our mission
Our mission is simple: we want to create a more kind and compassionate world for horses.
Since founding Red Feather in 2020, we've realized that unrideable horses are among the most at risk for neglect, abuse, and abandonment. While many organizations focus on rehoming rideable horses, we saw an opportunity to make the greatest impact by supporting those who cannot be ridden or serve a utilitarian purpose.
Sadly, the odds are stacked against the average horse. From the expectation of utility to the dark realities of horse trading and kill pens, countless horses face unimaginable dangers that we are determined to prevent.
​
Through advocacy, education, and ethical rescue, our goal is to transform the way people perceive and value our beloved equines. Horses don’t need to be ridden to showcase their magic—and we’re here to prove it.
