Compassion noun  Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it

We started our rescue efforts in November of 1998, and since then have taken care of dozens of horses that would have never had a chance without us. Our contact information is

We take in all equines, regardless of age, breed, medical or physical condition.   We have taken in horses from all over Arkansas, as well as Texas, Missouri and Louisiana.  Our residents include Arabs, Thoroughbreds, Miniature Horses, donkeys, mustangs and everything in between. 

  "What are your looking at?" Mule and Shorty

What happens to these horses? Many horses simply have too many physical or behavioral issues to leave Tiny Timbers, so they will live out their remaining lives being loved and cared for by our rescue. Here they can live their lives with dignity and without fear.

But, for the fortunate horses that are considered adoptable, we do place these horses in qualified adoptive homes. Please understand  that many of the horses that are available for adoption are not rideable due to medical or training issues, but would still make wonderful "pasture pals".  We don't get many "dead broke", sound, rideable horses through here.  Most of our residents have some type of special needs.  In addition,  Tiny Timbers will retain co-ownership of the horse, so that is the adoptive home doesn't work out, we will be able to get the horse back. That way we know the horse will be receiving love and care the rest of its life, hopefully in a kind, loving new home, but if not, we have plenty of TLC to go around here!

"Amazingly fast, incredibly strong, tirelessly proud, fantastically gentle, he is a huge dark beast that touches the hearts of all who meet him.  He has known joy and violence. Felt the warmth of children and the cruelty of abuse. He has nearly died saving lives and merely been killed by a drunken act. He has known the finery of grand estates and the filth of stinking slums. He has survived fire and flood, starvation and torment.
And nothing could break his spirit-or his great love. This is HIS life. He is called the horse"

We would love to meet new volunteers!
