About this shelter

Meadow Haven Horse Rescue and Sanctuary in Smiley, TX

Meadow Haven Horse Rescue and Sanctuary is located in Smiley, Texas, about 60 miles west of San Antonio, and is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This equine rescue provides shelter, rehabilitation, and a permanent, loving home to unwanted, abused, old, or injured horses and donkeys, and horses in its care are never sent to auction or slaughter. Some horses go on to serve in the rescue's horsemanship program, become retired companions or trail horses, or are retrained for new careers. Meadow Haven relies solely on donations to operate, has no administration or board member costs, and requires a home visit as part of its adoption process, with the guarantee that any adopted horse can always be returned to the rescue if the adopter can no longer care for it.

Before you go

Adopting from this shelter

Adoption process

Applicants submit an adoption application for review, then undergo a home/stable visit, then visit and bond with the horse(s) they're interested in, and finally complete paperwork to take the horse home (with the horse able to be returned to the rescue if the adopter can no longer care for it).
