Horse Abuse and Neglect

HERO Horse RescueHorse abuse and neglect in North Carolina is a significant concern, with many compassionate people working tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home abused and neglected horses. Several signs of abuse and neglect include malnutrition, poor living conditions, lack of veterinary care, and visible injuries​​.

Organizations such as ours, HERO Horse Education and Rescue, are at the forefront of addressing these issues. We provide crucial services such as rescue operations, medical care, and rehabilitation for horses suffering from abuse and neglect. Additionally, we work to save horses from slaughter auctions and abusive environments, offering them a second chance at a healthy happy life.

Education

Efforts to combat horse abuse in North Carolina also involve community education on recognizing and reporting neglect. Recognizable signs include insufficient food and water, inadequate shelter, and lack of necessary veterinary care​. Public awareness and timely reporting to local authorities or animal control can significantly improve the welfare of these animals.
