Overview

Mission

Our mission is to rescue neglected, abused, abandoned, malnourished, retired, lame or injured horses all of which are at great risk for slaughter. Rescued horses will be rehabilitated, trained, socialized and eventually will be offered for adoption to a permanent caring home.

What it reported doing in 2025

Resque ranch, a non-profit equine rescue and rehabilitation center, provides shelter, food, physical therapy, socialization, training, and adoption opportunities for rescued and rehabilitated horses. We rescue neglected, abused, abandoned, emaciated, retired, lame, and injured horses, all of whom otherwise remain at great risk of ending up in the slaughter pipeline. Rescued and rehabilitated horses will, when ready, be offered for adoption to eligible, permanent, and caring forever homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 66% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
