Interested in fostering, adoption or volunteering? Want to learn how you can protect your equine pets from ending up in the auction/kill pen pipeline. Contact us today for more information.
SMEM began our mission in 2017 when several of our members saved four horses from the kill pen/equine feed lot and provided them a safe, forever home in our barns in Southern Maryland. In May of 2018, we formed Southern Maryland Equine Miracles, Ltd and later that year was approved as a 501c3, non-profit equine rescue. To-date, SMEM has been able to assist with protecting 22 equines and placing them in safe, foster or adotion homes. We continue to monitor each of our rescues to ensure they remain protected, well cared for and will never again end up in the auction/kill pen pipeline.
Southern Maryland Equine Miracles is a public non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to saving endangered, abused and unwanted horses that are in need of safe homes and medical care. These horses may be senior, with medical issues, injuries or young, untrained and neglected. Because most cannot be ridden or medical treatment is beyond the reach of many people, these gentle souls often find themselves at auction or slaughter bound. Our goal is to rehabilitate, train and assess them and access them for future purpose in the community. Our rescues have been placed in youth training programs and/or been made available thru adoption as loving companion pasture mates. Through our efforts we have provided our local community youth the ability to learn about animal needs and proper care by offering Equine Assisted Educational and Riding Events, as well as working with our visitors and volunteers.

Your donation helps with rescuing horses from bad situations, providing them medical, farrier and dental care and continued maintenance of feed and hay.
