Tierra Madre Horse & Human Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Cave Creek, Arizona that provides a forever home to previously abused, neglected, injured, abandoned, or surrendered horses. For nearly two decades we have been saving horses from the slaughter pipeline and providing to them healing, hope and happiness. We are the only nonprofit, exclusive horse sanctuary in Maricopa County, and the vast majority of our horses are retired. Over the years, the humans at Tierra Madre began to recognize that while the horses were being healed, the humans were receiving healing, too. Today, the horses serve as healers in a variety of programs, continuing our mission of promoting a circle of healing between human and horse that has existed for centuries.
