Leocor Farms — a sanctuary for rescued horses in New York's Southern Tier

Our mission

A safe, permanent home — not a waiting room.

Leocor Farms is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit horse sanctuary, classified as a 509(a)(2) public charity, nestled in the rolling hills of Troupsburg. We are dedicated to providing a safe, long-term home for rescued, retired, and at-risk horses.

Through compassionate care, open pastures, and a peaceful rural environment, we restore dignity, trust, and well-being to every horse who comes through our gates. Horses who arrive here stay here — rehabilitation is never conditional on adoption.

What we do

Three commitments, kept every single day

Sanctuary work is unglamorous and relentless: hay at dawn, water in January, farrier visits, vet bills, fence repairs. These are the promises that structure it.

Rescue & Protection

Immediate safety and long-term sanctuary for horses facing neglect, hardship, or an uncertain future — including intake support and quarantine.

Pasture Living

Natural herd environments with safe shelter, spacious turnouts, quality forage, and attentive daily care through every season.

Community Support

Volunteers, sponsors, and neighbors who show up for chores, fence lines, and fundraising make this sanctuary possible.

Get involved

The sanctuary runs on people who show up.

We operate on a strict zero-administrative-overhead model, run entirely by dedicated volunteers. No experience with horses is required — most of what needs doing is honest, teachable work.

100% tax-deductible

Feed a horse through the winter.

Every dollar goes directly toward hay, grain, farrier and veterinary care, biosecurity, and shelter for the horses who call our 17-acre sanctuary home.
