We need your help! HPAF receives no state or federal funding and exists only through donations. The amount of neglected horses and horses whose owners can no longer afford to feed them has exploded recently and your donations make it possible for HPAF to continue the work of protecting and saving horses.
No donation is too small. Please help us help the horses. hpaf.org

The poor dogs miss their owner and they were a little concerned about all of the people coming and going on their property the first day but they are now getting used to the all of the new people. These dogs are accustomed to being in the house and out around the farm and the horses, all are well behaved.
Thank you to The Ocala Star Banner, reporter Carlos E. Medina and photographer Bruce Ackerman assistant editor Susan Smiley-Height for getting the story about these animals out in the newspaper and online at www.ocala.com which will increase their chances of finding loving homes. Please email if you would like to receive an email with information and photos of the animals that you can forward to a friend.
