Mission
To provide a safe haven for wild horses, domestic horses and burros that might
otherwise be separated, slaughtered or suffer abuse. Simultaneously, our
organization works to create an educational opportunity for people to directly
experience America's living legends—the wild horse, in a natural habitat. Our
Equine Rescue program provides shelter, care, rehabilitation, and adoption
services for abused, abandoned, neglected and unwanted horses. We also offer
basic education to new adopters regarding care and treatment of rescued horses.
Although our primary focus is on horses/equine this organization shall not be
limited to and if called upon shall allow other limited types of animals such as
bovine, bison, and mammals not interfering with the State and Federal Wildlife
laws.
Philosophy
America’s wild horses have a right to remain wild and free. However, each year
thousands of wild horses continue to be removed from their indigenous
environment and relocated off public lands with nowhere to go in the private
sector. We maintain that, whenever possible, bonded horses will be allowed to
stay together. We believe this will allow them the ability to live out their
lives roaming free in a sanctuary setting and allow them to carry on their
heritage.
Whispering Winds Equine Rescue (“WWER”) is a public benefit non-profit
corporation, created with the mission of acquiring abused, malnourished,
unwanted, or neglected horses, donkeys, mules, and ponies (equine) with the
purpose of returning them to good health and placing them in responsible homes
so they may thrive. WWER also acquires equine that are offered for sale at
auctions for the purpose of being sold for meat (either for human or animal
consumption), evaluate their condition, and bring them back to good health, if
needed, then place them in homes where they will be well cared for and used.
This rescue work is carried on using the highest standards of medical care,
scientific methods, and facilities available within the limits of the
corporation’s financial resources.
