Indiana Horse Rescue - South

05/28/06 Recently we were asked how we can do this.  

It was not about the funding, but emotionally.  How we can deal with the sick, the old, the crippled.  We don't see it that way.  We see an animal that needs a little help to become whole again.  Some that need to understand that they will be fed every day (in fact we feed 3 times daily), not just "sometimes"  Others that need to learn to trust.  The majority of the horses that come to the rescue are coming to ensure they will never be abused, neglected or sent to slaughter.  Every horses that comes to IHR has a permanent file, even if they come in for no other reason than to be humanely euthanized, we give them the dignity they deserve.  No, it is not easy - many tears are shed.  But we are here for the horses and we try to make the right decision for their well being.  We do it for no other reason than for the love of the horses.  We are here for people who love their horses, but for some reason can no longer keep them - they can sleep knowing their horse is loved.

Who We Are

Indiana Horse Rescue is the Equine Division of Animal Protection Coalition, Inc., a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of abused, neglected and unwanted equines.  We are a public charity that received NO state or county funding, we can only do what we do with donations from people like you.

What We Do

We provide a safe environment for equines that need a home.  They may have been someone's pet or they may have endured starvation, neglect or even physical abuse.  All horses receive medical attention, we try to rehabilitate each horse in the hopes that we can locate responsible, caring and loving homes.  Our goal is to give any horse that needs us the opportunity at a second chance at life, never having to endure the horrors of starvation, neglect, abuse or slaughter.

Why We Do This

Indiana Horse Rescue was started was for nothing more than for the love of the horse.  Most shelters do not have the facilities to house or care for horses, we  are always available for horses in need.  There is around the clock care at the rescue farm with qualified volunteers available 24 hours a day.  We are striving to eliminate the abuse and neglect by promoting responsible horse ownership through education and community awareness.
