The Equine Rescue League (ERL)is located in Leesburg, Virginia. Its current location is on Churchland Farm, where it has been location since it began in 1990. The ERL has rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed hundreds of equines during that time.

The ERL is a non-profit organization that supports the responsible use of working, sport and pleasure horses and ponies. Our goals are to:

- Provide care, rehabilitation and training for horses and other large animals at the ERL farm shelter, and to adoption them to qualified persons.
- Provide transportation and holding facilities for animals seized by county and state humane officers and for unwanted animals.
- Create educational programs (on the subjects of basic health care and horse abuse) for horse owners, youngsters and humane officers.
- Create public awareness about horse neglect and abuse issues.
- Investigate, in coordination with humane officers, to reduce abuse and neglect occurrences in the Greater Washington area.
- Provide humane euthanasia services for aged or ill horses to prevent these animals from being subjected to the horror of auctions and slaughter transportation.
