Equiculture at Anam Cara Farm

Equiculture is a sanctuary for retired, disabled and homeless working horses at Anam Cara Farm in Canaan Maine. In addition to our work on the farm, we are a hub in the community to re-home horses that need a forever home suited to their experience and needs. 

Our mission at Equiculture is to bring more understanding to the real value of the horses' contribution in the past, present and into a shared future. Horses today are generally seen as expensive luxury items whose welfare depends on the financial stability of their owners. Once placed in auctions they are in terrible risk of being bought for their meat value, which has risen dramatically in the last several years due to a large demand for horse meat in Japan. 

Caring compassionately for our horses in need can lead to caring for our kind too. They are masterful teachers at helping us become the change we need to be in order to create the future we all deserve.
