About Wild Horse Rescue Center (WHRC)

The Wild Horse Rescue Center (WHRC) is dedicated to the preservation of America's wild horses. Since 2007, we have remained committed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit center to compassionately rescue, rehabilitate, and provide forever homes for wild horses, equines, burros, and other vulnerable creatures. Volunteers are an integral part of our mission, helping us provide the care and rehabilitation these animals need while also fighting against the mistreatment of wild horses.

Located in Central Florida, WHRC offers a peaceful, hands-on environment where volunteers can connect with rescued and wild horses. This unique setting allows volunteers to make a meaningful impact, gain valuable equine experience, and enjoy Florida's natural beauty.

Volunteer Program Overview

Anyone over 18 years old is welcome to volunteer, regardless of experience level. Volunteers help with:

• Daily horse care and barn maintenance

• Assisting in the rehabilitation of wild horses, burros, and other rescued animals

• Socializing wild/semi-wild mustangs

• Learning from equine professionals about wild horse behavior and training

While riding opportunities are available, our primary focus is rescue work and rehabilitation. All rides are done in groups with a staff member—volunteers cannot take horses off-site individually.
