MISSION & PROGRAMS

Mission:
The Whole Horse Place's mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of old horses and humans of all ages by fostering bonds through comprehensive horse care and education. We rescue senior horses and give them new purpose in teaching humans responsibility, confidence, self respect, resiliency, and emotional honesty.

Our organization provides programs involved with equine rescue & retirement
Our organization provides outreach and/or public education programs involving horses.
100% of our total programs and services are equine-related.
Our organization is directly responsible for the care and shelter of equines involved in our programs.
Our organization does not CURRENTLY use satellite, overflow, foster, and/or outreach facilities.

Please describe what steps your organization takes to ensure that:
1) all interactions between your equines and people are mutually beneficial and conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for Human-Equine Interactions stated below;
2) all equines in the care of our organization and/or equines that participate in the organization's program have access to clean drinking water at all times; nutritious food in sufficient quantity, including natural forage such as pasture grass and/or hay; appropriate veterinary, farrier, and dental care; shelter and protection from the weather; sufficient safe space to move around comfortably on a daily basis; and daily opportunity to freely interact and have contact with other equines:

At The Whole Horse Place, all human-equine interactions are guided by respect, responsibility, and mutual benefit, in alignment with the EQUUS Foundation Guidelines for Human-Equine Interactions. Our programs emphasize that participants are there to care for the horses—not the other way around. Youth and veterans learn to read equine body language, respond with empathy, and build trust through consistent, respectful handling. Riding is never the goal; trust and connection are.
     
     Our horses have continuous access to clean drinking water and are fed multiple times daily with high-quality hay, senior feed, or pellet hay and senior feed mashes, and appropriate supplements. Each horse also has slow feeders of bluegrass straw for 24/7 access to something to chew on. Each horse receives routine veterinary, dental, chiropractic, massage therapy, and farrier care, along with individualized support for age-related conditions such as arthritis or ulcers.
     
     Horses are housed in 12x12 or 10x15 stalls with 24/7 access to attached dry paddocks, allowing them to move freely and engage in natural behaviors year-round. Each stall is equipped with a fan during hot weather for comfort and heat relief. Horses also participate in trail walks and hand-grazing in open meadows. All equines have regular social interaction with other horses and are never kept in isolation unless medically required, and even then, they have access to see the other horses.
     
     Even non-rideable horses are active participants in the program through groundwork, grooming, and companionship. We are committed to providing a safe, enriching, and compassionate environment that prioritizes the lifelong well-being and dignity of every horse in our care.

Equine Transition Services:
Overview of our programs involved with rescue, rehabilitation, retraining, re-homing and/or retirement:
     The Whole Horse Place provides a safe haven for senior and at-risk horses that would otherwise face euthanasia. We specialize in rescue, rehabilitation, retraining tune-ups, and long-term retirement, integrating each horse into our hands-on youth and veteran programs whenever possible.
     
     When a rescued horse needs more space or specialized care than our 2.5-acre site can provide, we board them at a trusted partner facility with 25 acres of divided pasture for rehab or retirement. We also send horses to professional trainers for “tune-ups” to ensure they’re physically and emotionally ready to safely interact with program participants.
     
     At our main barn, each horse enjoys 12×12 or 10×15 stalls equipped with fans in summer and 24/7 access to attached dry paddocks. We supplement forage with hand-grazing and trail rides on leased Alpine Evergreen Trails meadows. Every horse receives routine veterinary, dental, and farrier care, plus individualized support for age-related conditions.
     
     Our focus is on giving each horse the best possible quality of life—whether through daily program work, off-site rehabilitation, or a peaceful retirement—always guided by their unique needs.
Overview of our programs involved with providing outreach and/or public education programs involving horses:
     The Whole Horse Place offers year-round public education and outreach focused on the care, value, and emotional impact of senior horses. While we do not offer credentialed Equine Assisted Services, our programs provide powerful, hands-on experiences that teach responsibility, emotional regulation, and the importance of empathy through direct interaction with horses.
     
