Canham Farm Horse Rescue is not your typical Horse Rescue or Horse Rehabilitation Facility. We rescue and help end the suffering of abused, neglected, slaughter-bound horses, and rescue and advocate for our nation’s wild horses. 

We are 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.

For the horses in our care, we rehabilitate, train and endeavor to re-home as well as educate humans to interact with horses in a way that will benefit both horse and human.

Every Horse Deserves a Future

Canham Farm Horse Rescue believes that all horses deserve a future, and by building trust, re-educating, retraining and understanding, they can be re-homed to suitable people and have a long, happy and useful life.

Educating People to Interact Successfully With Horses

Horses can be complicated and confusing. There are so many things to learn and remember, and so much often conflicting information available, that it can be difficult to know where to turn. We are here to help and would far prefer an owner to ask if they are not sure about something. This could be anything from knowing how to help a new horse settle in, to admitting that you’re struggling to cope or difficulty meeting the financial burden of horse ownership. Please stay tuned for upcoming programs and events.
