The Origami Horse Foundation is more than a rescue—it’s a place of transformation, healing, and opportunity. Through our comprehensive programs, we not only rehabilitate abandoned and abused horses but also provide at-risk youth with life-changing experiences that foster confidence, responsibility and hope. Whether you are a teen looking for a fresh start, a parent seeking support, a social service professional working with vulnerable youth, or a donor wanting to make a meaningful impact, there’s a place for you in our mission.

​

Our Services

Horse Rescue & Rehabilitation—We provide medical care, nourishment, and training to neglected or abused horses, ensuring they are given the second chance they deserve.

​

Equine-Assisted Learning & Therapy – Our programs offer teens the opportunity to work directly with horses, learning valuable life skills such as leadership, patience, and emotional regulation. Horses have a unique ability to connect with people, helping them build trust and confidence in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.

​

Educational Workshops & Career Development – We teach youth about horse care, equine science, and even career opportunities in veterinary medicine, animal welfare, and agriculture. These programs open doors to new possibilities and future aspirations.

​

Community Outreach & Advocacy – We actively promote equine welfare and responsible horse ownership, working with schools, community organizations, and social services to ensure education and advocacy reach those who need it most.

​

Volunteer & Mentorship Opportunities – We invite individuals, families, and organizations to join us in making a difference. Volunteers play a vital role in caring for the horses, assisting with youth programs, and advocating for our mission.
