(ERAF) is a Not-For-Profit 501(c)3 organization devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation, retraining, and adoption of at-risk horses. Our mission is simple: we save horses. We are the new beginning for horses who have been neglected and abused by their owners and are in desperate need of help. They come to us broken in spirit and without a safe home. They come to us abused. They come to us ill and ho

peless. The story is repeated time and again. But with our hard work, your generosity, and a loving new home they can once again be healthy horses that are filled with life and promise. Our work is often filled with unspeakable sadness as these once upon a time majestic horses that have been abused, starved, and left unwanted come through our gates. Each comes with his or her own sad story and sometimes we rescue them when they are literally at death’s door. Then comes that amazing part of our work. We invest large amounts of our time, our hearts, and money rehabilitating each horse that finds its way to our property. We provide them with the care, medicine, nutrition, training, and love that brings them back to a full and productive life. In order to accomplish our mission, we rely on donations from you. In order to get the work done, we rely on volunteers who give their time. In order to find homes for these horses, we rely on our adopters.

As we close out 2024, we'd like to take a moment to express our gratitude to our community. Our staff, volunteers, donors, adopters, partners, and enthusiastic supporters.

In 2024, we welcomed 15 horses through our healing gates and celebrated 10 horses finding their adoptive homes. We cannot do this without you.

2025 will be ERAF's 25th year in rescue. Your continuing support allows us to provide the rescue and rehabilitation efforts that transform our horses's futures and write their next chapter. Together, we turn their heartbreak into hope and recovery. Your support is not just a gift; it’s a lifeline for these deserving souls.

Thank you for supporting ERAF.
We wish you a happy and wonderful New Year!

In doing so, you are supporting the care of horses like Prince, Reason, and Lucy - all recent arrivals to ERAF.

Prince, we have discovered, is *not* gelded but is a cryptorchid (in other words, his “jewels” are not descended. 😬) He requires a special surgical procedure that will ensure his best future.

Reason had en eye removal due to a severe bacterial infection and is currently recovering.

Lucy is being treated for laminitis requiring special pads and veterinary attention to get her on the path to healing.

All these precious souls are deserving of a life free of fear, pain, and uncertainty. At ERAF, we work diligently to provide the love and care they need to heal so they may go on to their in loving adoptive homes.

But we cannot do that without your support. 💚

💚 ADOPTION ALERT 💚
It’s an extra special for longtime resident Emma who lucked out with TWO new moms!
Megan, and her mom, Kristy, showered this deserving mare with their love and attention and as a result, we watched this often-stoic mare positively bloom. 🌸 It may take time, but we believe that there is a person (or two!) for every horse.
We could not be happier for Emma, Megan, and Kristy - it’s a perfect match. 🥰

This giving season, consider a gift to .🎁

Meet Reason To Smile. Reason was suffering from a bacterial infection in his eye and facing an uncertain future. Beloved and well-known with staff at Palm Beach Equine Clinic they stepped in and asked for ERAF's help with this gentle, former therapy horse.
And so we did.
His infected eye was removed by Dr. Smith and Reason was then transported to ERAF to begin his recovery. He is an extremely lovely boy and we are all smitten.
Horses like Reason deserve a second chance and we are only able to give him that with your support.
As you shop this holiday season, please consider a gift to help us help horses like Reason.
You can make your tax-deductible donation at www.eraf.org/donations/donationform/

This is what we do. We cannot do it without you. 💚

About Us

The Equine Rescue and Adoption Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides a new beginning for at-risk horses with proper care, rehabilitation and retraining. Founded in 2000 by a group of concerned horse enthusiasts, ERAF has rescued over 320 horses and completed nearly 300 successful adoptions.

Horses are rescued from a variety of dangerous situations including abuse, abandonment, left without food or water in fallow pastures, slaughter-bound, and hoarding situations. We work closely with Law Enforcement and Animal Care and Control agencies. Our staff and volunteers work diligently to rehab and retrain horses so they may go on to their next chapter in adoptive homes.

There are so many success stories to share that are the joyful endings to sad beginnings. ERAF has developed a reputation as a reliable source for adoptable horses that have been thoroughly rehabilitated and retrained, who are now ready for their new forever home.

We receive no government assistance and are supported by the generosity of private and corporate donations and foundation grants.
