All the King's Horses Equine Rescue not only introduced me to my own horse but has taught me so much. Mary and the volunteers are beyond amazing amd are always willing to share their knowledge and experience. The care and love they have for the over 100 horses they haved saved to date is beyond amazing. Since adopting my boy I have become more involved in the fundraising, adoption process, and care of these amazing creatures and will continue to support them in anyway I can.

I have been part of All The Kings Horses Rescue since 2010. I have taken part in the saving and recovery and adoption of many horses. This is an organization that always puts the best interest of our horses as a priority. We have many dedicated volunteers and have a successful
Adoption rate. I am fortunate enough to be an adopter of one of our horses and it has changed my life.

All the kings horses and equine rescue is a place where both horses and humans go to heal. They take in all types of equines and nurture them with top quality care to ensure that they will live the very best lives. The adoption process is thorough but very considerate to make sure that the horses find their perfect match. Mary is one in a million and goes above and beyond for all those in need.

I worked with Mary prior to her venture of rescuing horses. I began volunteering. My son who was 4 at the time would come with apples for the horses. He always saved the biggest apple for his favorote horse Nena. One day my son was holding his apple because Nena was still outside. She came up behind him and kissed the top of his head amd began grooming him. She is an amazing beautiful horse. We ended up co adopting her. Mary has such amd amazing spirit and kindness to her that is not refularly seen these days.

ATKHER is a unique rescue where animals that might be deemed unadoptable by other rescues are welcomed in, rehabbed and either adopted out or kept until there last days. Its refreshing to see an organization who takes in an animal despite potential health problems. ATKHER does everything they can to insure the horses they adopt out are partnered with people for life. That said, should life changes happen, AKTHER stands by all their adoptees and will take the horse back no questions ask. Very rarely do I see an organization that follows thru with a rescue until its last day.

I volunteered at All The Kings Horses Equine Rescue with a friend for about a year and a half. It is such a well run rescue and the volunteers are so dedicated. Everyone works very hard to be sure the horses are well cared for and happy. There is an organized schedule for the volunteers and all the horses feeding, and in some cases medical information, is readily available. The barn, paddocks and grounds are kept clean and well maintained. Mary’s love and dedication to horses is evident in her beautiful horse rescue!

All The Kings Horses has rescued many horses in heartbreaking situations, only to watch these animals blossom with love and care. The rescued horses go on to be adopted by loving families, giving them a second chance. We applaud their efforts and devotion to horses.

i have volunteered for ATKH since April of 2011 and i continue to be impressed each week with the dedication and thoughtfulness of Mary Santagada, the organization's founder, and the many volunteers who make this rescue a success. The ATKH team achieves great things for horses that otherwise would have suffered greatly and/or died. Mary is totally focused on creating the best environment possible for each rescue. In turn, she inspires us volunteers to do our best for our darling equines. The involvement of local high school students as volunteers has been an additional plus for the kids, the horses and the community. Horses who come to us have had awful pasts; everyone at ATKH is dedicated to making their present and future wonderfully happy and healthy. Caring, hard-working people and a culture of respect for animals make for a great organization. : )

As a volunteer at All The Kings Horses Eqine Rescue I can attest first hand about the amount of love and compassion that go into this organization! The people who run and help with this amazing cause truly love what they are working towards and more so truly love these great animals! It is such a fantastic team to work with and is great knowing that the horses will soon be brought to their forever home after rehabilitation. While everyone's goal is to place these horses with a family that will care and love for them the process is never rushed, the horse's needs are always put first and of course they are spoiled while in our care.It is a labor of love that I am honored to be apart of and I urge anyone to check them out and contribute in anyway they can! Great things are being done by great people to help these beautiful horses who are in much need of our help.

My daughter and I have been volunteers with All the King's Horses Equine Rescue since early summer of 2012. This has been an amazing experience for both of us. I truly feel that this rescue is composed of the most genuine, quality individuals I have ever met. Everyone is incredibly welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Caring for the horses, helping them to recover, and keeping them safe is top priority. The overriding belief is that each horse deserves a loving family, and they are committed and determined to find the best match possible for each one. Volunteering at ATKHER has been one of the best choices I have ever made and I'm so thankful that I have become part of this family. Because of the compassion shown to these horses, and the way they are as open about the health and history of each horse as possible, we are very seriously considering adding "adoptive family" to our affiliation with this group.

I have had wonderful experiences with ATKHER. I have been an adopter, foster, and volunteer for the organization. Their honesty, caring nature, and support are unbelievable. My adopted equines are part of my family and have changed my life for the better. I couldn't be more happy with this organizations mission and for them bringing me together with my adoptive equines.
