AAEP Rescue and Retirement Guidelines

Rescue and retirement facilities play a vital role in providing lifelong care and/or finding new owners for horses, or other equidae, that may be considered “unwanted” or have been subjected to neglect or abuse. NOTE: For the purposes of this document, the term “horse” is used to refer to all equidae. The AAEP recognizes and commends the important services these facilities provide to the horses and individuals who benefit from their work.
