Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: Freeman Arabian Ranch & Rescue (FARR) is a primarily self-funded, 100% volunteer and donation based, 501 (c) (3) nonprofit forever animal rescue/sanctuary located on thirty nine acres north of Topeka, Kansas. We are "Top Rated" with GreatNonprofits and have earned a Platinum Seal of Transparency with GuideStar. Although our name includes the word Ranch, we DO NOT breed, sell, adopt out, show or compete. We simply enjoy the love, loyalty, friendship and companionship of our sanctuary family members. We are content feeding, grooming, caring for and spending quality time with them therefore we are well suited for sanctuary work and have over thirty years' experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation. Those who come into our care become permanent members of our sanctuary family and live out the remainder of their lives with us never knowing hunger, neglect, cruelty, fear or abandonment ever again. We are a forever sanctuary for predominantly senior horses, dogs and cats who may be considered by some to be less desirable not only due to advanced age but also due to physical limitations, medical conditions and/or imperfections. We focus on rescuing the Arabian horse breed in particular as they are often stereotyped, misunderstood and discriminated against but we adore, understand and respect their distinctive traits and personalities. In addition, we transport and foster for other rescues and advocate for new and improved animal protection legislation as a means of improving the lives of more animals than we can possibly provide lifetime care for ourselves.

The folks at this ranch and rescue are beyond amazing. They take incredible care of their animals and do everything right with no shortcuts. Due to my husband’s dementia we had to find a safe place for our mare to go. These wonderful folks stepped up at a time when we really needed the help. I rest much better knowing this precious mare Dawn, who we love so much is under their care. We are eternally grateful for these wonderful folks.

Iam so impressed with the Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue. The owners live in a beautiful country setting where their senior rescues are free to roam and live out their senior lives they deserve. They rescue older animals (horses, cats, dogs) that otherwise may be overlooked and don't get adopted due to their age. I cannot say enough nice things about Tricia and Jeff and the love and dedication they put into this rescue and their animals. Truly inspiring.

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer at Freeman Arabian Ranch, and I was absolutely blown away by the level of care and dedication that they have for each and every animal. The ranch is a non-profit rescue that specializes in taking in older animals most of which need continuous medical care. I had the chance to work their schedule for a few days, and I was amazed at the amount of work that they do on a daily basis - not only did they have to care for the animals, but they also had full-time jobs. Despite all of this, they never once complained and always had a smile on their face. It was truly inspirational to see such passion and dedication in action, and I am so grateful to have been able to be a part of it. Thank you, Freeman Arabian Ranch, for all that you do!

Accomplishments as well as a humane undersganding of their individual personalities are documented. Each horse becomes not only an acquaintenance, but a friend.

Their ranch & rescue is immaculately maintained. They love their animals. I've mourned with them as their animals came to the end of their lives. They are beautiful, loving & caring people. One rescue whose integrity is without question. I would not hesitate to recommend them as "Top Rated" and for them to be able to maintain this status. Thank you for letting me share.

Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue is dedicated to giving Arabian horses in need a forever home. Tricia and Jeff Freeman have built their lives around providing the best of care to their rescue residents and it shows in the cleanliness and organization of their operation. Caring for aging equines who may live into their twenties or even thirties is no small nor inexpensive commitment. The Freemans have shown their commitment through the horses they have rescued.

Jeff & Tricia Freeman owners of Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue are a loving couple that have loved animals all their lives. They have a great work ethic and they take fantastic care of all the rescues. I have known them for 30 years and they are the most kind, honest & sincere husband and wife team. They’ve given so much time, love and attention to each & every animal that has come into their path. You can see how much expertise they have with horses that need special diets in order to be comfortable. I’m so proud of them for giving all animals a chance for a happily ever after. They are the BEST at what they do….Unconditional Love

Tricia & Jeff have been animal lovers their whole lives. They have rescued different animals and have cared for for each and everyone of them. Some of their rescues have dietary needs and needed medications; but that has never crossed their mind to pass up an animal in need...that’s just Tricia & Jeff it comes from the love they have to share for them. They are a stellar rescue and I highly recommend them.

Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue is a perfect example of rescue done right. Not only do they step up for the animals and their community, but they step it up for the WORLD. The Freeman's have dedicated their lives to ensuring that the animals in their care receive the best, top notch care that they deserve. They make excellent role models for both youth and adults, alike, but also for our future generations.

