"Where the Whispers of Many Horses in Need are Heard” 

 OUR MANDATE is to:
 
provide care and rehabilitation to abused and neglected horses
assist members of the community that can no longer care for their horses 
prevent innocent animals being subjected to auctions and slaughter.
 
Whispering Hearts Horse Rescue is privately funded by the efforts of the owners, and kind 
donations of like minded animal lovers. 
It is all Volunteers, who are many, that donate their time and efforts which allows Whispering 
Heart’s to operate. 
Since being established in 2007, WHHR has saved over 150 horses in need. We are proud to 
say that many of these have now been adopted into permanent loving homes as a result of our 
efforts and dedication to our cause. 
Many thanks to all the wonderful people who have helped us make our dream come true,
Brenda and Dave Thompson

Together we CAN make a difference – one horse at at time! 

We are not open to the public, please contact us if you would like to visit the farm. 

UPDATE WINTER 2013

It has been a busy winter at WHHR!

We have taken in 29 horses since November 15, 2012.  Many of these horses were emaciated, infested with lice and internal parasites, and had severe skin infections.  Two came very close to dying within hours of arriving at the rescue.  Fortunately, because we were able to provide the urgent, emergency care they needed, they both survived.

With all the hands on, daily care (sometimes 24/7) these horses have needed, it has been difficult to stay on top of administrative tasks - like answering emails and updating the website. Your patience and understanding are appreciated while we are working to catch up now that the horses are doing better.  Please check back regularly to see the updated horses we have!  You can also find information and join the conversation on our Facebook Page.

Thank you for your continued support, I hope to have the 2012 stats very soon.

We currently have over 60 horses on the farm.  Many are healthy and ready for new homes.   If you are looking for a horse, please complete the online Adoption Application form.  We'll let you know if there is a match here for you!  Every horse adopted makes space for another one to be rescued.  If you are not able to adopt a horse, consider Sponsoring a horse or Volunteering at WHHR.

Thank you for your support!

Our Training Method

At Whispering Hearts Horse Rescue, we don't just heal the horses physically.  We also heal them emotionally.

People often ask, "how do you work with all these abused and untrained horses?"  The Chris Irwin Method of Horsemanship has provided us with the tools to reach deep into the souls of these horses, and the knowledge to work through the fear and trust issues many of them have developed do to human injustice and ignorance.  In 2012, Brenda achieved the Silver Level of Certification in Chris' Train the Trainer program.  She trains all the volunteers at WHHR to handle the horses with these techniques.  Whenever you are with a horse, you are training him or her.

Education is a key part of the work we do at WHHR to make life better for all horses.  So, we host Confident Horsemanship clinics given Anne Gage 3 - 4 times a year.  These clinics are open to volunteers, adopters, potential adopters and horse owners.  Participants can bring their own horses or work with a WHHR horse.
