(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.

It’s and we could not be more thankful for our recently purchased Kubota Tractor Corporation RTV and tractor. Our previous equipment served us well but was long overdue for replacement. Our unending thanks to Kim Florida Coast Equipment for his exemplary service! 🤩 He walked us through everything, took time to answer our questions, and made sure we had the right equipment to meet our needs AND budget.
Thank you, Kim!
The smiling faces of our team say it all. ☺️

It’s and we have a happy story to uplift your day!

Some things require explanation. As was the case when Barn Manager Hillary’s horse, Reebo, first encountered our donkey, Jerry. 🫏😅
It took Reebo some time to buy into this whole donkey idea, 😏 but this unlikely pair have become the best of friends.
We are thrilled to announce that Hillary (and Reebo) have made it official and adopted Jerry into the family! 🥳🥳
We are so thrilled for this trio and wish them many happy days together.

Thank you to these artists for sharing their talent and love for art with us!

On this please join us in welcoming Sweet Judy Blue! 💙
True to her name, this 4yo is as kind as they come. She has completed her quarantine period and had her initial intake exam with our veterinary team.
We are giving her a little time to settle in and just be a horse then we’ll take the next steps in getting her back under saddle.
For now, she is quite enjoying making new friends! ☺️💚

Special thanks to her connections and to for their help in facilitating Sweet Judy Blue’s . 💚

It’s and we have Reason To Smile…that is a horse by that name who has been adopted! 🥳
This former therapeutic riding horse arrived in late November after having an eye removed due to a bacterial infection. His gentle, calm nature made his recovery a breeze.

He captured all of our hearts but none quite like Heidi’s. 💝
Congratulations to Heidi and Reason! We wish you many happy days together!

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.
