Who We Are banner image

The mission of Redwings Horse Sanctuary is to eliminate the causes of equine suffering through education and community outreach programs, rescue abused and neglected equines, and provide permanent sanctuary or selected foster homes for those equines.

Redwings Horse Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit located in Lockwood, California in the coastal region half way between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Primarily devoted to the well-being of its rescued equines, Redwings operates with a small, dedicated staff and many dedicated volunteers.
