Road Apple Acres is a horse rescue. We try to rehabilitate those who cannot help themselves.

Our Mission
Prevention of cruelty to animals, especially horses. Horses should have safety, peace, and dignity throughout their lives. Our commitment is to give them the respect, care, and love they deserve.

Why Your Help is Important to Us!
Our first rescue here was in 2005. It is hard for us to ignore the conditions and training practices that put many horses in need of help. Funds generated go mainly for feed, haul water and veterinary care. If rehabilitated, horses are “re-homed” with a supervision clause. Or sponsorships are available (horse stays here, public support donations help their care expenses. Dignity is retirement here, to live out their days until time comes for a humane burial and not be subjected to a slaughter-bound Hell!
We currently have 9 permanent resident “special needs” and 2 goats in our herd. The Board votes on acceptance, Negative Coggins quarantine and full ownership transfer of horse for R.A.A. So, if you have a heart to lend a helping hand, donate funds to this cause, you have our herd’s heartfelt thanks! RAA is not a “Rescue” for healthy horses (we are not in the business of flesh peddling), nor for those outgrown in home value, or as a summer whim. Responsible guardianship of a species (horses can live 30-40 years) also entails final arrangements. We do not “Rescue” your conscience, if you have had the horse for decades and now think I should euthanize it for you. Incoming applicants are by board member vote on circumstance and rehabilitate ability. We are a non-profit corporation, so do take public donations. Dollars, gift certificated, hay bales, sack grain, medical supplies and towels. We don’t beg for cars, fencing (most already donated). Board members help clean corrals and fix shade corrals. Some volunteers help shed them out in the spring. We attempt to help terminal adults in their make a wish with horses. Information about our permanent resident special needs horses. RAA is not a riding academy nor do we put people who are on crutches, nor out of wheelchairs straight into a saddle. By hands on safety seminars, we teach grooming, shoeing, massage, groundwork or colt starting. We let the horse interact and ooze the calm back into troubled souls who need to heal.
