Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe environment for unwanted, neglected and "at risk" horses in order to prevent as many as possible from suffering or going to slaughter. We rehabilitate them when possible and find "permanent lease" homes for them. We also promote non-cruelty to animals by focusing efforts on raising awareness and providing information to the public concerning the nature and proper care of horses and the plight these animals often face.
What We Stand For
Begin Again Horse Rescue, Inc. is a temporary place of rest and recuperation for horses found to be neglected or abused. Located in Lima, New York, our founding members have many years invested in the care and well-being of their own animals. We do not sell horses, but facilitate the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of those animals in our care. We strive to find as many loving, informed homes for as many horses as possible. We are volunteer run and operate solely on donations. When space allows, we will accept horses in any condition who are surrendered by private owners, through county animal control facilities and by purchasing kill-pen horses from livestock auctions. We focus our attention on horses within a two hour radius of the farm.
