Mission: At Rosemary Farm Sanctuary, Inc. , our mission is to rescue horses in need, and protect them for life. We save equines from slaughter, neglect, and abuse. Most have been passed from owner to owner, never knowing a herd or consistency. When they arrive here, they are home. We provide care, training, and space to recover, for however long is needed. Working closely with our professional team of equine specialists, we make our decisions based on what is best for each horse and the Sanctuary family. Our horses live in dynamic natural environments, in herd groups, creating vital family bonds that are honored and protected. While adoption is not our focus, select horses may be available to adopt, under contract, to the right home. In addition to our rescue work, we educate horse owners and the general public about the conditions many horses suffer, and how they can improve both the physical and emotional guardianship of horses. Rosemary Farm is 'Where horses get to be horses'.
