Fallen Horses

Located in Pinon HIlls, CA, we are an equine rescue organization specializing in off-track Thoroughbreds. Our goal is to save as many horses from the possibility of slaughter as we can.

Some of our horses come directly from the track when their racing careers are over, while others have been purchased at auction to keep them out of the hands of kill buyers. Some have been surrendered to us by owners who can no longer care for their horses properly and want to avoid sending them to auction. However they come into our care, they are all loved and taken care of, regardless of condition.

Many horses coming from the track have been injured and need layup time to heal, then rehabilitation to get back into shape. No matter how long it takes, we will do everything we can to get these athletes back in shape so they can become companion or show horses to the best of their ability!

Our goal is to find a loving home for the horses who come into our care.

Rescue FAQs

Fallen Horses, Inc. is an all-volunteer, nonprofit equine rescue and sanctuary. All of the daily care, rehabilitation, re-training and re-homing of each horse is done solely by volunteers & our Board of Directors. We are passionate about the welfare of our horses, for the lifetime of each horse. Partnered with several County Departments, including Animal Control, we accept abused, neglected or abandoned horses into our program. Each horses’ health, soundness and temperament is evaluated and a rehabilitation program is tailored to each horses’ needs to maximize their recovery. Once each horse has been appropriately rehabilitated our staff assesses them on the ground and under saddle to determine suitability for adoption. We also partner with County Probation and Welfare Offices in need of placement for minor offenders or people in Welfare to Work Programs. Each person becomes part of our volunteer staff and they receive training in proper care, feeding, and maintenance of horses, including riding lessons for those who have an interest in getting more involved.
