Equine Safe Haven at SaddleHawk Ranch
New Non-Profit
Equine Safe Haven located at SaddleHawk Ranch is dedicated to saving horses from going to slaughter and using them for educational purposes.
The horses are purchased from Bowie, Texas - some with the help of a rescue, and they will then arrive at SaddleHawk Ranch for rehabilitation. After initial evaluation, they are either retired or put into light service to educate people on horsemanship and on how to drive.
Most of the horses are fully trained American Trotters or Amish bred driving horses. Through no fault of their own, they were found in a holding sale barn, waiting for the truck to come take them across the border to be slaughtered in Mexico. This happens by the thousands in the USA (see USDA for statistics). The older or injured, they eventually make their way down to Texas to be sold to slaughter.
Equine Safe Haven works with another rescue and will purchase these horses from Bowie, Texas - the horses that are on the ship list to slaughter, sometimes hours away from getting on the truck.

Project Incubate - Farrier
Update: Welcome Sean Morrison to the Ranch!
Sean joined up July 18th, and he is quickly becoming a favorite with the animals, especially during feeding time! Sean is learning all about our equines, chickens and people associated with them. Look here for updates or follow us on Instagram and Facebook for our current events.
Our mission is to have graduates of horseshoeing schools work in the Farrier trade, at our ranch, and in the area, for clients. We are located in the Akela/Deming New Mexico area.
We hope to "incubate" the next generation, invest in the younger generation and in turn they will "pay it forward" and do the same.
We offer financial assistance (Tuition, board, books, living expenses, tools/equipment) in exchange for commitment to work a year as our employee. If initiative is shown, we will also help set up your farrier business if you wish to venture out on your own after the year of employment.
To find out more about our program, please contact us directly at 575-592-8521, to learn more. We will take only those applicants that are SERIOUS about learning a life skill/trade that can be very lucrative, rewarding and have the ability to work in many locations.
