The 5 Freedoms in Action
These images capture the reality of our work—transforming suffering into healing, fear into trust, and neglect into care. Each photograph represents the 5 Freedoms being restored.
The 5 Freedoms of Animal Welfare form the cornerstone of everything we do. These internationally recognized standards ensure that every equine in our care receives comprehensive, compassionate treatment.
This is not just policy—this is our promise to every horse that comes through our gates.
These principles guide every decision we make, from emergency rescue to long-term rehabilitation.
Every equine deserves access to fresh water and a diet that maintains full health and vigor. We ensure proper nutrition tailored to each horse's individual needs, whether recovering from starvation or maintaining optimal health during rehabilitation.
Horses require appropriate shelter and comfortable resting areas. Our sanctuary provides safe, weather-appropriate housing with clean bedding, protection from the elements, and sufficient space for each animal to rest and recover.
We provide immediate veterinary assessment and ongoing medical care for every equine. This includes pain management, treatment of injuries, disease prevention through vaccination, and regular health monitoring to ensure rapid intervention when needed.
Horses are social, grazing animals that need space to roam and interact. Our facilities provide sufficient area for natural movement, opportunities for socialization with other equines, and environments that allow them to exhibit their natural behaviors.
Mental well-being is as critical as physical health. We ensure conditions and treatment that avoid mental suffering by providing calm, predictable environments, gentle handling, and trauma-informed care for horses that have experienced abuse or neglect.
These images capture the reality of our work—transforming suffering into healing, fear into trust, and neglect into care. Each photograph represents the 5 Freedoms being restored.
If you witness an equine being denied these basic freedoms, speak up. Your report can be the difference between suffering and salvation.
