For the benefit of neglected horses, donkeys, and a mule

Habitat for Horses is a 501.c.3 nonprofit equine protection organization supported solely by donations and they have around 200 donkeys and horses under their care, plus one ornery, old mule.

Most of them are here because law enforcement removed them from their previous owner. Their ability to rehabilitate and rehome these equines comes from the financial support of people like you.

5 Ways you can help Habitat for Horses during the holidays:

1. The Horse at Home Book. A 100 pages of wonderful prose and beautiful photographs of the rescued horses at the HfH Ranch. Photographs by Skeeter Hagler and Kathy Oliver. Cost $150 – all proceeds will go to the Greener Pastures Land Fund for Habitat for Horses.
2. Give a Horse a Home for Christmas. From November 1st, 2013 through December 31, 2013 you can bring a horse (or a donkey!) home to foster them for Christmas…if you wish to adopt them, your price will only be the application fee of $35. You will need to pass a background check and property inspection as well as sign a foster agreement. You will need to be able to come out to the ranch in SE Texas to visit the horses. By January 5th you will need to fill out an adoption application, if you wish to keep the horse. Only the horses listed on our official Give a Horse A Home for Christmas page are available.
3. “Until They Are Safe” Bracelets are a very popular item. Each stainless steel bracelet is engraved with the words: “Until They Are Safe”, beneath that quote is a description of a horse that was needlessly slaughtered. Your purchase goes towards making that goal come true.$15 each includes shipping. Some items may not be listed on the online store (t-shirts are such a hot commodity that we do not have them on there!) – so please call us to see what else is available – 866 434 5737
4. You can make a donation to honor a loved one or out of the goodness of your heart. Your donations go towards the care and rehabilitation of horses rescued from abuse or death. As well as towards educational programs that benefit both the horses and the community as a whole. Learn more about donations by clicking here
5. Another wonderful gift is the gift of volunteering. The moments spent helping a rescued horse, are moments that will last a lifetime in your memories.
