Horse Haven of Tennessee is a leading equine welfare organization dedicated to rescuing abused and neglected horses throughout the state. In collaboration with local law enforcement and state agriculture investigators, we play a critical role in the rescue and rehabilitation of these animals. Additionally, we supply evidence of abuse and neglect to assist in legal proceedings.

Upon the conclusion of court cases, and once horses are released into our care, we ensure they are rehabilitated to a healthy state before facilitating their adoption into new homes. We also offer support programs for horse owners experiencing financial hardship.

For a comprehensive overview of our programs and services, please visit the "What We Do" section of our website.

An equine is a member of the horse family. Equines include horses, ponies, miniature horses, donkeys, mules, and hinnies.

In the state of Tennessee, equine are defined as livestock so a report must be made through the state agriculture department. Please visit our 'How to Report Abuse or Neglect' page for more information.

At present, we are unable to accept owner surrenders. Our resources are fully dedicated to our core mission of collaborating with law enforcement and state agriculture investigators to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abused and neglected equines throughout Tennessee. Due to current constraints on resources and space, we are unable to accommodate owner surrenders at this time. We appreciate your understanding and support.

We are continually seeking passionate individuals interested in joining our volunteer team.
