Happy Trails Horse Rescue earns global recognition
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) --Happy Trails Horse Rescue in Bend has earned global recognition for its work helping horses in need.
The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries awarded Happy Trails full accreditation earlier this month.
The designation means the rescue meets rigorous animal care and management standards confirmed through an on-site inspection.
GFAS leaders praised the Happy Trails team for providing safe refuge for horses at risk and for supporting the community through education and outreach programs.
Happy Trails founder Dianne Scott says the process helped strengthen operations and reaffirm the group’s commitment to transparency and high-quality care.
