About Us
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. was established as a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization in 1987 and we are in our 36th year of saving horses. We are Broward County, Florida's oldest and largest horse rescue, and its only equine sanctuary. Our mission is to provide a permanent safe haven for all horses that are asymptomatic carriers of Equine Infectious Anemia in Florida, as well as to offer help to any horse in immediate need of assistance in the tri county area. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. provides sanctuary to all horses we accept, and does not buy, sell, trade or give away horses. Nor do we euthanize healthy horses to take in new horses. Instead, we offer a lifetime of sanctuary so these animals will never need help again. Our priority is to prevent the needless destruction of horses. Our financial goal is to acquire sustainable funding to provide these noble animals with the dignity of allowing them to live out their lives while meeting both their physical and psychological needs.