     Our Stable Paths program, offered free of charge, is facilitated by volunteer licensed drug and alcohol counselor, and has become a trusted community resource. The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Department and Kitsap Recovery Center now refer youth and families to the program, where participants engage in horse care, barn chores, guided discussions, and reflective activities. The horses act as mirrors, offering nonjudgmental feedback and helping participants practice emotional regulation and leadership.
     
     In addition to Stable Paths, we offer family horse time, and barn visits where community members can learn about senior horse care—feeding, grooming, basic veterinary support, and groundwork. These experiences are available year-round and supported by dedicated volunteers who help create a safe, consistent, and welcoming environment for all.

Research/Medical Use of Equines:
Our organization has never made, and would not ever consider making, equines available for research studies or medical training that involves invasive procedures and/or that which may cause pain or suffering to the equine. 

Religious Affiliation:
Our organization does not promote religious education, religious purposes, or a specific religious faith or use donations for religious education or religious purposes; require participants to be of a certain faith; require participation in religious, instruction, activities or services; or require participation in prayer, worship, religious instruction or other religious activities as a condition of receiving social or secular services offered. 

Auction Donation:
Our organization has never allowed, or would not consider allowing, an equine to be sold, transferred, released, or otherwise placed into possession of any person or organization that would cause or allow the equine to be sold at auction for slaughter. 

POLICIES: INTAKE, ASSESSMENT & TRAINING

Prior to a horse being accepted and/or arriving at the facility, the organization has the following policies in place:
    The owner of a potential equine is interviewed over the phone or in person prior to seeing the equine
    The equine is evaluated at its place of residence
    If health records are not available or are out-of-date, our veterinarian will administer appropriate vaccinations

Trial Period: Check all that apply:
    Equines are not taken on trial

Upon intake, the organization has the following quarantine policy in place:
    The equine is confined to a designated and separate area for isolation and quarantine at the facility for a prescribed period of time

The typical length of quarantine is:   Up to 10 days

Following arrival of the equine at the facility, the following is performed:
    Physical examination to include temperature, pulse and respiration by a veterinarian upon arrival
    A Henneke Body Conditioning Score or other body conditioning score is assigned by a veterinarian upon arrival
    Physical examination by a farrier
    Physical examination by a dentist

Horses are assessed for following skills and behaviors:
    Retrieval from a pasture/paddock
    Leading with a halter and lead rope
    Temperament, disposition and attitude, such as rated from very calm to very high spirited
    Saddling
    Lunging
    Loading onto and unloading off a trailer
    Mounting and dismounting
    Riding at the walk
    Riding by a beginner and/or unbalanced rider
    Tolerance to unusual objects and loud noises
    Known vices, i.e., cribbing, biting, kicking, weaving, stall walking, etc
    Grooming
    Bathing
    Tolerance to multiple handlers at the same time

Our organization has the following policies and procedures in place pertaining to the ongoing assessment of horses in its care:
    Physical examination by a veterinarian at least annually
    The Henneke Body Condition score or other body conditioning score is updated at least annually by the veterinarian
    Vaccinations are administered at least annually
    Equines at our facility may be treated by an equine chiropractor
    Equines at our facility may be treated by an equine acupuncturist
    Equines at our facility may be treated by an equine massage therapist
    Equines at our facility may be treated by an equine nutritionist

Our organization has the following policies and procedures in place pertaining to the weight-carrying or workload capabilities of horses/equines that are ridden in our care:
    Our organization evaluates the weight-carrying and workload limitations for each equine that is ridden at least annually

