It is the mission of the Horse Protection Society of North Carolina, Inc. to make the world a better place for horses through education, rescue, and rehabilitation. HPS provides a sanctuary of last resort for unwanted, neglected, and abused equines.
Founded in 1991 by Joan B. Benson and incorporated in 1999, HPS continues to reach out and to grow. HPS is a fully incorporated 501(c)3, approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit organization.
The Horse Protection Society maintains the first equine sanctuary in North Carolina to provide permanent retirement care for neglected equines. The sanctuary is available for people who can no longer afford to care for their equines.
The Horse Protection Society generally harbors 40-45 horses. Some are presently recovering from starvation and abuse. Many have completed rehabilitation and are awaiting new homes while others are permanent residents of the sanctuary.
The Horse Protection Society are building an indoor training arena to help us rehabilitate and recondition the rescued horses. This arena will be an integral part in ensuring our horses find homes and they need help! They are asking anyone who would like to help to please make a one-time donation of $10 to help them to complete this project.
