About the Farm
ABOUT US
ANIMAL RESCUE FARM
This family farm is 7-8 acres, nestled in Georgia. Chris's family has owned their farm for over 50 years. Chris, his wife and his son work on their land to support animals in need. Chris started his animal rescue operations in 1999.
​
What makes the farm special is taking in neglected horses. Their hometown does not support a large network of resources for rescue horses. Roughly five to six horse farms exist near his farm. For assistance he draws on outside towns to place animals. Learn more below:
REINS & ROPES Q&A WITH CHRIS
What kind of animals do you rescue?
"All my farm animals were mistreated, starved, ignored, and left to suffer by other uncaring humans. My family farm has rescued, treated their ailments, fed them, provided shelter, and loved them back to health. Most importantly, we have saved them from sure death. We have done whatever it takes, supporting these animals with our own limited income. Without regard to time, labor, or costs…but is has taken a toll on our family and our finances."
What caused you to start taking in rescue animals?
"I love them. I have a strong desire to build interest in caring for the forgotten and neglected animals. I want people to understand that how humans treat farm animals and their beloved pet at home are no different. Animals are not meant to be thrown away just because they cease being perfect or useful. Each animal deserves to be treated with respect and enjoy a happy well loved life regardless of their usefulness."
100 HORSES SAVED
Chris McCain wants the world to know about horses and how nice they are. He believes that farm animals provide much more to humanity than just farm labor. When horses can no longer be ridden, they are hard to sell, so people will have them slaughtered. Just because a horse is unable to be ridden or provide hard work…they still deserve a life outside of the labor force upon their retirement.
​​
Chris challenges humanity to understand that horses express positive emotional reactions to humans and are capable of developing a strong positive bond with humans. Our farm provides homes for horses that cannot be ridden or useful for farm labor. Horses that have provided a service to humanity and have been abused and neglected.
Horse farms are uncommon, so many people call Farmer(Name) to help because he knows how to handle horses. There are less than five or six horse owners in the area. He takes them from out of town.
He has friends that have a lot of land and places some horses with them.
At least 100 horses have been saved.
