Who we are and what we do

HSWHS is a 501C3 non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Wild Horses, Equines and animals in need.

Patience, Care, and Compassion

Every animal deserves to be treated well.  Because of this, High Sierra Wild Horse Sanctuary and Gentling Center was established to help provide a safe haven or temporary home for horses that are abandoned, abused, or when their owners are unable to continue to care for them.

To care for the horses properly it requires not only money but patience, care and compassion along with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge. 

How to help

If you have compassion for animals and their wellbeing please contact us.  You can volunteer or you can donate funds by clicking the donate button below.  Your gifts of love can save a horse and care for them until they are adopted.  


HSWHS mission is to:

  • Assist law enforcement officers in seizing, fostering, and adopting equines;
  • Educate the public on horse care and management;
  • Offer help to equine owners in times of natural or personal disaster;
  • Rehabilitate neglected and abused equines;
  • Accept donations of unwanted equines for adoption into new homes;
  • Find and place equines in new homes;
  • Improve the lives of equines throughout the United States.
