Mission Statement

Mission Statement

Florida Horse Farm is here to provide Florida with an alternative for unwanted horses. It begins with providing owners information, education and assistance to reduce the number of neglected and abused horses in the state. We will also work to form a coalition with other groups to consolidate buying power, share expenses to promote our cause and provide a location to send horses that are impossible to place. We will work with the state to implement HB765 in a cost effective manner and to provide members of the Florida horse industry a viable option to retirement or transporting horses out of state. We also see this as the perfect opportunity for those who service the horses and horse owners of Florida to give back to our community.
