Hurricane Milton recently devastated Florida leaving a trail of destruction that has deeply affected our community. At ERAF, we were incredibly fortunate to be spared from the numerous and deadly tornadoes spawned by Hurricane Milton. Our hearts are broken for our many friends and neighbors for whom the losses are indeed unfathomable.

Nevertheless, the impact of the storm has been overwhelming for us. Our facilities sustained significant flooding on top of the already very wet conditions we were experiencing even before Milton's arrival.

Many of our horses are suffering from skin and hoof issues - as a result of all the moisture - requiring vigilant care. Our Equine Manager, veterinarians, and farrier are working closely to treat these ongoing issues as we work towards long-term solutions to mitigate our flooding.

We desperately need your help.

Meet our Featured Horse, Griff (Del Griffin) Griff is a stunning 6yo off-the-track Thoroughbred gelding who arrived at ERAF having completed 13 starts on the racetrack. After finishing rehab and getting some time to just be a horse, Griff is currently retraining W/T/C under saddle. This big (16.1hh), gorgeous‼️ mover can go in any direction! He’d be a wonderful mid-level eventer, hunter/jumper, or dressage partner. Griff is incredibly impressive and oh-so-handsome, his abilities are endless, he has a great mind and a strong spirit, loves to work and moves beautifully.

Welcome to the Equine Rescue and Adoption Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit in Palm City, Florida, now celebrating more than 24 years of service to at risk horses.

We are the new beginning for horses who have been neglected, abused or surrendered by their owners and are in desperate need of help.

Too often they come to us broken in spirit and without a safe home. Sometimes they come to us heart broken, grieving the loss of their human partner and long time home. Very often they come to us ill or physically broken. The story is repeated time and again.

With our hard work, your generosity, and a loving new home they can once again be healthy horses that are filled with life and promise.

Our work is often filled with unspeakable sadness as these once upon a time majestic horses that have been abused, starved, and left unwanted come through our gates.

Then comes that amazing part of our work. We invest large amounts of our time, our hearts and money rehabilitating each horse that finds its way to our property. We provide them with the care, medicine, nutrition, training, and love that brings them back to a full and productive life. The true magic happens when we help these horses find a new partner, a new home, a new chapter.

In order to accomplish our mission, we rely on donations from you. In order to get the work done, we rely on volunteers who give their time. In order to find homes for these horses, we rely on our adopters. Please click on the links below and Adopt, Donate, Volunteer, support our fundraising events. Together we make a difference.
