OUR MISSION: Auction Horses Rescue is an all-volunteer non-profit organization devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation, and networking of horses at low-end auctions throughout California. We rescue all breeds of horse, with an emphasis on Thoroughbreds ex-racehorses and broodmares.
Since our inception in 2012, AHR has faithfully attended auctions throughout the state of California. Based an hour north of Los Angeles, we currently have 9 horses in our care — under the esteemed veterinary care of West Coast Equine Hospital, and farrier Chuck Esau, ensuring our horses have the best chance at a successful rehabilitation, be they adoptable or permanent resident.
Over the years, we have rescued & rehabilitated countless horses — everything from stakes-winning racehorses and well-bred Warmbloods to endangered breeds such as the American Cream Draft and Chincoteague Pony, all the way to “grade” discarded lesson & camp horses, often elderly and lame (if not more serious medical neglect). There really is no limit as to who we will rescue, space and funds permitting. No horse is safe from slaughter, no matter their pedigree, sales price, or performance career. In addition, we have networked many horses to excellent private homes, as well as to widely-respected, ethically-run rescues such as Skydog Sanctuary, United Pegasus Foundation, Tranquility Farms, Farralone Farms, and many more. If interested in partnering with us, or guidance on how to rescue your own auction horse, please email us at [email protected] If you would like to sponsor an AHR horse or contribute towards the rescue of an at-risk horse at a future auction, please donate above. Mailed donations can be sent to Auction Horses Rescue, 18034 Ventura Blvd #291, Encino, CA 91316. Please follow us on Facebook, where we have the most up-to date posts about our horses as well as auction listings. http://www.facebook.com/auctionhorses/ The main auction we attend is every 2nd Saturday of the month |
Watch Sterling Stormy's Happy Ending!
|
Sterling Stormy's story is a great example of the work we do. "Sterling's Stormy" is a 26-year-old Chincoteaue Pony stallion who nearly sold to slaughter.
|
One night in October 2013, AHR was able to save the ancient stallion from an action. For a mere $35. Watch as he arrives in his native Maryland. He is now home and safe at Chincoteague Pony Rescue.

Some of our Press and TV Interviews

BERKELEY (KPIX 5) — A Bay Area race track is investigating why one of its thoroughbreds ended up on the auction block, where horses are at risk of being sent to slaughter.
As KPIX 5 reported earlier this year, the policy at Golden Gate Fields bans retired horses from being taken to auction. But as we discovered, a horse fell through the cracks. He’s called New Macho Man, a two-year-old thoroughbred with a Kentucky pedigree. After a race in January, he came in third, but got injured. Two months later, he was on the block at an auction house in Turlock. A KPIX 5 investigation found many race horses end up there, selling for pennies on the dollar. |
SIMI VALLEY (KTLA) — Humane society officials in Ventura County are investigating a horse ranch in Simi Valley after animals were found malnourished and injured. The remains of two horses were also found at the ranch in between Simi Valley and Chatsworth, officials said.
“It’s not right,” said Peggy Lane, an equine hauler. “They don’t ask for this.” Megan Gaynes of Auction Horses Rescue said her group found horses that were underweight and one that had an open wound. “This is the worst I’ve ever seen,” Gaynes said. “I’ve never encountered dead animals.” The group plans to nurse the animals back to health.
