Little Brook Farm, established in 1977, is one of the oldest horse rescue/sanctuaries in the US. We have rescued hundreds of horses over the years and currently oversee the life long care of over 100 horses. They are never bred or sold, and we maintain a strict “must return if…” policy when adopted.

Through the generosity of 6 landowners and our own 55-acre farm, we have access to a total of 125 acres available for the 80 horses we care for daily. Our rescue resources include 20 outstanding foster homes that provide for an additional 35 horses and donkeys.

*We receive no government funding and have no paid employees.

Little Brook Farm is home to B.I.T.S. (Balanced Innovative Teaching Strategies, Inc.), a non-profit 501c3 through the NYS Department of Education. B.I.T.S. has been providing multi-faceted educational, vocational and therapeutic programs utilizing the rehabilitated animals of Little Brook Farm since 1986. The horses are our "working partners." We provide a wide range of safety-conscious programs at our facility, as well as other locations, to over 90 schools, agencies and organizations. Our students’ success is achieved largely through the relationship with the horse: he is non-judgmental, provides immediate feedback and, as a subject, offers unlimited possibilities to grow mentally, physically and emotionally.
