Horse Haven of Tennessee was a long time dream of founding President/Executive Director Nina Margetson. Nina and her husband David moved to Tennessee from upstate New York in 1979 where Nina found employment as a veterinary assistant at a local small animal hospital. Over the years while working within the animal welfare community, Nina recognized the need for a place to shelter equine in the event of emergencies, abandonment or confiscation. County animal shelters were ill-equipped or unwilling to house equine if the need arose. Cruelty cases were not being investigated because even if reasonable cause was found to remove the animals, there was no place to house them until a judgment was made by the courts.
In 1997 Nina and David purchased a few acres and began working towards building a temporary placement facility. An additional 47+ acres was made available for their use but would require clearing and fencing. During this time Nina began earning her Animal Cruelty Investigator certification from the National Cruelty Investigators School, offered through the University of Missouri Law Enforcement Training Institute. The plan was to have a small, equine holding facility and a network of foster people available in the Knox and surrounding counties, offered at no charge to the local officials, within three (3) years. By being able to offer this type of service HHT had hopes the local communities would be more apt to take a stand against neglect and cruelty to our equine friends.
