Home at Last Farm

Our mission is simple. To do big things for little horses. We either work with our community to rescue/take in horses whose owners have fallen on hard times or we try to intercept miniature horses at a few different points in the unwanted horse/slaughter pipeline (ideally before they end up at an auction). We then rehabilitate them, love them and get them ready for their forever homes.
