Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: The directors of the medicine horse project acknowledge that animals are sentient beings with the power to heal the hearts of those who make a personal connection with them. We believe that animals should be admired, respected, and when needed, rescued. The medicine horse project's mission is the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of horses who have suffered neglect and abuse, or are in jeopardy of being sent to slaughter. The rehabilitation of the rescued horse will involve and engage volunteers and program guests who come to the project's healing retreats. Our guests will give care to the animals in the medicine horse project, and in doing so, they will prepare them for adoption into new loving homes. The return benefit to the caregivers is a healing of the mind, body and spirit that only animals can give humans. Sanctuary will be provided for certain rescued horses who are not well suited for adoption due to age, health issues, or temperament.
