Overview

Mission

Rescue and rehabilitate horses in danger of starvation and slaughter. Promote equine welfare

What it reported doing in 2025

Daily care and rehabilitation of rescued horses providing food, nutrients, medications and veterinary care. All aspects of horse care, training, grooming and related tasks are provided by volunteer officers and volunteer staff. The organization is funded entirely by donation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.

Key Signals

Signals prioritize questions for review. They are not findings of misconduct.

Grant-readiness screening is separate from the live rating, not a measure of program quality. Review the source records before making a grant decision.

  • Moderate — Financial Efficiency: Mission deployment rate scored 49/100.
  • High — Accountability: Governance controls: 4 of 6 not reported.
  • Moderate — Transparency & Controls: Schedule A contributions reconciliation did not reconcile in the filed values.
  • Review — Grant Readiness: California registration: this organization could not be resolved against the register, so the check is unfinished.
