My story is that of a single small rescue that went above and beyond to give a loving hand to animals because they simply cared. I stumbled across 2 horses that were so emaciated and starved that they were in more need and care then just some feed. I called numerous rescues in Central Florida and Orlando and was told over and over no! My heart sank. I had absolutely no knowledge nor space on my property to bring these 2 animals back to health. I thought by the grace of a higher power and hope and prayer this one last rescue was my last hope in saving 2 horses. I places a call and a kind sweet angel answered the phone. She said she was at max capacity but get her some info and photos and she will see what she can do. There was no such “no” in that conversation. My spirits bounced to the moon and back! There was a ounce of hope. Susanna called me back and told me she is full but sometimes just because you are full that there is always an animal in need and she would open her rescue to help. I began to cry, novitiate did to get the owner to surrender them was my next step. Speaking to Susanna daily, I hustled to get everything needed and transportation arrangements made to save these 2 innocent animals. With in a week I hand loaded 2 frightened horses into a trailer and headed to the rescue S & P stables. As I pulled into the property I was greeted with a smile and the generous owner of S&P Stables, Susanna. She was recently injured but that did not stop her from doing everything possible to care and foster 30 plus 2 new rescues. With in a few weeks I would continue to speak to Susanna and she constantly sent photos and gave me updates. Upon my continued efforts to find out where things went wrong for the two rescues I discovered they were true Thoroughbred horses who won races and were discarded like trash. S&P Stables never cared about their winnings but their health and care was a winning greater then every when they landed on in Susanna’s rescue. I am forever grateful for the love, care and diligence S&P Stable has provided for the rescues. I can’t think of a more deserving non profit to be honored the them. They are truly a blessing!
Highly recommend this rescue. Susanna, her husband Phil, and her team put everything they have into ensuring that tossed away horses have a safe, happy, Secure, and healthy life after they end up there. I’ve had many direct interactions and seen the farm first hand. Absolute top notch!!
Susanna and Phillip put their all into this place. They care about the horses and want them to have a great forever home! Very dedicated
After losing my first horse in 2019 I bought my second heart horse and she sustained an injury leaving us out of showing for MONTHS with my retired horse not able to keep up I decided it would be best to get a new horse I looked for months on end until I stumbled across this little pally and boy was she an eye catcher after messaging Susanna who I’d known about 4 years about her it was decided I was going to get this little mare in the matter of a week we went and picked her up from s&p the rescue is absolutely beautiful and you can tell the horses absolutely love it there. the wide open pastures the horses always so friendly just walking up to you waiting to be greeted. By far the best rescue I’ve been to and I’m proud to say I’ve adopted a rescue horse from S&P stables:)
Absolutely love Susanna and S&P. This woman deserves all the accolades possible for the things she accomplishes and the love and care she gives.
I would recommend this rescue without a doubt! The knowledge and pure love S&P stables has for horses is amazing! These horses are taken from deplorable conditions and shown what life is like when you are loved and appreciated! Communication between the owner and clients is great! All my questions were answered anytime, even late at night! If you are looking for a rescue horse, you have came to the right place!
When I went to this rescue looking for horses I quickly realized that the owners Suzanne and Phil Raymond we’re not just running a rescue these horses were a part of their family that they loved and they want wants only best for the horses. I have seen The owners give up many things to take care of these majestic animals. I highly recommend this wonderful home that they call a rescue. The picture of the pony and the 2 little girls are on a horse I was blessed with from S&P Rescue. They are honest and And will tell you the life history of the horse as much as they know. I highly recommend this rescue.
I recently got a rescue from S&P rescue,She is absolutely wonderful, their place is immaculate the horses are loved and well cared for, my experience was absolutely wonderful. I got a beautiful little Filly, that is very special.They put their heart and soul into the beautiful animals they have there, And work very hard to find a home for each horse, it can be a thankless job and heart wrenching at times, but they’re up for the challenge, and every horse receives so much love and attention ,I will also continue to try to support them in anyway I can, They work very hard and they do a wonderful job, thank you so much for my beautiful baby.
S P Stables Inc is an amazing nonprofit organization that helps the community to provide care for rescue horses. And cares for them like their own personal horses/animals. Brings them back to health and stability then finds them forever homes. And I am truly grateful.
My wife and I went to visit S P Stables to see about adopting a horse and we fell in love with Cinnamon, she is 8 years old and only has one eye. Susanna (rescue owner) is very kind and all she wants is to take care of some 30 plus horses all on donations. I don't know how she does it, we try and help out with feed, hay and whatnot but she is so overwhelmed. This is one of the very best horse rescues out there that wants nothing but the best for these creatures. God bless her and these wonderful animals and I strongly suggest you making a trip to see yourself.
They pour thier hearts out to help as many horses as they can.endless hours dedicated to the wellbeing
I have received two wonderful horses from S&P rescue. Both horses were in their older years and had been at the rescue for some time. We took the chance on both boys and immediately fell in love. They were everything Susanna described them as and more. We have faced some challenges where Susanna has done everything she could to help provide us with the help we needed to keep our horses. I would recommend this rescue to every single person I know and more..
Please note that the rescue has moved. The new address is...
229 Kirkwood Avenue
Pomona Park, FL 32181
I met the Raymond's when one of my clients had a horse that He no longer wanted. They did everything to rescue this horse promptly. He received complete vetting and hoof care immediately and has since been adopted to an amazing couple! Susanna spends every waking moment promoting the rescue and seeking donations. I'm now a proud member on the Board of Directors for the rescue. I also run a boarding facility that partners and provides discounts and charity events. S&P horse stable and rescue, SAVE and PROTECT, that's SUSANNA and PHIL.
I fell in love with being around horses when we lived in south Florida. When we moved to Ormond Beach, I really missed them. When I found S & P Stables and Horse Rescue, I called and offered to volunteer. It was tough for me at first to see a couple of new arrivals to the horse rescue – they were skinny and had quite a few health issues, but after just three weeks of eating high quality nutritious feed, getting medicated baths, proper vet care, and lots of love from all of us at S&P, they are thriving! Susanna and Phil have dedicated their lives to saving and helping horses. They really care and do what’s best for these beautiful creatures. Many of the horses have been adopted by loving, caring families which is a true testament to their amazing transformation at S&P. S&P is a beautiful, peaceful and clean environment, but they need your help! Any size donations are gratefully accepted. Check out their website: http://www.spstables.net/
Susanna helped me with achieving my dream of being a horse owner again. Not only did she help me find my perfect match, she even helped me with finding a place to board him which was right down the road from where I lived and found a great trainer to get him trailered over there. Susanna and Phil are amazing people doing amazing work and I am very thankful for the work they do rescuing these horses.
It was my dream, when when I retired to volunteer at a horse rescue. Luckily, I read about the work of Susanna and Phil Raymond, founders of S&P Stables and Horse Rescue. They do wonderful work with all the horses that come through the rescue, finding good adoptive homes when possible. It’s not always possible, and some horses require lifetime care at the rescue. These folks sacrifice so much of their life to helping these horses that they clearly love! I have been honored to donate and volunteer my help in their work. However, donations are always needed. The costs involved with taking care, feeding, and rehabilitation of these neglected and sometimes abused animals is huge. Their best chance for being adopted is good food, good care and training. All this cost real money. I’m grateful that I can help in some small way in this.
The owners run a tight ship with these rescued horses. They are brought in evaluated by the vet, given shots and have their feet and teeth done. That is just the beginning. They also are put on special diets according to their needs and trained according to their abilities. This is a great rescue and any horse that lands there is very lucky.
