“It’s meaningful to make a difference in the horses’ lives from being abused to total love and caring, which will help them get adopted out to a good family one day. I also like the events for veterans and their families. If you love horses and want to be a part of a great cause, this is the place for you. It’s like being part of a big family that all comes together to do something good, and in turn, you feel good about yourself.”
– Dave Usher, Marine Veteran

Meet our Rescues!

Allegiance Ranch & Equine Rescue began with a mission to save horses from the horrors of the slaughter pipeline and extreme neglect. What started as a commitment to giving these majestic animals a second chance has grown into a broader rescue effort.

Today, in addition to horses, we care for donkeys, goats, chickens, and turkeys, all of whom have found safety and sanctuary at the ranch. Each rescue represents a life saved, and together, they contribute to the healing environment we offer for veterans and first responders.
