We owe our horses a fair and responsible partnership of good care and understanding, because their lives have essentially been given to us. People have used horses for centuries, for work, war, sport and companionship. We are very excited that we were designated 170(b)(1)(a)vi, a non profit organization for the prevention of cruelty to animals, under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. The volunteers devote many hours each day to helping, learning about and caring for several horses rescued from abandonment, abuse or a miserable trip to the slaughterhouse.Įye of the Storm received its final IRS determination in 2004 after a 5- year working period. The farm was founded by the late Nina Arbella, a long-time horse owner who was inspired by Stormy, her first and best equine friend. Horses that come to this barn remain here for life, or may be placed in approved homes once they are completely rehabilitated. Located in Stow, Massachusetts, Eye of the Storm is an equine rescue center dedicated to saving the lives of horses who have been abused, neglected or abandoned.
