Habitat for Horses/ is not located in one central place. It is a state of mind, an organization of volunteers throughout the United States and several foreign countries that believe in our philosophy and support our mission.

Our primary ranch facility is located on a 27-acres in Galveston County, Texas. Midway between the booming economy of NASA at Clear Lake and the tourist town of Galveston, the local area is predominately rural, with a large population of horses. Our ranch facility was donated to us by a former Galveston police officer. Volunteers built everything all on the ranch -paddocks, shelters, fencing and water lines. The materials were paid for by donations from our members.

The exact location of the ranch is not publicized because of threats made against the horses and the staff by abusive owners who have had their horses removed from them. Visitors and volunteers must be cleared by the staff prior to visiting and are allowed on the ranch only by appointment. Security is maintained by the watchful eyes of the Hitchcock Police Department.

While the ranch facility contains an average of 50 horses, a lager number of our horses are located in volunteer foster homes throughout Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. On the average, HfH maintains responsibility for around 250 horses.

We were awarded the Safety Award by The North American Horsemen's Association for 2005.
