Niña Clark and Horses’ Honor
Niña Clark is the
founder and driving force behind Horses’ Honor. She has been caring for
rescued horses since 1999. Horses’
Honor is located in Auburn,
California. At present, the facility
consists of 40 donated and leased acres that support 25-30 horses. Volunteers provide bookkeeping, technical,
facility and horse care support.
Many of the
residents at Horses’ Honor are thoroughbreds from the racetrack, but any
horse in need is welcome. The horses at
Horses’
Honor represent a broad
spectrum of horses in need. There are
magnificent, glossy horses right off the track or show circuit - some are
injured and others are simply not competitive anymore. Other horses that make their way to Horses’
Honor are aged, emaciated, in need of medical care, and hoping for an
advocate. Still other horses are
brought to Horses’ Honor by owners no longer able to provide for them and
hoping to find them a wonderful new home.
Two of the current residents are “charro” survivors. What all the horses have in common is
the need for a home, an advocate and an alternative to likely death by
slaughter.
Adoption Program
Horses’ Honor always has horses ready for adoption. Many of these horses make wonderful riding
partners, some even successful in the show ring, while others make loving
companions for people and horses, alike.
Adoptions are subject to careful screening of potential owners and a
horse may be returned to Horses’ Honor if the match doesn’t
work out or if the owner is no longer able to care for his/her charge.
Sponsorship Program
Horses’ Honor Sponsorship Program was designed for
individuals who want to help, but cannot assume the significant responsibility
horse ownership. Sponsors receive
regular updates and photos of their sponsored horse, and are welcome to visit
any time. Most of our horses enjoy and
benefit from simple hands-on time, brushing and, of course, TLC. But the primary benefit comes from the care,
feeding and extra services that sponsorship provides.