I have known Tricia since middle school and her care and love for animals has a long history. Along with Jeff, these two have given care and happiness in the adult years of these dogs, horses, cats and even some bunnies.
The hard work is nothing to them when it comes to the fulfillment it provides. I am a very minimal donor and wish I could give more but hope this money makes it a tiny bit easier to do their job.

Freeman Arabian Ranch & Rescue is a small lovely place where abandoned or needy animals are lovingly cared for, made happy and healthy once again. It is meticulously maintained and cleanly. The animals are treated with respect, love and kindness. Individual care is provided for primarily horses, dogs and cats, and catered to their needs. The animals receive routine veterinarian care, supplements and individual diet needs are provided and maintained. Any animal who finds its way into this rescue is lucky indeed!

My husband and I went to a "work day" at the Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue, and met Tricia and Jeff, the owners. Not only do they give loving forever homes to rescued horses, but also to dogs, cats, and bunnies. This couple is making a difference in so many lives, both human and animals. The horses are beautifully groomed and their ranch is pristine from all their exhaustive efforts. I would highly recommend to anyone to make donations to this worthy cause.

I became associated with the Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue years ago when I needed to find a good home for my beautiful Arabian mare. That is when I met Tricia Freeman and her husband who rescued my mare and gave her a wonderful home. Freeman Arabian Ranch Rescue gives all their horses and their other animals that they own unconditional love and care. I will always appreciate everything they have done for me and all the good they have done for all animals.

Volunteering at the Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue was a treat for me and a learning experience for my granddaughter. Our hosts Tricia and Jeff greeted us with smiles and took us around to introduce us to every horse, dog, cat, and rabbit. While we mucked the stalls and paddock areas Tricia was kind enough to explain why she never rides, leases or sells any of her rescues. She also explained what it takes to maintain good health and well being of all the animals in their care. This warmed my granddaughter's heart as she hung on Tricia's every word (my granddaughter has a soft spot for all God's creatures). It was as hard of work as I remember from my horse ownership days and an eye-opener for the granddaughter (she is dreaming of owning a horse one day). The weekend flew by and it was time to leave the smell of clean stalls, horses, dogs, cats, a rabbit and our new found friends at the Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue behind. We can't thank our hosts enough for their willingness to share a small part of their lives with us including taking care of the animals under their care. We definitely will be visiting again.

I practiced my Equissage massage sequence at Freeman Arabian Ranch & Rescue and I must say the owners are awesome people. Not only did they let me practice on the sanctuary horses they also went above and beyond to help me get my certification. They are truly kind people. It is a beautiful property that is meticulously maintained . The horses there get the best of care and it shows. I think one of the most impressive aspects of this sanctuary is the fact that they have it set up so that all the animals will live with the exact high quality of care for the duration of their lives regardless.

Jeffery and Tricia Freeman of Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue are two of the hardest working, and caring individuals I have ever encountered. Their love and passion for animals and the well being of animals is second to none. They are compassionate and put forth quality work for the animals they take in, the treats or snacks that they make and sell to benefit the ranch. I have seen first hand the love put into the treats they've created. The care and love they have for their animals is truly amazing. They play so many roles and don't stop working, for the benefit of the many wonderful animals they have saved. They are always looking into ways to make the lives of those they've helped better. Advocating, researching, laboring, etc. Whatever needs to be done, they will do it without second guessing or regrets. Please support their Rescue Ranch, their are many wonderful animals that are in need of their assistance and their doors and hearts are always open.

I have spent a few years helping Freeman Arabian Ranch and Rescue by volunteering my time by helping out where it was needed when I can. I don't really have the ability to donate money, but I volunteer my time and effort for a reason. I love the way they treat the animals with respect and dignity. They also pamper them, which is something the animals have probably never had until they came to this rescue. They spend countless hours and go above and beyond at taking caring of the animals. I am an animal lover and I support this rescue 100% and would drop whatever I was doing if they needed help. Thank you for letting me be a part of this great rescue. I hope what I have contributed helps the animals as much as possible.

They are great people that take excellent care of all of their Rescue Animals and also try to help other Animals in need by either educating or helping the owners with hopes they will be able to keep their pet or taking them in to their Rescue if possible or finding other Rescues to assist in placement of the animal. They are very dedicated in helping and rescuing animals and will help anybody if possible!

I have volunteered with this group and I've witnessed how much they care and love all the animals living there. They do more than just provide a secure place to live, they make them part of their family and give them a chance to thrive.
This amazing place is run by Jeff and Tricia Freeman, a lovely and hardworking couple devoted to rescue animals and advocate for their rights.
They do so much for animals that other people reject due to medical conditions, physical limitations, and discriminated dog breeds.
