Our Vision

Readiness for the unplanned is always part of the Dorset Equine Rescue vision. Baby 'Butter', shown here with his Mama, 'June' was a surprise (or bonus) resident.
Consider...
The interwoven story of humans and horses is a tale older than time. Among nearly 6,500 species of mammalian life on earth, only we humans are graced with the ingenuity to build advanced civilizations. Yet among this number there is just one other species without whom the world we enjoy today would not have been possible: the horse.
If we were to rewind 6,000 years of history and extract the thread of the horse from the story of human progress, our world would be unrecognizable. Life as we know it has literally been co-created by the horse. From facilitating the early hunt to evolving agrarian life, from carrying us into battle to literally moving mountains, horses have been there to support human advancement at every turn.
