Horses Have More Than Horse Power

Help change a child's life with the help of a horse at Save the Horses Rescue Farm located in northwest Forsyth County.


A child hugs a stuffed animal to comfort her. A real animal gives more comfort, especially when it's a horse!

Horses are naturally social and want to interact with whom ever they are with, horse or human or both. Children enjoy interacting as well and interacting with horses brings such empowerment to children, it changes their lives. 

This is why we started our Barn Buddy program for children in foster care and adopted children, too. Imagine what goes on in the mind of a child, living and trying to fit into a permanent or temporary family situation. Some children have abandonment issues; trust issues, fear, and blame themselves for their situation. Horses help children deal and overcome these fears and problems.
