WELCOME TO BROOKSPRINGS FARMS RESCUE
Where second chances bloom and animals find their life's purpose.
Join us in our mission to save horses and donkeys from the slaughter house and provide them with open pastures and a second chance at life. Helping them find their life's purpose through assisted-equine therapy for the wellbeing and healing of humans and horses alike.
Since we started our nonprofit in July 2025, we have helped to rescue 8 equine animals off the slaughter pipeline. Three pregnant mares, one 1.5 year old gelding, one 2 year old filly, one yearling 8 month old colt, one 2.5 year old pony colt, and one 17 year old pony mare. Seven have found their homes while our first rescue pregnant horse, that we named Hope, is currently staying at our rescue sanctuary.
We are in the middle of building therapy and recovery programs for adults and children that we plan to introduce this new year of 2026.
Be on the lookout for information on our first annual children-family community event.

Our Unique Services

Animal Rescue Operations
From just starting our rescue in July, we have helped to rescue 5 horses and are just getting started. With your help from donations and sharing, we are able to rescue and rehabilitate large animals that end up on the slaughter line, such as horses, donkeys, mules, ponies, mini horses, and burros. We work closely with a Virginia 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue that helps to get animals a home before being directed to a Mexico or Canada slaughter house. We are their last chance at life and hope.
Adoption and rehome Services
We have helped with rehoming 3 horses and 1 pony to 4 different families. We plan to continue to connect more loving families with more wonderful rescue animals. Please contact us if you would like to adopt a rescue horse. Our rescue animals come with a lifetime give-back program designed for the welfare of each animal to never end up back in the pipeline. We also offer sponsor an animal opportunities for your donations to go directly to a rescue animal under our care and to help rescue more off the line.
Therapy and Recovery Programs
Currently, we are building for our rescue animals to be part of a recovery and therapy program for children, adults, and families. We specialize in aiding with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions, mental health issues, abuse, trauma, grief, and special needs. We offer individual, group, family, business, school, and custom sessions to fit the needs of anyone looking for healing beyond traditional care.
