Our Mission

Dedicated to Raising Awareness and 

Funds for Horses In Need

Who Supports Horse Rescue Organizations? We Do!

Many amazing, in-the-trenches, 501(c)(3) equine rescue organizations have made it their mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and find homes and lifetime sanctuaries for horses that have been neglected, abused, or abandoned. Special Horses is honored to support these rescues by running online fundraisers, helping craft grant applications, providing marketing materials, and more.


Two Important Questions to Ask Before Participating in a Fundraiser or Donating: 


Q: "Can I Trust Special Horses?"

A: Yes, you can. We know that honesty and transparency is the foundation of your support, so we encourage you to verify us by clicking on the GuideStar, Candid, Great NonProfits, and The Homes for Horses Coalition logos in the Credentials section at the bottom of the page. You can also review our Annual Reports on the About page, and check our reviews and comments on social media.


Q: "Where Do My Donations Go?"

A: Our rescue organizations are given most of the money we raise, because we want the majority of your donations to help horses in need. We purposely keep our operating expenses at a minimum, and to see an exact breakdown of our income and expenses, check our Annual Reports on the About page. Also, we are 100% volunteer run and receive no compensation for our fundraising efforts, so every fundraiser we run, every grant we write and submit on behalf of a rescue, and every flyer we create is done at no charge to the recipient organization.

What People Are Saying About Special Horses:

Endless Effort and Fortitude...

Special Horses works tirelessly to help equines in need, providing countless fundraising campaigns for reputable horse rescues. They have aligned themselves with organizations that work for equine protections, always engaging their network to get the word out on action alerts, and always with a kind word. Their efforts and fortitude are endless. They have earned great respect within equine communities from coast to coast.

~ Nancy C. W.

The Horses Get The Most Help...

I review charities very carefully and only donate to the ones that return a high dollar amount to the "actual" cause. Specialhorses.org gives not just all of the money, but it takes an enormous amount of time and volunteer hours to maintain the support they provide. They vet the recipients of the help they provide, so you can be sure the horses are getting the most help. I am so thankful I found this organization! 

~ Al H.

The Main Organization I Donate To...

The volunteers of the Special Horses organization work diligently to raise money and awareness for horse rescues and they advocate saving horses from slaughter auctions. They will raise money for medical needs, feed, farrier, or general operations and donate all of the funds they raise unselfishly. They are the main organization I donate to because I trust their mission and its values.

~ Sidna M.
