Mission Statement
To provide space (whether digital or on-demand) where people interested and/or involved in
the field of equine rescue, advocacy and/or welfare can learn from one another.
The ultimate goal of such interaction is to increase the power of the field at-large so as to benefit more equines
and raise public awareness on issues surrounding, ultimately leading to an end to the need for equine rescue.
