Our Mission
"...we take the horse with a broken spirit to the child with an injured soul...the beauty of witnessing them achieve wholeness once again...is beyond measure, beyond words."
 
The Spotlite Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to two causes for the greater good:
Rescuing Abused, Neglected, and Unwanted Horses. We rescue any horse, regardless of breed, mental or physical condition, age, gender, training, or disposition.
Pairing up rescued horses with a child *in need, where a mutual trust and understanding can be easily formed due to similar histories, which greatly fosters the healing process.
We differ from other horse rescues in that the horses we rescue stay with us forever. We do not offer horses for adoption or for sale. Horses that are suitable get to join the Horse Therapy program, where they interact with children. This benefits both horse and child. Horses that aren't able to do therapy still have a home here. They are worked with frequently by volunteers, where they undergo extensive re-programming. It is a stressful life for the horse that is terrified of humans. Through consistent handling, these amazingly resilient animals come back to us, able to trust and love once again.
*In need is defined as, but not limited to, a child who: Has a parent battling a potentially terminal illnessHas lost a parent to a tragic accident/terminal illness Lives in low income circumstances Suffers from or is battling an eating disorder Has a parent in prison Is battling a terminal illness Has a parent in substance abuse rehabilitation Suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome Has a parent deployed to Iraq or to another high risk area Is the victim of sexual, emotional, verbal, or physical abuse.
