Labrador Hill Sanctuary Inc is a permanent sanctuary to over 50 horses, donkeys, ponies and mules with a commitment to the preservation of life, the ending of horse slaughter, and humane education for students from ages 2-adult. We provide long term care for equines at all stages of their lives, and foster empathy in students to work with animals of all abilities, whether rideable or not. While honoring the long and rich history of human-equine relationships, we hope to move public opinion in the 21st century towards inclusion of these intelligent animals into the mainstream of society, with attendant rights , dignity, and funding. We offer both a natural horsemanship program and an equine assisted psychotherapy program, along with services for veterans and inner city students.
