Map of New York by countiesMeadowgate is a 501 © (3) non-for-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of abused, neglected, or abandoned equine.  We provide rescue, rehabilitation, and placement services.  Because we believe it is imperative that people understand the incredible responsibility of horse ownership, we also provide services to elevate community awareness about the plight of abused and neglected horses and to encourage meaningful life experiences through safe and proper equine care.

Our motto—where tears disappear—speaks to our goal: to provide needed care and sanctuary to neglected and abused horses. We offer a well-designed rescue and rehabilitation program, which allows our horses to be sponsored, adopted, or permanently placed. 

We are the only rescue, emergency care, and rehabilitation facility for equine located in the Finger Lakes Region of west/central New York.  We invite you to browse our website and learn about our programs, including our Ponderosa Pals program for youth, knowing that our Web site will inspire you to get involved and help our equine friends.

Donations are tax-deductible contributions that will enable us to continue and expand our work

Due to recent slanderous accusations by Quarter Acre Rescue Ranch, Meadowgate and it's board members would like to make it perfectly clear that we are not "breeders" and never have been. If there are babies at our facility it is because they were rescued at that age or we rescued a pregnant mare. It is not and never has been our intentions to breed. Due to QARR's owners misconstrued conception of Meadowgate we are providing a link that you may look at if you so desire.

New England Equine Rescue

This link has posted the "garbage" nonsense of QARR, however it also explains the truth of New England Equine Rescue and Meadowgate's combined efforts to help QARR when they posted an SOS nationwide in which we both responded. This generous offer by NEER and Meadowgate to help, has turned into a slanderous fiasco in which we no longer will step forward in this manner to help others who claim to be equine rescues without first investigating their credibility regardless of their claimed financial distresses. This has also educated us in the fact that there are "rescues" out there who are not genuine rescues. I highly recommend before establishing any kind of relationship with equine rescues that their credibility is checked. Most reputable rescues will be a non profit 501(c)3 organization. Those that are not should be investigated by you so that you will know whether or not you want to be associated with them. There are always exceptions.

I highly urge you to be very careful in what internet groups you become part of. Groups that are formed to discuss "issues" and "causes". Are these genuine problems or a figment of someone's twisted mind? Beware of what and who has formed the group. Discernment is part of every day life. Learn to discern and protect yourself and your own interests by investigating.

Meadowgate is a registered non profit 501(c)3 organization that is committed to standing in the gap for those that cannot. We remove horses from suffering lifestyles and "make tears disappear". We have high credentials and work right along side of several different county SPCA's, Humane Society's, and law enforcement at every level.
