I had a volunteer tour of the SWFL Horse Rescue facility. Therese was very informative about the history of the volunteer and the horses in their care. You can tell from the volunteers working, the maintenance and condition of the facilities that the horses are all very well cared for. I’m excited to get back into my horse rescue volunteer work after my move to SWFL. If you are looking for a volunteer program and you have a love for horses, you must visit SWFL Horse Rescue in south Punta Gorda!

We really enjoyed getting to know the history on the horses and their road to recovery. They do a great job caring for the horses.

Went to this rescue today for a volunteer tour and it was such an amazing experience. Our guide knew everything there was to know about each one of the horses. They keep the stables and the paddocks were kept clean. They were getting ready to help a horse that was having an issue with their hoove, the gentleness of the men taking care of this horse was so heart warming. The horses love to see their caregivers coming and that speaks volumes. The care provided at this facility is absolutely incredible. I have scheduled my orientation and cannot wait to be part of their volunteer team! I highly recommend taking the time to either tour or volunteer at this rescue! Me and my husband had the most amazing time!

Thank you for giving me and my family a wonderful tour! The volunteers are very knowledgeable and passionate about the rescued horses---you can see they have developed a real bond with them. My hope is more people will visit, participate in their events or donate to them financially or in kind---especially for much needed veterinary services---to provide continued good care. Some horses are adoptable, but many are sanctuary, which means every dime counts for their nutritional and medical necessities.

SWFHR is a magical place. Each horse base their own pasture cleaned daily, their own stable, also cleaned daily and every horse is cleaned every day. When a horse passes away, they are laid to rest on the ranch and there is a reflection area to sit and remember their lives. All the volunteers work extremely hard each day and care immensely for the horses. Matt and Tina have created a beautiful place for the horses to heal or just spend the rest of their life. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the family of volunteers.

Made an impromptu reservation to see the horses while on vacation in Ft Myers, FL. The three of us were driven around in an electric golf cart and shown all the horses that are being cared for at the ranch. Some of the horses have amazing recovery stories. I wished I lived here so I could volunteer!!

I had a wonderful experience visiting SWFHR. My tour guide was very knowledgable about the ranch and every single horse they care for. You could feel his love and passion for the mission of the ranch. The horses all look well cared for and loved. What a beautiful facility for horses who have experienced trauma to be able to come to.

Beautiful run facility run by passionate staff and volunteers. Some horses will live out their days in this sanctuary, while others are properly rehabbed and trained before becoming adoptable. Please support this charity! $10 a month goes a long way!

Amazing organization! We recently toured the Southwest Florida Horse Rescue. Everything was well organized. Each horse has an individualized care plan. The staff & volunteer team & obviously work very well together. Looking forward to spending more time with this group. I would encourage anyone to tour the facility & see the wonderful work being done!!

Peaceful volunteers taking care of aged horses set for dog food, abused, and surrendered for no longer wanting to care for. This place is a treasure of compassion
