There they were again, two sad, little heads poking through the fence boards on a futile search for food. The little heads that they could barely lift held such large, sad eyes. They had been abandoned and the neighbors had been trying to get in contact with the owners, with animal control, with anyone who would listen. You can’t look at suffering like that and do nothing, but it would take the founding of Howey Horse Haven Rescue to get the ponies to safety.
After contacting the owners and getting the two relinquished to us, they officially set us off on our journey as HHHR on May 13th, 2013. Bocephus and Walktosha were our first intakes and remain a part of our beloved herd of sanctuary horses. We have rescued almost 100 equines and helped many others find homes through rigorous networking.
Howey Horse Haven Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization located in Morrison, TN (you can check out our financials and non-profit status here). We are dedicated to the rehabilitation of abused, neglected, and unwanted/unloved horses, ponies, and donkeys. We provide proper nutrition, medical, farrier and dental care, and, foremost, a safe haven for these beautiful horses to recover from their former situation. We strive daily to give all our rescues a much deserved second chance at life and ultimately place them with adopters who can provide them with permanent, loving homes, where they will never feel hunger or pain again. We are 100% volunteer operated and rely solely on public’s generosity, through feed, hay, monetary donations, volunteerism, and prayers.
All horses that enter the gates of HHHR are on their journey to a new beginning.
One of our missions is to educate and we answer tons of questions every day. If you have some for us, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page (FAQ) to see if yours has already been answer!
