Rescue, Rehabilitate, Relocate and Re-educate

Second Chance Equine Association

(SCEA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. We are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and relocation of horses and other equine. We are not a sanctuary but commit our resources to helping equine in life threatening situations. SCEA is committed to providing quality equine education for both members and non-members, and their horses. We provide multiple free seminars every year on subjects from equine first aid to barn winterization. We also provide free and low-cost horsemanship clinics, helping participants improve their relationship with their horses, and helping their horses become safe and reliable partners.

Did you know...?

At SCEA, our primary mission is to prevent abuse and neglect of horses. We believe that many neglect cases can be resolved through consultation, education, and support for those who may unintentionally neglect their horses, helping to avoid the need for seizure and legal action. While there are instances where seizure is unavoidable, it places a significant strain on resources for both law enforcement and rescue organizations. Your support is crucial for us to offering valuable education to horse owners. Follow us on Facebook for updates on our events, including seminars and clinics!
