SIXTEEN HANDS HORSE SANCTUARY, INC.
ONA, FLORIDA

Sixteen Hands Horse Sanctuary, Inc. is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing a lifetime sanctuary for abused, abandoned, neglected, and unwanted horses. Established on September 27, 2007, the organization operates from Ona, Florida, and is home to currently 33 horses and two donkeys living peacefully on a 23-acre ranch. Over its history, Sixteen Hands has successfully provided permanent homes for 60 horses, with additional animals placed in foster care throughout the community. The sanctuary not only focuses on physical health but also emphasizes healing through love, compassion, and attentive care. Beyond its direct rescue efforts, Sixteen Hands Horse Sanctuary extends outreach assistance to local horse owners and engages the broader community through initiatives like partnerships where Amazon purchases can support their mission financially. Recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization under registration number CH25536, it is regulated by the Division of Consumer Services in Florida; however, registration does not equate to state endorsement. Operated under Florida's incorporation laws with filing number N07000010312 and registered through FEI Number 261224137, the sanctuary maintains transparency by posting its last annual report on February 4, 2024. The team driving this mission includes President Robin F Cain, Secretary Scott Mcadoo, and Treasurer Gary L Fresch, who collectively steer the organization towards its noble goal of providing a safe haven for equines in need.
