Love this Horse, Equine Rescue Inc.

Love this Horse, Equine Rescue Inc. "Love This Horse, Equine Rescue Inc." is a 501(c)(3) Arabian horse rescue located in Southern California. We believe that every horse deserves a job.

is a horse rescue specializing in taking in forgotten, neglected and abused Arabian horses from local animal shelters, distressed owners, and from local horse auctions. We bring them into a safe and nurturing environment, where they are brought back to health are gentled and loved. When the horses are strong enough, they are evaluated by Vera and Eileen, and if possible, restarted for a new life a

s a riding horse. For some of our horses, this means becoming a great trail or lesson horses. Others are destined to become therapy horses, helping kids and adults healing from their own deep wounds. We work hard to take care of these horses, all the while knowing that the horses are secretly taking care of us.

🌸 MEET ELSIE: A Beautiful Arabian Mare Ready to Shine! 🌸
Looking for an athletic, elegant partner with a wonderful foundation? Meet Elsie, a beautiful 7-to-10-year-old mare standing at 15.2 hands who is almost ready to find her perfect person! We see Elsie’s potential as an endurance horse, but she could be a dressage prospect as well. Why not both?!?

Elsie is suspected to be a registered Arabian, and she truly showcases the beauty, intelligence, and athletic capability of the breed. (We have mailed in her DNA test to the Arabian Horse Association.) She is currently in active training at the ranch, and we are incredibly proud of the progress she is making every day.

Because she has plenty of athletic talent and is continuing to build her confidence, Elsie will thrive best with a confident rider who can help her unlock her full potential and finish her training under saddle. If you love true horsewoman or horseman partnership, Elsie is it!

is the funniest sweet horse! She is more like a puppy than a horse. We raised her since she came to us as an orphan foal. Starting to ride has all been just a game to her and she goes along with everything. Today she had her first trail ride and she did not want to go back home, she wanted to stay on trail. 💕

Andy on trail. He is learning fast! We rode him out with Ballerina and he was the perfect gentleman. (Andy was gelded only six months ago.)

is worth her weight in gold! She is such a steady horse with such impeccable trail manners!

🐴🐴 Behind the Scenes: Public Expectations vs. Our 24-Hour Reality 🐴💼
Because our rescue has a large public footprint—rescuing, training, and adopting out dozens of horses—many people assume that the Director is a full-time, salaried employee. They imagine someone whose only job is to manage the ranch, cater to visitors, coordinate volunteers, and answer every single email with perfect, instant memory.

Here is the real reality. Running this 100+ horse rescue is what I do in my “spare time.” My actual day job is a highly demanding, high-stress, full-time career in a law enforcement-related field. That career is more than a full-time job on its own, and it is what financially keeps our gates open.
When people send an email, they expect a flawless corporate response. In reality, checking our inbox is done entirely on a cell phone between ranch chores, running from point A to point B, or sitting in my car in the parking lot immediately after getting off work before driving back to the ranch.

We receive as many as 100 emails a day. When you are processing that volume of text on a small screen in the middle of feeding horses or handling law enforcement duties, things get dropped. I am human. I sometimes forget a detail you mentioned three emails ago, or I might ask a clarifying question about something you already submitted.
We simply cannot provide a curated, white-glove “Nordstrom” type of customer experience.

It is a physical impossibility with our workload and our resources. We are not a corporate business; we are a small team putting every single ounce of our physical and mental energy into saving the lives of unhandled and neglected horses.

If you are looking to adopt or connect with us, please meet us with grace, patience, and realistic expectations. The time we spend responding to messages is time stolen from sleep or manual labor. Our focus will always be the safety and care of the animals in our paddocks.

After three long, patient years of hard work, we have a monumental milestone to celebrate: Comet is finally under saddle and out on the trail!

Comet’s journey to this moment is nothing short of a miracle. Registered under the official name MY HALEYS COMET (AHR*660179), he was bred by an Alkhamsa breeder in Washington State. His bloodlines were originally bred for racing. Sadly, his quality didn’t protect him—he was dumped and sent through a terrifying loose horse auction in February 2023. When he arrived at our rescue, he was completely unhandled, deeply traumatized, and shut down.

But here is the most unbelievable, full-circle twist: years before Comet went through that auction block, his own mother was dumped and sent through the exact same horse auction. She was rescued, turned into an absolutely amazing riding horse, and was adopted by a local veterinarian!

It has taken our small team three full years of gentle groundwork, rehabilitation, and patience to help Comet overcome his trauma. It was a slow road, but he has learned to completely trust people, and his incredibly sweet, loving personality has finally come out.

Today, at 13 years old and standing a proud 15 hands tall, Comet is proving that no horse is a lost cause. He has a wonderful life ahead of him, and seeing him relaxed and moving forward on the trail is the ultimate reward for our rescue work. Progress isn’t fast, and it isn’t always perfect—but horses like Comet are exactly why we do what we do.

A special thank you to all of our monthly donors because you make this work possible! 💕

We are located between Rosamond and Tehachapi, CA.

👉 Please SHARE Comet’s beautiful full-circle story to show the power of patience and a second chance! ❤️
