RRR Equine/Farm division rescues animals from neglect, abuse, abandonment and slaughter. We rehabilitate and adopt and/or provide a safe and loving sanctuary to those equines who need a forever home. 

We focus on healing with the goal of adopting to a loving, permanent home. 

RRR Equine typically have at least 30 horses in our care at any given time. These hsorses reside in foster care or managed grazing throughout NZ. We usually have one or two horses offsite in full training as well.

SAFE acquires horses through two primary sources. First, we work in partnership with multiple Animal Control Services to provide care and rehabilitation services for horses that are seized or surrendered. Our goal in providing this care is to help Animal Control agencies be more effective in their ability to take action against people who abuse and neglect animals. Once these animals are rehabilitated, they are signed over to RRR so that we can find permanent adoptive homes for them.

RRR also takes horses that are surrendered directly to us by their owners. RRR receives requests daily to take horses that belong to people facing the loss of their jobs, their homes, or their health.

Unfortunately, we are limited in the amount of space, funding, and manpower we have available, we can only help so many horses at one time. And when a spot does open up, we have to make a careful choice about which horse to take in next. We take the most desperate cases first — horses that are starving, or suffering from illness, injury, or severe neglect. These cases take the highest priority for our limited resources, simply because without our help, they are at risk of extreme suffering or death.

RRR Equine division has the experience and resources to take these desperate animals, nurse them back to good health and weight with the help and support of our partnered vets and start them on the road to a better future. We make a long-term commitment to every horse we save, and it’s because of this commitment that we cannot and will not take on more horses that we are able to care for. 

Our volunteers dedicate phenomenal hours to caring for these damaged horses providing the best care possible. With RRR it’s not just about the “save” — it’s everything that comes afterwards that we really take pride in. It’s a big responsibility, but it’s one we take on with great joy, knowing that we haven’t just saved a life, we’ve given a life back.

All our equines come from different backgrounds, and all have their own story. Many of the equines we’ve rescued were abandoned, starved and/or abused. We work diligently to rehabilitate and train them so we can find them their forever home.

Our adoption fees vary depending on their age, training and rehabilitation costs. The adoption process is extremely thorough to ensure the best match is made.
