About us
Auction Horses Rescue is a 501c3 organization, based out of Santa Clarita, CA. Founded in January 2012, after attending the first, of what became many, Southern California auctions. Confronted with the sight of so many unwanted and discarded horses, a high percentage of which were Thoroughbred ex-racehorses, we started off with the aim of identifying and reuniting these animals with those who might have once cared for them. Since then, we have built a large audience of horse lovers who watch us daily on Facebook. Through networking, donations and offers of fosters and forever homes, we have been able to rescue, re-home and rehabilitate countless numbers of horses in the short 18 months we have been operating. Seventy -one of the horses were ex racers that were identified by the tattoo on their upper lip. These horses are in particular danger of landing in Mexico or Canada on a slaughter truck and the older Thoroughbred broodmares have becomes somewhat of a passion for us here at AHR.
We work with other rescue organizations when possible and have also helped a number of horses from Central and Northern California Auctions, as well as neighboring states, venturing often alone.
Auction Horses Rescue supports the continued existence of horse auctions, as without them, a valuable tool for finding and identifying horses would be lost. Without these auctions, many of these horses would go from backyard to feed lot to Mexico-bound slaughter truck, with little hope of rescuers having the chance to intervene and deliver them to safety.

Jean S. asked:Does anyone know of a reputable local horse charity (therapeutic riding, rescue or otherwise) that accepts used tack donations? Nothing fancy, some wraps, older blankets, longe line, saddle pads, etc. Things that are well used but serviceable.

Shannon D. replied:Auction Horses Rescue/Megan doesn't know what happened to him, she stopped bidding at $400, & he came in with a load from a horse trader. So the family he went to wasn't the one who brought him to auction, but they did rehome him.... Have you contacted the people who are supposed to have him??
