Days End Celebrates its 20th Anniversary
You're Only 20 Once !!!

Days End Farm Horse Rescue, Inc. is a 501 c3, volunteer based, animal welfare organization. Days End Farm was established in 1989 to ensure quality care and treatment of horses through intervention, education, and outreach.

Since its beginning, Days End Farm has been a place where children and adults have found enrichment, satisfaction, sadness and purpose through helping to provide care for unwanted, abused or neglected horses. Since its inception, Days End Farm has gone from a small non-profit that sheltered only a few horses annually to a full scale well-respected national rescue and rehabilitation facility housing 50 to 70 horses at any given time. Days End Farm’s budget, and corresponding donations, have grown from $50,000 annually to over $1,200,000 in a twenty year span!

In 2008 alone, over 1200 adults and children volunteered their efforts, helping the Farm to achieve its mission. Equally as important to its successful growth has been Days End Farm's increased focus on humane education, and providing Disaster and Large Animal Rescue Services on both local and national levels. As Days End continues to grow, so has the need for adequate space required by the horses and programs. The old 18 acre farm served us well during our earlier years but was literally bursting at the seams, with every square inch in use. Finally, in 2008 we were able to find a farm that would meet the needs of the horses in our care and the programs we provide. On April 30, 2008 we made the move to our New Farm facility. Our new facility includes 58 rolling acres of grass and trees that allow the horses acres to run and play as well as providing many outbuildings that will serve the needs of our horses, volunteers, our programs and our many friends and donors!!

Days End Farm Horse Rescue is a part of The National/ International Combined Federal Campaign, affiliated with Animal Charities of America since 2004. The Farm is also a part of Charitable Choices website and satisfies their 10 Accountability Standards. Days End Farm is very proactive in regards to donors and volunteers rights to privacy and knowledge of the internal workings of the farm. Please click here for our statement on donor's rights.

Besides the "Best in America" award that Days End Farm Horse Rescue has received, Days End has also received a 4-STAR rating by from Charity Navigator for sound fiscal management. Less than a quarter of the thousands of charities that Charity Navigator has rated have received their 4-Star rating, indicating that Days End Farm Horse Rescue outperforms most charities in America in it's efforts to operate in the most fiscally way possible. This "exceptional rating from Charity Navigator defferenciates Days End Farm Horse Rescue from it's peers and proves it's worthy of the public's trust.

Your support is always needed to help care for the horses, grow existing programs,
initiate new programs, and maintain our facility.

Please help us help the horses by donating whatever you can to help !
