Sixteen Hands Horse Sanctuary

Sixteen Hands Horse Sanctuary is located off SR 64 at the Manatee / Hardee County line.  We were formed as non profit in september of 2007. Currently 16 Hands is home to over 20 permanent resident horses. The sanctuary is unique in that we do not adopt out the horses to private homes, we offer a lifetime sanctuary so the horse never have to suffer abuse or neglect in their lifetime. We offer educational programs for; these programs are designed to teach responisblity, respect, and commitment to all living creatures and specifically the horse. One of the most important services we offer is knowledge.   Volunteers are always needed:  We need people for facility maintenance, grooming horses, offsite fundraisers, onsite fundraisers and much more!
