Mission Statement
Between 1980 and 2009 an estimated 7 million American horses have been brutally slaughtered in foreign owned slaughterhouses located in the United States. By 2007 those slaughter houses were shut down in the United states by the US legislation. But did this stop the slaughter or our American horses? Absolutely not. Since the closing of the foreign owned United States slaughter houses, an estimated 2.7 million American horses have been transported to Canada and Mexico for slaughter, which unfortunately is not illegal. Of those 2.7 million how many do you suppose use to be some one's loved and trusted companion? Could slaughter perhaps happen to YOUR HORSE? The horse you THOUGHT went to a forever and loving home? Absolutely. This happens all too often. Here is a sad fact for all of you fellow horse supporters... Approximately every five minutes an American horse is brutally slaughtered. The EPN predicts if the slaughter continues at this pace 9 million of America's horses will have been slaughtered for human consumption by year end of 2010. Did you know, that 85% of horses sent to slaughter are healthy, gentle and SOUND?! These are horses that fell victim to the bad economy, or stopped winning the big bucks at the track, even your daughter's best friend, whom you thought you sold "to a good home" more often than not, ends up in the hands of a kill buyer at some high turn over "meat" auction.

Now about Safe Haven Arabian Horse Rescue .... WE ARE A 501 (C) 3 NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION! Safe Haven Arabians, Inc. is a small team of dedicated horse enthusiast committed to saving our American horses from slaughter,abuse and neglect! Most people still believe that horses are slaughtered for glue and dog food, WRONG- they are being slaughtered in large numbers for human consumption overseas! THIS MUST STOP!!!!!!

We specialize in Arabian and off track Thoroughbred rescue. We started our privately funded rescue in November of 2008, and at our own expense! We are now very happy to announce that after two years of funding out rescue 100% out of our own pockets, that we are now government licensed non profit organization and ALL donations are now tax deductible.

We live about 60 miles from the largest slaughter auction in the US... The "New Holland (nightmare) Auction" This is the horse auction in New Holland, Pennsylvania, known as the "New Holland Killer Sale" is the biggest public horse auction east of the Mississippi and a privately owned facility. Every Monday, an average of 200-300 horses go through the sale. Half of them and sometimes more than half are bought by so-called "Killer Buyers" and will face a horrifying trip to the slaughterhouses in Canada, and Mexico at the end of each Monday. We also work closely with other wonderful rescues such as Helping Hearts Equine Rescue and the wonderful support group on ABR to save horses from the New Jersey Feedlot also known as "Camelot" in addition we take in local police neglect seizures as well as owner surrenders. Take a moment to educate yourself about the inhumane process of horse slaughter simply by simply clicking the link **WARNING** THIS VIDEO IS INSANELY GRAPHIC!!! NOT TO BE VIEWED BY THE WEAK OF HEART!!! Furthermore... what you're about to see, will haunt you forever.... Click here to proceed.

HORSE RESCUE CAN NOT HAPPEN WITH OUT YOU!!!!! Donations are very important as are loving homes! We attend the New Holland auction as often as possible to out bid the kill buyers on Arabian horses, and off the track Thoroughbreds with priority, we will also continue to pull from Camelot on a regular basis, as long as we have the room to help, WE HELP! We will use your donations to do this!!! And- Any little amount helps the horses! We also need wormer, brushes, blankets, used tack, etc. Please contact me through this website if you'd like to donate to Safe Haven Arabians! Please view our photo albums to see the horses we've already helped. We will have new horses available for adoption monthly. We've saved nearly 40 horses since November 2008. DONATIONS ARE APPRECIATED AND TAX DEDUCTIBLE. THE HORSES THANK YOU!!!
