National Help a Horse Day

National Help a Horse Day encourages horse lovers and advocates to join forces and help protect abused and neglected horses. The day raises awareness of the need for horse sanctuaries and rescues like ours.

In Canada, the horse holds coveted status. Despite that, many go unwanted, abused, or neglected. This day strives to address those issues by drawing attention to organizations like ours that support horse rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. The Barefoot Ranch offers shelter and veterinary care for horses that have been neglected or abused. Sometimes we provide a sanctuary where the horses live out the remainder of their lives. Once rehabilitated, many of the horses become available for adoption.

However, horses require specialized and costly care. Unfortunately, the Barefoot Ranch does not run on love alone, we require funding that comes in the form of monetary donations, volunteers, and in-kind donations. Through National Help A Horse Day, increased awareness of our organization’s needs will further help more horses.
