Each year thousands of healthy horses are purchased inexpensively by people known as Kill Buyers, who then ship the horses to Canada or Mexico for slaughter.  The Kill Buyers are paid per pound for horse meat  shipped overseas for human consumption. The plight of these horses is inhumane—and horrific.

   Circle A’s goal is to save as many as possible from the gruesome trip to slaughter. Our horses come to us depleted, sad, starved, lame, injured, and abused both mentally and physically. They are in need of veterinary services, dental, special grain and supplements, as well as farrier work.  Most importantly, they need love and compassion, and learn how to be a horse again.
