History
Established in 2016.
Faith N Friends is a non-profit, 501(c) 3 horse rescue and sanctuary in Corryton, TN. Although Faith N Friends obtained 501(c) 3 status in 2016, Faith N Friends has been rescuing horses and other animals for over 12 years. Up to this point I (the founder of Faith N Friends) have funded this rescue solely on my own. I am a mother of two, Primary Family Practitioner, vet technician, avid rider, advocate for any type of animal, and most of all, horse lover. Over the years I have done what I could on my own to help sick, injured, and abused animals and horses. However, with the economy declining there seems to be a much greater need for rescuing. Every horse sale I attend is packed primarily with unwanted, sick, and injured horses. My heart goes out to each and every one of those horses because I know where their fate ends. Although we cannot save them all, the horses we choose to rescue are evaluated from the time I see them on potential health, ride-ability, and behavior.
Meet the Business Owner: Faith S.
I have been around and on horses all my life. In fact I actually started riding before I even started walking! I have always loved horses and all animals. Faith N Friends received official 501(c)3 status in 2016, but I have been rescuing horses for 12 years and have been rescuing other animals all of my life. Up to this point I have funded this rescue solely on my own. I am a mother of two, Primary Family Practitioner, vet technician, avid rider, advocate for any type of animal, and most of all, horse lover. Over the years I have done what I could on my own to help sick, injured, and abused horses and animals. I founded Faith N Friends due to the overwhelming need for safe and loving places for horses to go to! Although this road has not been the easiest, the road to success is never easy! I hope to succeed in saving as many horses and animals as possible! Please help me in my journey in trying to make this world a better place by helping one horse at a time!