The following variables are considered in determining the weight-carrying and workload limitations for each equine that is ridden:
    Equine age, weight, breed, body condition, fitness, balance, health and soundness
    Equine conformation to include the top line, length of back, strength and width of loin, bone density (measured by the circumference of the cannon bone just below the knee)
    Size, shape, condition and angle of the hooves
    Participant weight, height, body proportions, balance, fitness and riding skills as well as behavioral issues and safety concerns
    Weight and proper fit of the saddle and other equipment
    Terrain and footing in the working environment
    Duration and frequency of working sessions, as the frequency with which an equine is subjected to maximum weight carrying and/or workload
    Nature and pace of work, repetitive or varied, radius of turns, degree of incline and regularity of footing when equine is subject to maximum weight-carrying capacity
    Temperature and/or weather conditions
    Seasonal impact on the equines' workload and weight-carrying capabilities and limitations


Horses provided formal training (groundwork or riding):   As needed; no set schedule

Additional information about our intake, assessment & training policies and practices:
All equines accepted into The Place of Horses are seniors, and intake decisions are made in partnership with our veterinarian. Horses must be evaluated to determine whether we can meet their medical, emotional, and physical needs. Most arrive with pre-existing conditions that require long-term care rather than retraining. We prioritize equines who are no longer rideable or have been overlooked due to age or chronic issues.
     
     When intake is being considered, the current owner is interviewed, and a site visit may be made when feasible. Our vet performs a health check at intake or soon after arrival, especially if there are no valid health records. We do not require a seven-day health certificate because in many cases the horses are coming from private homes or informal settings, and it’s more appropriate for our vet to assess them directly. Horses are housed separately during intake, in quarantine paddocks near but not in contact with the herd.
     
     Photos and body condition scores are taken at intake and updated periodically, but we are a small, volunteer-run organization and do not have formal re-evaluation checklists for every behavior or skill. Instead, we evaluate horses practically—whether they are safe around youth, tolerant of grooming and handling, and able to participate in ground-based interaction.
     
     We do not ride most of our equines, and any riding that does occur is limited, closely supervised, and based on whether the horse is physically able and willing. The small number of horses who are cleared for riding are only ridden under specific circumstances: they must be assessed by our veterinarian as physically healthy enough to carry a rider, and the activity must be appropriate for their age, condition, and temperament. Riding is never expected or routine—it is considered only if the horse is comfortable, the activity is low-impact, and the rider is within recommended weight guidelines (generally not exceeding 15% of the horse’s body weight). Most riding is limited to light, occasional sessions, often for the purpose of evaluating the horse’s comfort, giving a gentle experience to a participant, or providing the horse with light exercise, and is always supervised by experienced adults. If at any time a horse shows signs of discomfort or reluctance, riding is discontinued immediately.
     
     While we do not provide formal “training” to equines in the traditional sense, they do participate in daily handling, grooming, walking, ground driving, and other enrichment activities that involve youth and adult participants. We monitor their comfort levels closely, and if a horse appears sore, stressed, or disinterested, they are immediately given rest and adjusted expectations.
     
     We do not turn horses away based on minor behavioral issues, but we do not accept horses who are unsafe, unpredictable, or in acute medical crisis unless we are specifically asked to intervene for end-of-life care, which is decided in consultation with our vet.
     
     Our veterinarian is directly involved in all equine intake decisions. Each horse receives a veterinary check before being accepted into the program to ensure we can meet their medical and emotional needs. Intake decisions are based on whether the horse is a good fit for our environment and whether we can provide the appropriate level of long-term care.
     
     As a small, volunteer-led organization, we do not currently maintain a formal written Equine Intake Guidelines document, but we are happy to describe our intake process in detail upon request. We also do not operate a foster or adoption program, so we do not have an active Adoption/Foster Agreement.

POLICIES: BREEDING

The organization has the following policies related to breeding and stallions:
    Our organization does not conduct breeding of equines owned or under the care of our organization.
    Our main facility where our organization conducts its programs does NOT breed equines.

Additional information about our breeding policies and practices:
We do not breed horses.

