Lost and Found Horse Recue Foundation

We are committed to providing quality treatment for all equines. One of our main goals is to educate horse owners about optimal conditions for their beloved friends. In doing so, we regularly attend trade rallies, grant newspaper interviews and participate in public speaking events to create a higher awareness of equine care.

In fact, we are so passionate about this cause that we have been approached on numerous occasions to speak at congressional hearings to help enact or reinforce legislation aimed at preventing inhumane equine practices around the country.

At L&FHRF, we strive to find nurturing homes for every horse, pony, mule or donkey that comes into contact with us. That is why we look to like-minded individuals for financial assistance to continue our rescue efforts and also rehabilitate healthy horses for a second chance at leading productive lives. It is only through private donations, foster care programs, community outreach and volunteered time that we are able to continue these goals.

History

We have been actively involved with horse rescue since the early 1980s but did not become a non-profit organization until 1997. Kelly & Tracy Young, co-directors at the Rescue, have witnessed firsthand the atrocities that equines all too often endure. After one memorable experience, the couple started purchasing three to five horses a year with limited space to house the animals. Eventually, private donations allowed the Young’s to purchase their 20-acre farm where L&FHRF now operates.

Today, with more than 100 horses annually going through our gates we are well on the way toward creating a better existence for equines everywhere. One day soon we hope to relocate to a larger farm so that we may reach an even greater number. Not all of our horses are victims of abuse and neglect, or are aged and unhealthy. Many animals are donated to the Rescue by owners no longer able to provide appropriate care for their animals and want them to have a good home.
