Mission Statement

 

Horses’ Honor is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting horses in need.  It provides sanctuary in a safe, natural environment to horses that would otherwise face likely slaughter or unnecessary euthanasia.  It offers rehabilitation, re-training and adoption services.

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.
