The Equine Rescue League accepts neglected horses from Loudoun and neighboring counties. Since 1990, the ERL has helped more than 1,000 animals find new homes, receive care and avoid auction and slaughterhouse abuse. The League also works with local humane societies and law enforcement to investigate cases of neglect and abuse and educates the public on proper horse care and stable management.
