Where there's always lots of horseplay!
Horse Play is a Rhode Island based 501(c)3 non-profit Horse Rescue and Sanctuary that provides rescue, rehabilitation, sanctuary and adoption for abused, neglected, unwanted, and/or slaughter bound horses.
Many horses come to Horse Play because their owners can no longer afford to keep them, some owners may not have the skills or knowledge to provide the proper care, children may outgrow or lose interest in them, and others are just considered disposable, if the horse isn't winning it goes to auction.
Most of these horses also have health and/or behavior problems. We use humane, communication-oriented teaching methods in our training/retraining, we provide quality vet care, feed and lots of love.
Some horses are eventually placed in approved adoptive homes. Those horses who are deemed unadoptable live out the rest of their lives at
Horse Play.
Since 1999, we have helped over 370 equines.
