California - Horse Directories

Tranquility Farm accepts the donation of Thoroughbred horses from the racetrack and breeding farm, and our goal is to give each horse their best opportunity to find an adoptive home. For those who are not readily adoptable we offer comfortable retirement whenever possible, prioritizing horses that have been significant competitors or producers. Tranquility Farm requests, but does not require, that owners contribute sponsorship to help defray the costs of rehabilitation and retraining. No horse is denied acceptance into Tranquility Farm based upon his owner?s financial contribution.

J.A.M.E.S. was founded with one purpose in mind – to rescue and provide a safe house for horses in need. We are not breed specific and will accept all equines, regardless of breed, age or condition. Our belief is that every horse deserves a life with proper care, whether it be with J.A.M.E.S. as a retired or companion horse or being placed with a caring, responsible adoptive family.

Spirit to be Free is a non-profit animal sanctuary that rescues and rehabs dogs, horses, pigs, cats, goats, and sheep. Most of the animals are strays or abandoned.

We’re a non-profit 501(c)3 located in Rancho Santa Fe, California and are dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating sick, abused, and abandoned horses of any breed. 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 to fall in love with them as we have.

Our primary mission is to rescue horses that have been abandoned or abused and to find new owners committed to providing them with a loving, caring environment. Our extended mission is to provide un-adoptable horses a natural setting in which to live during their remaining days and to introduce various groups of people to the fascinating culture of the horse.
