About Us

Who We Are

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, ​retrain and re-home at risk equines (horses, ponies, donkeys and mules).

We assist law enforcement agencies and accept surrenders from those in need.

Our goal is to find every horse in our care a forever home through adoption.

This is accomplished through medical rehabilitation and training to ensure each horse, rideable or not, has the skills needed to be a good equine citizen.

Founded in 1995 by Barbara Baker, Horses’ Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit located in Howell, Michigan.
