SWVHC Welcomes Brook Hill Farm



At Brook Hill Farm we believe in second chances. Every year, thousands of equine athletes suffer from neglect or potentially career-ending injuries. Many other horses are neglected or abused, and are left alone to die in their fields. Horses that appear healthy, but are lame, may end up at auction, their future bleak. Brook Hill Farm provides a safe haven for these horses.

Besides accepting horses in need from all over the country, the farm also serves as the local horse rescue for the surrounding area. Veterinarians, a professional farrier, and a dedicated staff of equine professionals and trained volunteers work together to create and execute a rehabilitation plan uniquely tailored to each horse's situation. Once the horse completes their rehabilitation plan, they are adopted out, enlisted as equine teachers in our United Neigh program, or offered a permanent home on property to live out the rest of their life in peace and security. Many are able to resume a competitive career with local 4H and Pony Club participants.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization endorsed by the Unwanted Horse Coalition and rely on public support to care for and rehabilitate these horses in need. Please visit our website to learn more about our unique programs, find opportunities to help, and maybe even meet your “forever horse”.
