About Red Clay Ranch Equine Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc.
Red Clay Ranch Equine Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc. was established in 2011 to offer rescue, rehabilitation and sanctuary to horses that had suffered from abuse, abandonment, starvation or neglect. Many of the equine residents have served humans throughout their lives but because of age or illness are discarded for a more serviceable animal. Others have been seized by law enforcement because of owner neglect. Red Clay Ranch offers rehabilitation and care for the remainder of the horse's life unless adoption to a good home is a possibility. Thirty percent of Red Clay's equine population is over 25 years old and 14 are totally blind; Red Clay recognizes the value in each life no matter the horse's condition or situation. Red Clay Ranch’s residents live a full and dignified life; they are loved.
