Our Mission
Dedicated to Raising Awareness and
Funds for Horses In Need
Who Supports Horse Rescue Organizations? We Do!
Many amazing, in-the-trenches, 501(c)(3) equine rescue organizations have made it their mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and find homes and lifetime sanctuaries for horses that have been neglected, abused, or abandoned. Special Horses is honored to support these rescues by running online fundraisers, helping craft grant applications, providing marketing materials, and more.
Two Important Questions to Ask Before Participating in a Fundraiser or Donating:
Q: "Can I Trust Special Horses?"
A: Yes, you can. We know that honesty and transparency is the foundation of your support, so we encourage you to verify us by clicking on the GuideStar, Candid, Great NonProfits, and The Homes for Horses Coalition logos in the Credentials section at the bottom of the page. You can also review our Annual Reports on the About page, and check our reviews and comments on social media.
Q: "Where Do My Donations Go?"
A: Our rescue organizations are given most of the money we raise, because we want the majority of your donations to help horses in need. We purposely keep our operating expenses at a minimum, and to see an exact breakdown of our income and expenses, check our Annual Reports on the About page.
Also, we are 100% volunteer run and receive no compensation for our fundraising efforts, so every fundraiser we run, every grant we write and submit on behalf of a rescue, and every flyer we create is done at no charge to the recipient organization.

Annual Fundraiser for Our Horse Rescues:
SECRET SANTA 2022
WHEN: December 1st-31st, 2022
The annual
Secret Santa for Horse Rescues is our longest-running and most-beloved fundraiser and the perfect time to help horses in need and support your favorite rescue organizations!
Horses from seven different rescues across the US have shared their letters to Santa. You can help more than one of our rescue organizations and more than one horse...the more the merrier, but even one gift - either a financial contribution or the purchase of an item - makes a huge difference. You will also receive a personal thank you from each horse you help. Join us and
truly make the season brighter for the rescue organizations that give their hearts and souls to help horses in need!
