Mission Statement
The mission of Equine Advocates is to rescue, protect and prevent the abuse of horses through education, investigation, rescue operations, the dissemination of information to the public and the operation of a horse sanctuary for slaughter-bound, abused and neglected horses.
About This Cause
Equine Advocates is a national non-profit 501(c)(3) equine protection organization founded in 1996. In 2004, we established Equine Advocates Rescue & Sanctuary, a 140-acre facility in upstate New York from which we now operate. Equine Advocates Rescue & Sanctuary has truly become a haven for horses. It is an equine village where horses get to live out their lives in a natural environment that allows them to socialize with each other. The 80+ equines who reside here receive lots of TLC. Over the years, we have rescued thousands of equines, including horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules from slaughter, abuse, and neglect. In 2006, we proudly opened the doors to our Humane Education Center where we welcome groups and individuals of all ages. Visitors come from many different parts of the country to learn about equine issues, responsible horse guardianship, humane horse handling, natural horsemanship, and many other important subjects that affect the welfare of our equine friends. We always stress the importance of people taking responsibility for the equines under their care and that they ensure a safe and kind existence during their lives and a peaceful, dignified experience in death. Slaughter is simply not an option. We offer Open Days and tours, as well as presenting lectures and classes on a variety of equine-related subjects and issues. We have held Symposiums on Equine Cruelty for law enforcement where experts discussed how to recognize abuse/neglect cases and how to effectively enforce the cruelty laws. In 2013, The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), the only globally recognized organization providing standards for identifying legitimate animal sanctuaries, awarded Accredited status to Equine Advocates Rescue & Sanctuary. In 2014, Equine Advocates was one of only 42 organizations to be awarded accredited status by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA). We were very honored to receive both of these important recognitions.
