Safe Haven Horse Rescue Mission Statement
We are a group of people who care about horses and their quality of life. As a non-profit organization, we will improve the lives of horses by providing a safe environment and teaching other people to provide safe environments as well. We will offer the horses a life where there is trust and hope. We also participate in the removal of horses from neglectful and/or abusive situations. Through the efforts of Safe Haven Horse Rescue and Sanctuary, we will care for the equine, by restoring health and well being and if possible placing them in loving, caring homes.
History & Background
Linda Richards started Safe Haven
in January of 1995. Linda would go to auctions and see mistreated
and neglected horses. This broke her heart because she knew
they deserved a better life including someone who would love
them and care for them. That was the vision that brought Safe
Haven to reality. She has been rescuing horses for since 1995
now and takes them in as space allows.
At the age of sixteen, Linda had a horse of her own. She became a veterinary technician and thought that she would always be able to live in harmony with "Sunny". As time went on she had to make the difficult decision to give up her horse. Luckily, she found someone who would not only love Sunny just as much as she did but also had enough time to spend with him. It was through that experience that Linda discovered there were other people going through the same predicament and she wanted to help them as her friend had helped her. This was the first hint that Linda had that she would be involved in horse rescue. Now, along with her volunteers, she finds time to feed and care for 20-25 horses.
