Rescue  verb  To set free, as from danger or imprisonment, save (all definitions from yourDictionary.com)

Our Mission:

Each year many equines are euthanized.  The reasons are as numerous as the horses themselves.  Maybe its due to the horse's age,  or perhaps physical maladies.   Often, people become horse owners without fully realizing what it involves or buy a horse that is just "too much horse" for their riding ability. Perhaps the owner cannot afford the financial responsibilities or the physical demands of horse ownership. And sometimes, the unexpected happens and the person simply cannot care for the horse any longer. All of these situations breed a sense of hopelessness and frustration.   The owner may believe there is just no other choice for the horse other than having it put down.

Every year, many horses will also be sold at "sale barns". The well-meaning owner often might believe that their horse will go to a loving new home.  Although, this may be true in some cases, but a frightening majority of equines that are sold will end up  on a truck bound for slaughter.  It is a myth that only old horses go to slaughter for dog food. This simply is not true. Any horses are fair game for the slaughter house: foals, pregnant mares, show horses, race horses, there is no horse that's exempt.  In addition, many horses are sold for human consumption around the world.

The Alternative

We are a non profit 501c privately funded horse rescue and our mission is to save as many horses as we can from abuse and neglect, and to provide a home to all equines that need one. In addition, we aim to educate the public on proper horse care, responsible horse ownership, and all issues involving equines!

We at Tiny Timbers would like to offer a humane alternative.  If you have an old friend, companion, or "equine child" you no longer can keep for whatever reason, PLEASE think of donating your equine to Tiny Timbers Horse Rescue. Or, if you know someone who doesn't know about us, PLEASE think of us and give that horse a second chance.

We can guarantee your horse medical care, food and shelter. But more importantly, we will provide a good loving home, with kind hands and open hearts to care for all their special needs until the end of their lives.

We can't do it alone. We at Tiny Timbers constantly need your support either by way of donations of any kind or volunteering your time. If you can offer anything whether it is materials or time, no matter how much it is, to us it is a big help!
