Archer: Three rescued horses need your help. Their caregiver has been rescuing, sheltering and advocating for horses, greyhounds, and other animals for more than20 years.

She desperately needs a home for her beloved horses. These sweet animals are elderly, 20 or 21 years old, and have some health problems, but they could have years of happy life ahead of them.

Please note: The vegan lifestyle, which Farm Sanctuary promotes, generally precludes the use of animals. Domesticated companion animals are an obvious exception, because well treated companions define an issue of relationship rather than one of exploitation. Horses are exploited at the slaughterhouse by some, while cherished by others. We condemn the capture of wild horses, and we are against the indiscriminate use of horses as commodities, situations in which they’re too often abused, as with horse racing, horse rentals and horse-drawn carriage rentals. We fully recognize that horses born into domesticity can have the best of lives in the care of conscientious caregivers.
