Horse Haven of Tennessee provides programs to "rescue, rehab, and rehome" neglected and abused horses in the State of Tennessee. Based in Knoxville, Horse Haven of Tennessee helps rescue horse, from either bad owners, horrible conditions, or emergency situations. They serve all 95 counties in Tennessee, but state on their website they will also make exceptions in order to provide service to surrounding areas, even if not in the state of Tennessee. Programs that they provide include: owner assistance (for owners who need help in maintaining a good environment for their horse), emergency rescue (such as a horse falling into a swimming pool, sink hole, or embankment), and provide education on horses statewide. Their mane goal (ha, see what I did there?), though, is taking in neglected and abused and nursing them back to health, training them, and allowing people in the community to adopt them.
The organization was started back in 1999 and is Tennessee's largest and oldest equine welfare organization. Since the beginning of operations, they have cared for 952 horses!
Their office is located near the Pellissippi State Community College campus, so not too far away!
If interested in horses, animals, or helping people, I'd definitely check them out!
