What We Do
Our Mission
At From the Ashes Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation Corporation, we strive to create a safe environment for neglected, abused, slaughter-bound, and surrendered horses in East Tennessee and surrounding areas. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome these majestic creatures. Through our rehabilitation program, each horse will develop skills and abilities making them a desirable addition to any pasture. This gives them the best chance to avoid being in a situation that would bring them back to a rescue like ours.
Our goal is to help every horse we can rise like a phoenix From the Ashes.
Who We Are
From the Ashes Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation Corporation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity organization with the IRS. We take in horses from many different situations including slaughter-bound, owner surrender, and situations where the horse(s) is not receiving proper treatment or care. These horses are brought to our facility in East Tennessee where we care for them and work to get them ready for a new forever home. You can learn more about the individuals behind our organization by visiting the “Meet Our Team” page under the “About” section.
How We Do It
We work with each horse tending to their individual needs. A lot of the horses that come to us are underweight and require proper nutrition and weight management before their training begins. We create an individualized training program for each horse that comes through our facility based on their abilities, conformation, and their interests as we observe them work. Once they are healthy and ready for a new home they are listed on our site for adoption where interested individuals and families can apply to be their new forever home.
Our Programs
Flames of Knowledge
Our education program, Flames of Knowledge provides open access to a wealth of equine knowledge including horse care, horse and rider safety, and the latest in horse welfare through posts and videos made on relevant topics to the equine world. By making such information available to the general public we can encourage greater awareness of the public for the betterment of horses and the horse community.
Embers of Hope
Our rescue program, Embers of Hope’s primary focus is on finding and bringing in horses from the slaughter pipeline, auctions, neglect/abuse cases, or owner surrenders to provide them with the opportunity to recover and eventually find a new loving forever home through our rescue services!
Phoenix Rising
Phoenix Rising is our rehabilitation program and the meat of our rescue, we focus on the recovery of each individual horse that comes to us and providing them with training and preparations for their new homes that are specific to each horse’s individual abilities and interests to ensure that they can enjoy a long-lasting and loving home to prevent their return to being in a state where they are once again in need of rescue.
