Why A Horse Sanctuary?

Horses have been instrumental in helping us shape history, raising our standard of living, and improving our quality of life. With horses we live adventures and escape to magical places. The profoundly gentle nature of a horse can soften even the most hardened person -- yet for all their generosity many horses spend their lives in horrific, unsanitary conditions or die from neglect or brutality.

Montana Horse Sanctuary was established to help ease the suffering and improve the lives of unfortunate horses who cross our path, while educating the public about these magnificent and deserving animals. Each year in the U.S. alone, 100,000 horses are sent to slaughter, 90,000 are euthanized because they are unwanted, and an indeterminable number are abused and neglected.

Montana Horse Sanctuary provides positive options for both horses and handlers by providing:

a safe sanctuary for horses in need, whether displaced from a loving home or turned over to law enforcement because of abuse or neglect;
rehabilitation to the sanctuary's resident horses to help them live healthy, happy lives;
permanent homes by placing horses with qualified, loving owners;
educational opportunities for horse people including riding, care, health and handling.

Meet A Growing Need

Montana Horse Sanctuary is rapidly outgrowing its current location north of Helena, Montana. We must find a Montana ranch or parcel of land which can sustainably support 25-50 horses year round. Our planned facilities will include a veterinary - quarantine barn, a large indoor arena, turn-out shelters, corrals, and large pastures. The estimated cost for land and facilities is $3 million.
