Canham Farm is not your typical horse rescue. Yes, we rescue horses from neglect and abuse but we are also committed to reducing the greatest amount of suffering for the largest number of horses through advocacy, education and, when possible, exposing cruelty and prosecuting abusers.
Utilizing a CONSENT – TRUST – CONNECTION™ (CTC) approach to each horse’s training and rehabilitation, whether their trauma is physical, emotional or both, we provide negected, unwanted and captured wild horses the chance of a better future.

American Horses Need Your Help
The Bureau of Land Management has plans to round up 20,000 wild horses each year. Many companies contracted to round up these national icons use inhumane methods such as chasing them with helicopers and driving them into temporary corrals. These horses suffer injuries, emotional trauma and sometimes death.
“The more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to the
protection by man from the cruelty of man.”
Serif (shown right) is just one of the 200,000 unwanted horses in the United States. Most discarded horses are either seniors, those with chronic illnesses that need medication and care daily or have outlived their purpose. Many horses are seen as disposable, passed from owner to owner many of which use abusive training methods that cause both physical and emotional trauma.
