Mississippihorses.org is an online community dedicated to assisting horse rescue organizations and law enforcement agencies across our state in rehabilitating and finding homes for abused and abandoned horses. We provide information to horse owners so they can make an educated choice for their horses when they are no longer able to keep them. Our network includes volunteers from the Humane Society, veterinarians and their assistants, horse rescue organizations, trainers, riders and horse lovers of all kinds. From retirees to middle school students, we all share one thing - a love for these magnificent animals. The purpose and mission of our web site is to assist equine rescue organizations in their efforts to find homes for their horses and to bring awareness to the problems and issues facing horses in our state. 

 

   
   

Special Events & Projects

    Sponsoring a horse is a wonderful way to help if you have limited time, space or finances. You can be a part of a specific horse's life while it waits for its forever home or sponsor one that is a permanent resident at the Muleshoe Ranch Sanctuary in Carroll County. For more information on how to sponsor a horse click here.

back at last year, it's hard to believe so many great and wonderful

horses have come in and out of our lives. We are grateful to everyone

save these horses.
