Anyone know anything about NC or SC horse rescue non-profits

[AMCDeac]

Yeah, a bit random but someone I know is looking to make a donation to a well-run local or regional horse rescue non-profit in someone's honor. Anyone have experience with such organizations? Greater Charlotte region preferred but not necessarily required.

Thanks for any suggestions.

A friend of my wife's is somehow involved with a horse rescue farm. I've seen her friend being interviewed on the news over the years whenever there have been malnourished and mistreated horses. I believe they're in Yadkin County. I can certainly get some info for you.

Thanks, that would be a tremendous help.

Is this the kind of thing you are talking about?

They rescue and rehome failed/retired race horses.

This is not in the NC area, but this is a great cause, to remove and rehome "wild mustangs" from western range lands:

The person being honored has always loved and dreamed of owning a horse. Now that he is retiring and has the resources, he could get his own horse. But at 74, and with his house in metro Charlotte, he recognizes that t is probably the wrong time to own a horse and take up riding. So a client he has represented for the last 30 years wants to make a surprise donation is his name. It would be good if he could sponsor a rescue horse somewhere near Charlotte and visit or volunteer at the site, too, but that isn't necessarily critical.

My mom volunteers at a place in Raleigh called Hope Reigns. They pair rescued horses with abused or struggling children. Very awesome.

The Stables at Poplar Grove in Wilmington has an Equine Rescue Program for neglected and abused equines. One of my best friends has been working with them in honor of her late sister, a horse lover, and I know the program would be thrilled with a donation like this.
