Horse Plus Humane Society is a haven for horses, and the 'Plus' denotes our passion for all animals in need. We're an organization that's brimming with a variety of impactful programs designed to transform the lives of animals. We strive to promote education, awareness, and a real understanding of animals' plight. We warmly invite you to explore our diverse range of programs and join us in making a difference.
donate Since our inception, our mission at Horse Plus Humane Society has been firmly rooted in horse rescue, with an emphasis on saving as many horses as we can from the horrors and brutality of the slaughter pipeline. While we acknowledge it's impossible to singularly help every horse in need, we're committed to making a profound difference in the lives of all the horses we encounter.
We invite you to be a part of this noble cause by your financial support. By getting involved, you'll be contributing to a project that truly makes a difference in the lives of vulnerable creatures.
The word Shelter is a simple term that holds immense meaning. Each animal rescued and brought to our organization requires shelter as they transition from a life marred by neglect to one filled with love and care. Thanks to our full range of animal care services, we ensure every animal under our watch experiences the kindness they rightfully deserve. Discover how you can join us in providing shelter to these animals, aiding them on their transformative journey from a life of hardship to one brimming with affection and love.
We're committed to protecting horses through the power of knowledge. By showing the real challenges horses encounter, we strive to invoke change. Social media serves as our platform to connect horse-related issues with passionate individuals like yourself. Our visual strategy leverages the power of photos and videos for a real look into the harsh reality of the horse world. We're not only about raising awareness; we're also proactive, lobbying in Washington DC to instigate policy changes for better horse protection. Peaceful protests spotlight the horse issues, while our Grant programs equips nonprofits and private owners with necessary resources for horse care. Through all this, we aim to create a positive global impact. We welcome you to join our efforts and be the voice for horses.

The "Big Lick" artificial gait is only achieved through inhumane practices inflicted upon horses. It involves applying harmful substances such as mustard oil, diesel fuel, and kerosene just above the horse's hoof, resulting in severe pain. A chain, known as an action device, is wrapped around the leg, causing the horse to flinch due to pain, which ultimately creates the Big Lick. This is a far cry from the natural gait of the Tennessee walking horse, which is inherently beautiful. The detrimental effects include scarring due to excessive chemical burning, which disqualifies horses from shows as USDA inspectors can identify these chemical burn scars. Most of these physically scarred horses tragically end up in the slaughter pipeline.
Join us in our mission to protect these majestic horses. We are striving to enact laws, organize protests, and bring light to the plight these creatures face. Contact Us and be a part of this meaningful cause to end their suffering.
