Mission Statement
Good Haven Equine Rescue is dedicated to saving equines from abuse, neglect, and slaughter, restoring their health and trust, and ensuring they find secure and nurturing forever homes.
About Us
Our goal is to rescue at risk equines in the slaughter pipeline and to provide a safe haven for equines suffering from abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. We provide rehabilitation, love, and care until equines can be placed in forever, permanent homes. We also educate the public on the realities of horse slaughter and bring awareness to the horrendous conditions they endure while in the slaughter pipeline.
Who We Are
Hi, I’m Andrea, founder of Good Haven Equine Rescue. My love for horses began when I was a child, and helping horses in need has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I rescued horses whenever I had the opportunity, always dreaming of one day creating a nonprofit that would allow me to help even more horses than I could on my own.
In 2023, that dream became a reality when I founded Good Haven Equine Rescue, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to giving horses a chance at a better life.
Before we could officially begin our mission, however, tragedy struck. In 2024, a tornado devastated our acreage, destroying the outbuildings I had spent years restoring. My husband and I spent the following year rebuilding, working hard to put the pieces back together and create a stronger foundation for the future. Although the road hasn't been easy, our determination to help horses has never wavered. Now, we're ready to move forward and continue doing what we love.
At Good Haven Equine Rescue, every horse matters, and every life deserves a chance. From tiny foals like Ranger and Beauty to our older, more opinionated donkeys like Charlie, each animal has a unique personality and a special place in our hearts.
Our mission is simple: to provide safety, compassionate care, and a second chance to every equine who comes through our gates. We believe every horse deserves to be valued, loved, and given the opportunity to live out their days in comfort and security.
Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us make a difference, one horse at a time. ❤️
