I have been around the horses that Jo rescues and seen the before and afters in many. What a difference, they look great after she has them for a while. Jo also has a trainer work with most of them. She keeps a very close eye on everything dealing with them. You can see how much she cares!

Going to Jo's farm and other fostering farms and have seen many before and after horses and it is amazing what the love and care do for these horses.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
wish they had more money to buy a bigger farm and everything needed for more horses to come in to the rescue

Over the last 5 years I have seen this great rescue grow in directions I never knew it could. Why? Because of Jo . Her passion, dedication to the horses continues to drive her efforts. She got her GFAS (Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries) accredidation long before almost all of the other equine rescues. Why? because she wants donors to see where their money goes. And Mattie's Legacy Fund has become an integral program assisting horses whose owners have fallen on hard times. Her recent work with my local Animal Control in just the last few months has helped 3 horses whose futures were very grim. And then there is the educational billboard campaign (www.stopslaughteringus.com) designed to educate the public about horse slaughter. Yep her efforts are felt all over the US.. with over 20 billboards and horses across the US she is making a difference.. well wothy of donations!

Simply put: Angel Acres is one of the most passionate organizations around! They are the boots on the ground when it comes to saving slaughter-bound horses. I appreciate their emphasis on responsible ownership and humane euthanasia. I've volunteered with causes all around the United States and will be happy to tell anyone that Jo and the Angel Acres crew are a great example of what happens when kindness is their mission. I wish I could volunteer there on a weekly basis...maybe someday.

Jo has been such an inspriring and tireless advocate for horses...Her grass roots efforts have stretched from coast to coast. This rescue is taking steps farther than rescuing horses (which they also do)....they are educating America that WE ARE KILLING 100,000 HORSES ANNUALLY. They are accomplishing goals that the big whigs aren't able to....
When horse slaughter ends in the US...look to AAHHR as having a large part in it!

I have to say from personal experience that AAHHR does everything for the horses with the highest standards possible. Jo devotes every waking hour of her time (without a paycheck) to give these animals every possible chance they can have to have a happy and healthy life. She has been GFAS accredited which is no easy task. GFAS credidation speaks quality care which I have seen it first hand.

I support Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue whole heartedly. What they do to help the horses is awesome and if I lived closer I would do so much more to help them. I admire and fully agree with their anti-horse slaughter views, too and wish more people would sit up and listen to us.

I have been volunteering for Angel Acres for over a year now and I have see amazing changes in the horses that were saved from slaughter, abuse, and abandonment. They go out of their way to help as many horses in need as they can. I will continue volunteering for Angel Acres in the future because I know they are doing their best to make our country a better place for animals of all kinds.

Angel Acres does a wonderful job rescuing horses, rehabilitating and training them, and carefully matching them to new homes where they can lead happy, productive lives. In my time training horses for the rescue, I have seen a number of wonderful horses find homes where they go on to fruitful second careers, from everything from trail riding to winning at shows. They work hard to match horses and riders to ensure that everyone is happy, and they give numerous horses a chance at life that they may not have otherwise been granted.

I became aware of, and involved with, Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue a little over a year ago. I have seen, petted, fed and loved some of their rescued horses. I look at each one and think how could anyone have sent this sweet, beautiful creature to the slaughter auction, abused or neglected it? But, at the same time, I am very thankful that Jo was there to save each of those horses from a horrible fate. Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue is a well run, outstanding wonderful organization and one that I am very proud to support.

I have volunteered with Angel Acres for the past several years and have watched the excellent care they provide to the animals. I have witnessed the great lengths that the volunteers go to to make sure that the horses are well cared for, that their waterers are always clean, their is always hay available, that stalls are mucked and picked daily, that no manure is stored on the property, that all horses are groomed and inspected each morning first and throughout the day. They take excellent care of the horses, as if they were their children. Many are up for adoption, some are being trained for adoption and all are loved until their new homes are found.
The Great!
