Nonprofit Overview

Mission: I would like to tell you a little about our rescue. We are a 501© 3 horse and livestock rescue in the north end of Terre Haute, In. We have been up and running for 3 years now. We take in equines and other livestock that has been seized by animal control or beloved pets that are victims of current economic crisis also equines that are set to go to slaughter. We want to prevent cruelty and starvation to horses, donkeys and livestock. We us the Henneke body condition scoring chart to rate the ideal body condition. This is used by many veterinarians. We have 3 mini donkeys, jennies, 5 mini horses and 2 goats that live here at the rescue. We take them to day cares, schools and nursing homes to teach people about the care animals need also to let people know what we do at the rescue. We also do open house every weekend during warm weather to let the kids and public visit our rescue and interact with the animals. We have special need adults from C.A.R.S. and Community Connection. They come out once a month to work with the minis. My husband and I run the rescue with all volunteers we have no paid employees.

Horse Shoe Equine Rescue is a wonderful organization making a positive difference in their community. Tammy Barnett is truly the heart and soul of the operation as she gives 100% to the well-being of the horses in her care. NAVS has had the honor of providing HSER with emergency funds to purchase hay when the county rescues they took in put additional strain on their already tight budget. They are definitely worthy of donors' time and resources.

Hi, We are the Allison Family ... We got a 16 old mare pony from Tammy and her husband... We was looking for a horse to help our daughter with her medical needs... I originally posted on the facebook group about the situation needed... The admin of the group had gave us info while Tammy's friend Susi talk to us ... And we adopted copper ... now named Ariel. The pony is handicapped as well but doing very well now.. We are thankful and proud owners and very glad to have met them there.... We are glad what Tammy and her husband are doing for the horses and rescuing the horses in need... We enjoyed our time while visiting...

Horse Shoe Rescue does do such a great job looking after after all the animals that they hear about that they think they can help.. Staff are so caring and so very hard working... getting not much personal time too busy looking after all the "FurBabies"
I learnt of the Rescue from friends and although I am not local to them I try to help with a donation when I can afford to... to help them manage to buy feed for all the critters..
Keep up the wonderful work Tammy...They need you..

I have volunteered at the rescue for over a year now. I'm not able to do the physical stuff, but help out in other areas. I've been riding since I was 3 yrs. old. Spent most of my childhood in a show ring or on a trail. Then trained horses for awhile. I help the abused ones learn to trust again. I can't squat like Tammy, but I have a chair in almost every pasture :). Can sit for hours under a shade tree, and just wait. There's nothing so rewarding as watching the fear and the wall, break away!
The rescue is clean! Poop is scooped daily, (in the pastures!) and water tanks are cleaned daily. No baby leaves in bad shape! They are well fed, and well loved. We try to help folks, even after they have adopted one of our babies, if they need it :) LOVE updates and that fact that many ppl who have adopted from us, stay in touch!
Horses and farm animals are more expensive than dogs or cats. So, were always trying to come up with a fund raiser.
The rescue is also a great therapy for me! I would live out there, if I could, lol.

We first hears about the rescue on the news
and we had been looking for a pony for our
Granddaughter, so when we went out there
Everyone is so caring, but the most I loved
And still do, is the way not only how they
Help horses, but the people too!, they , still
To this day, if I havre a question about
Our pony, not only are they there, but they
Never make you feel dumb! They really love
When you call, and they really take the time!
