We work hard to make sure each horse is given the proper care and so much love. Volunteers are the heart and soul of this organization and without their support, we're not sure how this rescue would even function. Equine welfare is the primary concern here at Pure Thoughts. Our mission is based on the realization that we, as a nation, have depended on these horses for centuries and must take responsibility for their lives. Horses give us their heart and soul whether through work, sport, entertainment, or recreation. To use a horse only as long as it fulfills our needs, then to subject it to physical and/or mental abuse and subsequent death, is a violation of that horse as a living being as well as a violation of our ethical and moral compass.
