Our Mission
At Equine Outreach Horse Rescue, we believe that every horse deserves respect, dignity, love, and compassionate care. Based in Bend, OR, we accept as many abused, neglected, medically compromised, senior, and equines with uncertain futures as we can. From there, we focus on providing top-grade medical care, rehabilitation, positive training, and all the love, hugs, and TLC we can give. Some horses become sanctuary horses or hospice horses who remain in our care, while others are carefully and meticulously adopted or fostered out into loving homes.
Volunteer Opportunities
We have a number of different volunteer opportunities available - there is something for everyone who loves horses, even those that may not be in a position to volunteer on the ground!

- Horse Care volunteers: Supporting our ranch manager and volunteer team in feeding, watering, medicating, grooming and mucking.
