The Retirement Home
for Horses gives lifetime care to horses seized by law enforcement; those
rescued by the SPCA or Humane Societies; horses retired from government
service such as police patrol, state or federal parks; horses used by
handicapped riding programs; circus horses; those used in experiments or
similar cases. We are no longer able to accept horses from private owners
who themselves should provide for their horses in old age.
