Swingin’ D Horse Rescue

Swingin' D Horse Rescue

From slaughter to sanctuary to Happily Ever After.

Horses for Sale - the Core of America's Unwanted Horse Problem

“Horses for Sale.” It’s the first horse-related term you see when you hit the space bar after typing the word “horse” into Google’s search field. That means it’s the most often searched term in the world’s most powerful search engine. And that’s just the beginning of America’s horse problem.

Welcome to Swingin' D Horse Rescue

Swingin’ D Horse Rescue believes horses deserve to live and die with the dignity they’ve earned. Since the 1400s, when Spanish explorers roamed the plains on horseback, horses have been part the American fabric. They helped to discover and build this great nation. So how could we allow as many as 130,000 American horses to be transported across foreign borders and slaughtered for their meat?

Apply to Volunteer

We're always looking for volunteers to help care for the horses we rescue. Whether it's mucking paddocks, grooming, bathing, feeding, walking, training, we need you! Take a look at our training manual and volunteer form and see if the 'D is worthy of your precious time.

Success Stories

Here's where you can keep up with the horses we rescue from slaughter and nurse back to health. "Success" at the 'D means keeping a horse out of the slaughter pipeline. Sometimes success is sanctuary; sometimes it's reaching a hopeless horse; sometimes it's adoption.

Our Horses

We have horses available for foster and adoption. One of our primary tenets is responsible horse ownership, so we require a contract any time a horse leaves Swingin' D. It's nothing personal. If you're a responsible adopter, you won't even feel the difference.

Some of our success stories

Horse Adoption Success - Elvis
Elvis was our second rescue in February of 2017. He was also the first horse we quarantined at the Swingin' D. Recovered from EPM, his adopter boards him with us, so we get to spend quality time with him every day! We're thrilled to be part of Elvis' Happily Ever After.

It was love at first sight when Solomon met Moses, a horse we brought in as a trade for mules we rescued from slaughter. Have you ever seen a more perfect match of a boy and his soul horse? We hadn't either, but we were sure blessed to be part of this Happily Ever After.

When Harry met Paige: Harry was skin and bones when he was surrendered to us in November of 2017.
Go to Success Stories
Our neighbor fell in love with flashy and sweet Cash after we saved him from slaughter. He was one of two horses starved nearly to death by a woman who was supposed to provide quarantine. After Cash, we started QTing our own horses. Once Cash recovered at the 'D, he was adopted and is now living his Happily Ever After with our neighbor, Karen.
Emalee and Prsicilla
Priscilla came to us through Save Our Standardbreds from Slaughter, a fellow 501C3 that focuses on standardbreds discarded after their racing careers end. After traveling all the way to Oklahoma from Tennessee, Priscilla found her forever home with fearless Emalee, who earned the mare's trust within seconds of meeting her!

Zane was our first "special needs" horse. He needed someone who could commit to him, so we offered him as part of our first foster program. A couple of weeks in to her 30-day foster, Krista was able to accomplish things with Zane that no one else could. By the time the trial was up, Zane had his soul human! Another Happily Ever After.
