Our Vision

A state free of equine abuse and neglect.

Our Mission

To rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home God’s neglected or abused equine through programs of shelter, adoption, education, and assistance.

Our History

Established in 1999 by Nina Margetson, Horse Haven of Tennessee, Inc. (HHT) was created to address the critical need for advocacy and care for neglected and abused equines across Tennessee. Recognizing a significant gap in equine welfare, HHT was founded to serve as a dedicated resource for these animals.

Since its inception, HHT has provided care to over 1,300 horses and has grown to become the largest nonprofit equine welfare organization in the state. The organization plays a vital role in supporting law enforcement by facilitating the transportation and care of horses involved in criminal abuse and neglect cases.

While these cases are adjudicated, HHT ensures that the horses receive comprehensive care. The commitment of staff and volunteers is fundamental to the organization's operations, enabling the daily care and rehabilitation of these animals.
