Hope for Horses is a non-profit equine rescue located in Leicester, NC. Hope for Horses was established in 1998 to provide permanent placement alternatives for the equine population of Western North Carolina. The need became more apparent as more and more horses were left abandoned, neglected and abused. Hope for Horses was given life largely due to the services of Dr. Ann Stuart and Dr. Ted Wrigh

t of Appalachian Equine Veterinary Service, located in Weaverville, North Carolina. Their never-ending support provides the necessary medical care for horses donated to the program. The additional support of approximately sixty-five dedicated volunteers and numerous local contributors enables this dream to continue. Hope for Horses also offers solutions for equine owners in need of help through our HorseMatch Program. Many of these horses are in excellent condition, but in most cases due to their ages or certain limitations and their owners are just wanting good homes for them. While we believe there is a time and a place for euthanasia, we are steadfast in our belief that every horse deserves a safe and happy retirement whenever possible.

🦁❤️Happy Adoption Day, Lion❤️🦁

Thank you to Jason and Ashley Whitener! Lion Heart will be a pasture mate to "Goldie" a 27-year old mare who also has Cushing's and has foundered. There was no hesitation with the adopters providing the care that Lion will need, not to mention their 15-year old daughter fell in love with him and will be spoiling him rotten. Another special adoption and amazing family willing to take on a horse that has special needs💞

Our Story

Hope for Horses is a non-profit equine rescue located in Leicester, NC. We work with animal control groups in several WNC counties. Hope for Horses was established in 1999 to provide permanent placement alternatives for the equine population of Western North Carolina. The need became more apparent as more and more horses were left abandoned, neglected and abused. A long-term dream of founder Whitney Wright, Hope for Horses was given life largely due to the services of Dr. Ann Stuart of Appalachian Animal Hospital, located in Weaverville, North Carolina. Their never-ending support provides the necessary medical care for horses donated to the program. The additional support of many dedicated volunteers and numerous local contributors enables this dream to continue. Hope for Horses also offers solutions for equine owners in need of help through our Horse Match Program. Many of these horses are in excellent condition, but in most cases due to their ages or certain limitations and their owners are just wanting good homes for them. While we believe there is a time and a place for euthanasia, we are steadfast in our belief that every horse deserves a safe and happy retirement whenever possible.
