California Horse Rescue Organizations Directory

Located in Pinon HIlls, CA, we are an equine rescue organization specializing in off-track Thoroughbreds. Our goal is to save as many horses from the possibility of slaughter as we can.

Some of our horses come directly from the track when their racing careers are over, while others have been purchased at auction to keep them out of the hands of kill buyers. Some have been surrendered to us by owners who can no longer care for their horses properly and want to avoid sending them to auction. However they come into our care, they are all loved and taken care of, regardless of condition.

Many horses coming from the track have been injured and need layup time to heal, then rehabilitation to get back into shape. No matter how long it takes, we will do everything we can to get these athletes back in shape so they can become companion or show horses to the best of their ability!

Our goal is to find loving homes for the horses who come into our care. A few special horses have found their way into our hearts and will stay with us forever. You are welcome to sponsor one of them so that we can devote more resources to horses in need.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all horses, thereby improving the lives of people through their bond with the horses. We are committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of equines suffering from abuse, as well as the successful retirement of working equines. We strive to improve public awareness and knowledge regarding the standards of care necessary to insure the health and safety of all equines.

Sadly, the thoroughbred and quarter horse racing industry are the largest "throwaway" groups of the entire horse industry.

Thousands of thoroughbred and quarterhorses foals are born every year in the hopes that a few may have a great money winning career on the track.

Horses are raced at the very early age of 2 years of age, and many are finished during and after that first year.

They will be injured on the track or they are just not fast enough. 90% of them will be discarded in one way or the other...

"I have been working for a horse racing farm for a long time and even if the care and training was all about the horses, the pressure from the customers was hard to withstand.

Once injured or not fast enough, more than I can mention the owners called us up and asked us 'to get rid of it'. Or they just stopped paying for board and care and the farm was faced with supporting the horse's needs.

That's why I decided to give these beautiful animals a new future and opened up
Silver Lakes Horse Rescue Inc., right here in the heart of the High Desert of California, where I live.

Our goal is to give as many horses the chance for re-training and finding a new home.

Through dedication and hard work and the help of my husband Dan, my family, friends and community, as well as your donations our focus is to re-train for a new career in a loving caring setting."
