Powhatan Equine Rescue League is a 501(c)3 organization formed from a dream of horse lovers who have been involved in equine rescue for years. Our dream became a reality in January of 2014, and we were officially incorporated in the state of Virginia on March 21, 2014.
We at PERL are committed to making a difference even if it is just one horse at a time. According to statistics over 19,600 horses were sent to slaughter in Mexico and Canada in 2022. Here at PERL, we use micro-chipping of our rescues in hopes of forever keeping them out of the slaughter pipeline.
