I just want to thank everyone who’s reached out with such heartfelt messages…your kindness, genuine words of love & prayers mean so very much! I’ve read & cried through every message, comment & text.😪💜
So many have shared your own pictures & experiences with Romeo, expressing how much he meant to you…I hope you don’t mind me sharing a few of them…Others have shared pictures of your own heart horse that you’ve also had to say goodbye to…I thank you for sharing & I’m so sorry.😪 The pain from a broken heart is the absolute worst.💔
One silver lining during times like these is being reminded of the people who truly love & care about you…life is so busy & when someone takes time to reach out with such love & compassion, just to let you know they love & care about you, it’s so meaningful…🥹

During the toughest moments at the sanctuary, I’ve sometimes questioned are we really doing anything that’s impactful? We’re a small sanctuary, we can only take in a limited amount of horses & a limited amount of therapy students…sanctuary work can feel lonely at times & I have a habit of being hard on myself & focusing more on my own shortcomings. To see pictures & hear how being at the sanctuary has been a bright spot in your life has been uplifting & again, I thank you.🥹God has blessed me through your messages. They’ve been a gift to me.💜🙏💜 ❤️ 🌈

My heart is so broken💔😭This evening we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Romeo…it was very sudden & I just can’t believe he’s gone…what are we going to do without him here?😪Romeo was the only horse at our sanctuary who was not a rescue horse…he was my first horse…my heart horse. I’m thankful that unlike most of our rescue horses, he only knew a life of being so very loved.
Things will never be the same here without Romeo greeting everyone with kisses, hogging the fan in the barn, wandering over to help untie a horse or just to hang out during a lesson…
I thank the good Lord for the time He entrusted me with Romeo…I only wish it had been longer…I pray he is running free in Heaven & that I’ll see him again…so long my sweet sweet boy, Romeo “Stretch.”💜💜

What do suppose Jasmine & Kid are saying to each other? “You look funny, no YOU look funny!”😆Jasmine wasn’t so sure about wearing her fly mask but she was a brave girl…she willingly let me ease it over her ears once she was given a little extra time to check it out.🥰Today was the first time Nova, Kid & Jasmine were presented with fly masks since we took them in & they were very trusting.🥰
Even though it’s not yet officially summer, it feels like it…mornings now consist of making sure horses have some fly protection & sunburn protection for the noses that sunburn. Fly & sun protection plus grooming for everybody only add an extra 3.5 hours to horse chores time.😂But it is in deed, a labor of love & for me, very therapeutic! 🥰

There’s never a lack of things to be done around here & never a lack of the best company ever while you’re doing them.🥰 ...

Happy weekend from all of us at Steele Magnolia Sanctuary!🐴🌼🦄🌸Hope you get outside, breathe in fresh air…maybe plant a few flowers, work in the garden, go for a walk, sit under a tree & read a good book, take a swim, hang with some horses… unless you’d rather be like Princess Marshmellow who doesn’t want any part of the outdoors ever…just give her a cushy window seat with her princess bowl.😂

Bentley waiting patiently for his carrot treats after our last student of the day…how handsome is he?! And such a sweet boy! Couldn’t help but spend some extra time with him before putting together tomorrow’s feed.🥰

Steele Magnolia Sanctuary

Founded by Bob & Julie Scarborough in 2019, Steele Magnolia Sanctuary, 501 (c)(3) provides a permanent refuge for abused and neglected horses and other animals where they can live out their lives enjoying kindness and compassion.

The sanctuary offers a place of peace, healing and hope for horses and humans. Once our horses are restored back to health, they become the healers to children and adults by participating in a variety of non-mounted Therapeutic Equine Assisted Activities. Studies have indicated that therapeutic equine activities have been successful in helping people show marked improvements in the following areas:


  • Assertiveness

  • Emotional awareness
