ABOUT BRAVEHEARTS EQUINE CENTER BraveHearts Equine Center is located in Paris, Kentucky. Owners David and Ruth Waronker founded the nonprofit after realizing there was a need for more support systems for draft horses from abuse, slaughter, and neglect. We are primarily a draft horse rescue, the largest in the state. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome younger equines and provide a sanctuary for the senior animals or those who may need specialized care for the rest of their lives. BraveHearts is predominantly funded by donations from our supporters. Those who donate help us provide essential care to our over 100 horses and burros in need. Every dollar goes to feeding and maintaining our horses, including vet and farrier visits. It also helps us continue to save more! BraveHearts proudly supports Veterans through monthly Equine Facilitated Mentoring.
