Mission Statement
At Thunder Mountain Farms Equine Rescue it is our mission to provide shelter, care, rehabilitation, and adoption services for abandoned, abused, neglected, slaughter-bound, or unwanted horses while also providing life enriching experiences for youth and adults through education, mentor-ship, networking and collaborations. Since our inception, Thunder Mountain Farms Equine Rescue has helped support & rescue over a 1500 horses! Our foremost goal is to save at-risk horses, help rehabilitate & place them into loving homes. We also operate an orphanage for very young baby horses (foals) orphaned during the round-up of wild herds in Central Washington State as the horses are sent to slaughter during foaling season.
About This Cause
Thunder Mountain Farms Equine Rescue, a registered 501C3 charity, is located in Enumclaw, Washington. We have a strong presence on Facebook operating three group pages: “Thunder Mountain Farms Equine Rescue”, the “Yakima Orphan Foal Network” and the “Pony Express Rescue Project Co-op”. Since March of 2011, Thunder Mountain Farms Equine Rescue has been responsible for saving approximately 1500 horses that were destined to be exported to slaughter houses in Canada and Mexico. Contrary to popular belief, slaughter buyers do not want the old, the sickly and the lame. They want the fat, healthy, younger horses that bring them more money per pound as top grade meat for human consumption in Japan, China, Russia, France, Belgium, Mexico and South America. Many of the horses saved through fundraising are placed directly into approved, loving homes; others come to our farm for rehabilitation, training, and rehoming. A select few horses, will live their lives in sanctuary at our rescue farm. In June of 2014, we started the Yakima Orphan Foal Network to save babies orphaned by the wild horse roundups on the Yakima Indian Reservation. Our orphanage in Toppenish is open 7x24 to receive the just-born to months old, baby horses whose mothers and entire family herds, shipped to slaughter by the hundreds. The eventual elimination target will remove 12,000 horses. The massacre continues…… In 2016, we also rescued herds of gorgeous wild horses from the mountains of Tonasket, WA. and placed them into adoptive training homes. The rescue strongly depends on the participation of its' volunteers. With lots of chores to be done, stalls to be cleaned, fences mended, horses to be fed, groomed and trained, there's something for volunteers of all ages and experience levels. Our volunteers get as much out of the experience as the horses do. Winston Churchill once said "There's something about the outside of a horse, that's good for the inside of a man." Come join us and experience it for yourself!
