Every horse deserves a second chance too.

NEAHS's Equine Program rescues horses from crisis and neglect across Northeast Arkansas, and gives them a path to a safe, healthy future.

A Different Kind of Rescue

NEAHS's Equine Program focuses on horses removed from uninhabitable situations. We move horses out of crisis, provide medical care and a proper diet plan, and place them in homes or equine sanctuaries where they can live a full, healthy life.

No other county shelter in Arkansas runs an equine program like this one, part of the same organization that shelters dogs and cats.

Backed by a National Standard

NEAHS's Equine Program is a member of The Right Horse Initiative, a national collective of equine industry professionals and welfare advocates working to improve the lives of horses in transition. That partnership means our program follows recognized best practices in equine rescue and rehoming, not just good intentions.

Equine Care isn't Cheap

Feed, farrier visits, and veterinary care for a rescued horse cost far more than a typical shelter animal. Gifts made specifically to the Equine Program go directly toward the horses currently in our care.
