Days End Farm Horse Rescue
Days End Farm Horse Rescue, Inc. is a 501 c3, volunteer based, animal welfare organization established in 1989 to ensure quality care and treatment of horses through rehabilitation, humane education and community outreach.
Since it’s beginning in 1989, Days End Farm Horse Rescue, Inc. has been a place where children and adults have found enrichment, satisfaction, sadness and purpose through helping to provide care for unwanted, abused or neglected horses. Since it’s inception, DEFHR has gone from a small non-profit sheltering only a few horses annually, to a full scale and well respected rescue and rehabilitation facility housing on average 50 – 60 horses at any one point in time. Its budget, and corresponding donations, has grown from $50,000 annually to over $600,000over a 10 year period.
Over 500 adults and children volunteer their efforts in helping the Farm to achieve its mission. Equally as important in its successful growth has been Days End Farm's increased focus on humane education, both on the local and national levels. As Days End continues to grow, so does the need for adequate space all the horses and programs require. The current location, which served us well over the years, is now literally bursting at the seams, with every square inch in use.