POLICIES: EUTHANASIA

The organization has the following policies related to euthanasia:
    Our organization will never have an equine euthanized for space
    Our organization will have an equine euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian if the equine is a threat to itself, other equines, or people
    Our organization will have an equine euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian after all reasonable treatment options have been explored
    Euthanasia is done on site when possible to decrease trauma from transport
    Disposal of the carcass is handled within 24 hours

The following are authorized to administer the procedure for your organization in accordance with state laws:
    Veterinarian

Additional information about our euthanasia policies and practices:
Our vets uses Euthasol. it's an euthanasia solution specifally made for putting animals to sleep. (Pentobarbital Sodium and Phenytoin Sodium) Euthanasia Solution.

POLICIES: RE-HOMING

Re-homing Agreement not applicable.
Our organization has the following re-homing (adoption/purchase) policies and procedures in place:
    The organization does not re-home equines under any circumstances; our organization retains custody of our equines and ensures care of the equines for their lifetimes.

Our organization has the following policies and procedures related to horses that need to be retired, are no longer able to contribute to the mission of the organization, and/or are no longer manageable:
    The organization does not re-home equines under any circumstances; our organization retains custody of our equines and ensures care of the equines for their lifetimes.
    Equines may remain at our organization for their lifetimes
    In the case an equine is unmanageable and demonstrates repeated dangerous behaviors, the equine may be euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian
    In the case an equine is unsound and/or unhealthy and cannot be treated to relieve suffering, the equine may be euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian
    The organization will accept financial responsibility for equines in the current care of the organization that need to be retired or are no longer able to contribute to the mission of the organization if all alternatives have been explored to find the equine an appropriate placement and space is not available for the equine to remain at the organization.

Additional information about our rehoming policies and practices:
We do not rehome equines from our program. Our commitment is to provide lifetime care. In the rare instance that a horse cannot remain on-site — usually due to mobility needs that require more space than our paddocks allow — we continue to cover their board and veterinary care at a trusted off-site location managed by our long-time supporter, Dana Pederson.
     
     We’ve found that rehoming a senior horse, especially one with ongoing health needs, rarely works out in the long run. These horses often help build a child’s confidence, but once the child outgrows them or wants a horse that can do more, the senior horse gets passed on. And each new home tends to be a little less ideal than the one before. Their maintenance is expensive, and too often, their care declines over time.
     
     We don’t want that for any of our horses. Our goal is to be like Joe in Black Beauty — the kind person at the end of the story who finally gives the horse a forever home.
     
     In one unique case, Chico — a horse with a painful shoulder and navicular condition — remains at our facility under shared ownership with a veteran and long-time volunteer, Josh. When Chico’s care costs exceeded what we could sustainably cover, Josh stepped in to share both financial and hands-on responsibility. If there ever comes a time when Josh is in a position to provide Chico with a secure retirement home elsewhere, we would thoughtfully consider it. But until then, Chico is safe, supported, and very much a part of our program.
     
     Because we retain ownership (or shared ownership in rare cases) and are committed to providing lifelong care, we do not maintain a rehoming agreement and have not uploaded one.

Does your organization conduct Equine Assisted Services (EAS) at this facility in accordance with the EQUUS Foundation Guidelines on Qualifications of Organizations Conducting Equine Assisted Services (EAS)? No

One horse is care leased by The Whole Horse Place but not owned by our organization. The owner keeps him here for the cost of his feed. It's a win win for both of us.

Our horses have 24/7 access to attached paddocks and are free to turn themselves out at will. They are not locked in stalls, except for medical reasons. Because turnout and stall areas are connected, our horses choose when to rest under cover and when to move around outdoors, depending on their needs, weather, and social comfort.

We enforce our no smoking policy by informing everyone as they arrive that smoking is not allowed anywhere on the property. Most of our participants are youth, so this is rarely an issue. If an adult does need to smoke, they are told to do so only in their car, away from all activity areas. We do not currently use signs; direct communication and supervision are effective for our small program.
