SWFHR is a very special place. Tina Garrett and Matt Venaleck had a dream to create a safe haven for neglected, abused, and abandoned horses and donkeys. With no paid employees and all volunteers that dream is coming true. From the first day my husband and I visited the rescue we knew we had found an endeavor we wanted to be a part of. We have seen horses come through the gates sick, starving, frightened and hopeless. Under the loving care of all at the rescue they begin to get better and hope returns to their eyes. We are proud and grateful to be a part of SWFHR.
