Equine rescue refers to the process of saving, rehabilitating, and rehoming horses, ponies, donkeys, and other equines that have been abused, neglected, abandoned, or are at risk. Organizations and individuals involved in equine rescue provide shelter, medical care, and training to help these animals recover and find safe, permanent homes.
