Mission: Majestic Equine Rescue Foundation (MERF) was formed to provide rescue and sanctuary to abused, injured, homeless and surrendered equines until they can be placed in permanent loving homes; to provide an equine assisted therapeutic program to assist at-risk children; and to deepen the natural bond between horse and human through educational and outreach programs.
Results: We just opened our doors Jan 2011 and have had two adoptions already. I am proud to say we are helping communities through education on how to raise and care for horses, hoping to prevent equine distress & abuse.
Target demographics: For anyone interested in owning horses and need to understand how to take care of one and helping children learn to be effective adults through healing horses.
Geographic areas served: Knox County - 1 location Jackson County - 2 location
Programs: The Horsemanship program is a unique program that focuses on personal growth through horsemanship. Each student will be taught how to properly care for their horse. Anywhere from how much it costs to care for a horse, feed, water, shelter, hoof care, teeth care, horse maintenance, how much space a horse needs, to actually learning what a horse is really telling you it needs to feel safe in a new home. We will also be demonstrating personal growth by caring for something other than themselves. The personal goal for this program is to teach the student the ability to listen to instruction, learn from the experience and apply first rate knowledge to care for their new found friend and gain self-esteem through accomplishing the goals laid out in the program. Participants are welcome to use their own horse or choose one of Majestic's horses the duration of the program, They will also learn horsemanship, safety skills, horse management and eventually beginner/advanced riding skills.
