FAQ
Why did we create Angel Horses Inc.?
The horses who inspired the creation of Angel Horses retirement sanctuary have excelled in taking care of many people; children who have been abused, some who live with cancer or other serious illnesses, adults who are dealing with life altering accidents or illness and some people who may just need encouragement.
We are a group of individuals dedicated to ensuring that these horses receive the love and care that they so richly deserve. The horses continue to be involved in the teaching and enrichment of the lives of many people.
