Our Story

A Horse Tale officially became a registered not-for-profit in the spring of 2013, but the story began several years before, when founder Kerri Fenoff fell in love with a horse named Tucker. In 2012, Kerri was helping on a farm where the owner unfortunately fell ill and could no longer sustain the farm and its animals. The family had scheduled an appointment to slaughter their 15 Appaloosas horses. This is where Kerri's devotion, determination and motivation came into play. She did whatever it took to help those animals, and in the end, all of the horses were saved.

That moment in history sparked the vision to help build a foundation, a purpose, a goal, and a mission to help save horses in need.

Our Mission

With over 400 dedicated members and volunteers, we have established an organization that is trying to make a difference. A Horse Tale Rescue is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for the horses that pass through our gates. We promote rehabilitation and when possible facilitate rehoming. For some, A Horse Tale remains their forever home.

Through hard work and perseverance, we are proud to say that we became a fully Registered Canadian charity (#83218 8387 RR0001) in January 2015.

We will continue to save as many horses as we can by providing them with the quality of life they deserve, while partnering with the community that surrounds us.

Our Vision - Giving Back

AHT Rescue understands the human benefits of equine presence. With this in mind, we look to continue our AHT Experience Program’s outreach of supporting community groups through contact with our rescued horses.

The more we give, the more we receive.
