Mission
Happy Trails Horse Rescue, located in Bend, Oregon, is dedicated to the protection of horses and their quality of life, to be free from abuse, neglect, abandonment, slaughter, or early euthanasia without just cause. While we strive to rescue those horses in need, we also provide community outreach, education and resources, such as our SURRENDER PREVENTION PROGRAM (food, physical and/or medical rehabilitation or temporary shelter) in an effort to alleviate an owners difficult choices of relinquishment or euthanasia. We believe that every equine deserves respect, love, compassion and dignity, regardless of age, health, or behavior. Hence, we pledge to do whatever we can to facilitate the ability of rescued horses to live out their lives in a safe and peaceful environment either in a new forever home or at Happy Trails for their remaining years.
