A major part of our WHY at Peaceful Acres Horses is to give another chance, and more time to at-risk and slaughter-bound equines. After being physically, mentally and socially restored, our goal is to bring hope and value to the equines and people at PAH through loyal care, bonding, learning and companionship.
The time PAH has with the rescued equines could be weeks, months, years, or forever. To PAH, it does not matter how long the calling is, what matters is that we answer the call!
PAH Needs You, because the Rescued Equines need PAH. Together we are making a positive difference for Equines and People.
