Meet Richy!
There’s a new gelding in town! Everyone, meet Richy, the newest member of the A Horse Tale Rescue herd. From the moment Richy arrived on June 14, 2026, the 27-year-old Dutch warmblood has shown us exactly who he is - a horse full of personality, charm, and power. He’s the kind of gelding that makes you smile the second you meet him, and we already know he’s going to steal plenty of hearts. Once again, we’ve had the pleasure of partnering with the SPCA, and we are so grateful

Thanks to Jenn and Caroline
We want to shine a light on two very, very important people at A Horse Tale (AHT), two people who quietly carry so much of the heart of this rescue. Jenn and Caroline work tirelessly behind the scenes, day in and day out, making sure our horses are healthy and safe, and that our volunteers feel supported, heard, and cared for. Their days start early, end late, and are filled with compassion, problem-solving, and endless dedication. When you need them, they are there, always.

Happy New Year
As we close out 2025, we’re reflecting on a year that brought both heartbreak and beautiful growth at A Horse Tale Rescue – a year that reminded us just how deeply we feel, and how strongly we stand together. Losing three of our horses broke our hearts in ways only rescue can. Yet even in that grief, something beautiful happened, our angels made sure that where three were lost, three more arrived, each one needing safety, love, and a second chance, and retirement. We carry t

Giving Tuesday
Help Rewrite a Horse’s Story Every day at A Horse Tale Rescue, a horse takes a step toward a life they were once denied — a life of safety, dignity, and compassion. Many arrive anxious, underweight, or simply forgotten. But with expert care, patience, and love, they begin to heal not only physically, but emotionally too. This transformation is only possible because of people like you. As a volunteer-driven charity, we rely entirely on donations to provide the highest standard
