At Rosemary Farm, our mission is to rescue horses in need, and protect them for life.

READ OUR FULL MISSION STATEMENT

 

 

Rosemary Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in 2012, to rescue equines in need and protect them for life. One of the largest facilities in the Northeast, there are over 100 equines in residence at this magical mountain home, located three hours and a world away from New York City.

“Sanctuary” is the primary essential quality offered to every equine welcomed. Rescued from slaughter, abuse, neglect or homelessness, each one receives comprehensive medical care, daily interaction with humans, basic gentling for safety, and detailed attention to their individual health and happiness. Compassion is a guiding principle as each life is nurtured, valued, and loved. Verified by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, Rosemary Farm prides itself on quality, ethical, long-term care. Nearly one-third of the residents have enjoyed over a decade of quality life here. A select few are adopted, if it is the right direction for the equine, and under strict terms of contract.

At Rosemary Farm, horses live in dynamic natural environments, in herd groups, creating vital family bonds that are honored and protected, and providing visitors a rare opportunity to see large bands of horses running free across a mountain.

Rosemary Farm Sanctuary is ‘where horses get to be horses’.
