Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary |
| Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary Inc. was created in 2008, for the sole purpose of offering a safe haven for unwanted, abused or neglected horses. This sanctuary offers safe care and refuge - to all horses who pass through our gates. Here all their needs will be provided for - including shelter, nutrition, vet and farrier care, and most importantly - unconditional love and attention. Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary provides services to all surrendered horses, regardless of the previous owners circumstances. Our facility is dedicated to the rehabilitation of these magnificent animals, whenever possible, to their fullest physical and mental potential. It is our goal at Amazing Grace, once overall health, well being and soundness of a horse is accomplished, to assess them for possible placement and adoption to the public. www.AmazingGraceEquineSanctuary.com |

F.A.L.L. Equine and Animal Rescue |
| F.A.L.L. Equine and Animal Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation that offers heart and home to animals in need. Based in Washburn,WI, it is operated entirely by Larry and Jodi Munson. They have experience with all kinds of animals, but specialize in attending to special needs horses and working with others to help make a change in the laws governing livestock. Their facility is not fancy but all their residents are sheltered, well-fed, and loved. 100% of their donations and adoption fees go back into the charity. At F.A.L.L., horses are welcomed from all different situations. Many are surrendered by families who, for one reason or another, can no longer care for them; others are allowed to come and live with them after suffering hardship such as abuse or neglect. Another portion of their animals come from auctions where they are being bid upon by kill buyers. The subject of saving horses from auctions is debated by many, but at F.A.L.L., they feel slaughter is a brutal, barbaric end for these helpless creatures.
Over the years, they have found that spiritual healing is just as important as physical healing. Many of the animals that come through their gates have suffered a lifetime of abuse, neglect, fear and disappointment at the hands of humans. There is no greater joy than seeing a healthy soul emerge from a healing body. fallgirl@cheqnet.net |

Midwest Horse Welfare Association |
| M.H.W.F. Inc. is a charity and non-profit organization dedicated to finding homes for horses who would otherwise have a hard time finding a good home. That is our only purpose. We are not horse dealers or traders and are not a market for backyard breeders. Everyone involved in our program is a volunteer and 100% of all donations and adoption fees go back into the care of another needy horse.
The horses that come to us come for many reasons and each horse has it's own story. They all have one thing in common, they need a loving and caring home. Our rules and policies are the accumulation of years of experience and planning. We are looking for good people with big hearts willing to share their lives with a horse who needs their help. For the folks who understand this, we greatly appreciate the help and support you have shown. www.EquineAdoption.com
