freedom and independence, while others care for and prepare domestic horses and some Mustangs for adoption to a new loving and caring home.
Rather than allow horses to go to slaughter or be destroyed, these organizations provide rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and retirement for horses from many different situations of abuse and neglect. If a horse cannot be rehabilitated for adoption due to illness, old age, injury or social behavior, they are retired to live out the rest of their days in a happy and healthy environment.
Most sanctuaries are non-profit and are tax-exempt, and are solely supported by contributions from individuals.

One of the largest facilities in the Northeast, there are over 100 horses in residence in our magical mountain home, located three hours and a world away from New York City.
“Sanctuary” is the primary essential quality offered to every equine welcomed, in addition to comprehensive medical care, daily interaction with humans, basic gentling for safety, and detailed attention to each one’s health and happiness. These equines are rescued from slaughter, abuse, neglect or homelessness after the death of an owner. Any horse, regardless of background or breed, can find itself in need and Rosemary Farm is home to Mustangs, Percherons, Standardbreds, Thoroughbreds, Gypsys, minis, mules and more. A select few are adopted, if it is the right direction for the equine, and under strict terms of contract.
Verified by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, Rosemary Farm prides itself on quality, ethical, long-term care. Approximately one-third of the residents have enjoyed over a decade of quality life here. Compassion is a guiding principle as each life is nurtured, valued, and loved.
At Rosemary Farm, horses live in dynamic natural environments, in herd groups, creating vital family bonds that are honored and protected, and providing visitors a rare opportunity to see large bands of horses running free across a mountain.
Rosemary Farm Sanctuary is ‘Where horses get to be horses’.
