Programs with the Rescued Horses at Peaceful Acres

Our Programs are non-riding based and the horses are nearly all rescued from neglect, abuse, or shipment to slaughter. We have provided a new “career” for the animals in our care. Many come from over-worked and under-cared for situations, so we like to do most of our work alongside of them instead of on their backs. While we are not against riding, we are home to mostly retired, senior, and special needs horses who have so much to offer in ways other than riding.

We’ve got the horsepower to pull youth and teens forward into more excited, meaningful and motivated mindsets.

We partner rescued horses and donkeys with people in customized programs to foster improvements in social, emotional, mental and physical wellbeing that will make better leaders, and more stable and hopeful individuals of the young people in our communities.

Time spent with the rescues of PAH gives young people a chance to think big, dream, and be encouraged.

Peaceful Acres Horses, Inc. is a Volunteer and Donor-supported Nonprofit Rescued Equine Community Organization that has rescued, restored and re-homed at-risk and slaughter-bound equines since 2007. PAH’s Equine Sanctuary provides a loving, compassionate and interactive forever home for senior, retired, special needs, and program horses, minis, donkeys and mules.

More than 250 rescues, roughly half re-homed, and dozens are living the remainder of their days with Peaceful Acres Horses.
