Horse Directories

Strawberry Mountain was founded in 2005 after rescuing dozens of wild horses from the Sheldon National Antelope Refuge in Nevada. These incredible animals were slipping through a government loophole and being sent to slaughter by the semi load. A passion was born and still burns brightly today.

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.

The mission of Orphan Acres Equine, Rehabilitation, and Sanctuary, Inc. is to provide care and rehabilitation for abandoned, neglected, abused, and malnourished horses, while educating the public regarding the issues surrounding rescue and rehabilitation including all aspects of horse ownership and care.

We’re a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation located in Rancho Santa Fe, California and are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and placing all breeds of sick abused, abandoned and slaughter-bound equine; including wild horses and mustangs, ponies and donkeys. All horses pictured on this website have been rescued or were born of a rescued horse. We want you to see these majestic animals and fall in love with them as we have.
