History: Horse Helpers was established in 2004 by Anita Gomez, Joyce Campbell and others. The organization has been rescuing horses and other equine ever since.
Today, Horse Helpers is located on Wisteria Farm in Zionville, NC, west of Boone, NC. We are the only equine rescue serving Watauga, Ashe, and Avery Counties in North Carolina and occasionally helping in nearby Tennessee. Our main goal is to offer aide to horses, donkeys, and mules. We also provide a forum for education on animal care and humane communication.
Wisteria Farm is located on 5 acres in the farming community of Zionville, NC. We have two barns that provide us ample quarantine space for new horses. We have private paddocks for sick horses, and eight box stalls. We rent additional pasture in the area while approved foster homes allow more opportunities to save equine.
