18 years ago Desi you came into our sanctuary at the age of 14, only being told you probably wouldn't live for only just a few years more, you fooled everyone, including us to spend 18 years with us. You were such a gentle soul, so kind to anyone that met you, and you were the most heroic horse. No more pain buddy, forever running the green pastures at the bridge. Until next time Desi, rest easy we got Ruby in our care and we'll take over your brotherly love and guidance of her from here. Love you Desi always in our hearts ♥️

We’re just a month away from our 2nd annual fundraiser! We have a few updates! The replica car from Smokey and the Bandit will be joining the display of cars! Also with the amazing pulled pork there will be sides of home made Mac and cheese and Cole slaw!
We will also have an ATM on the grounds for the day. Spend a family day with us and our residents at the sanctuary. Raffles, bake sale, lots of food, kids games, dunk tank, replica cars and visiting with the residents. Plus enjoy live music from the Bobby Allen show! Come and see Joe the Camel he will be here for a couple of hours. So much to do and see!! See you all next month!!

The fidelity of a horse is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibilities than the friendship of a human being. The bond with a horse is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be….rest easy sweet Wyatt, you are already greatly missed. You were such a good boy, the most trustworthy horse and always wanting to please. Until next time ❤️

Hello everyone! We would like to send out a huge thank you to our farrier Kurt for the 16 years of farrier service to our residents. Kurt has decided to retire from doing farrier services. He is going to be greatly missed not only by the horses but by us as well.
That being said we need your help. We have an opportunity to have another farrier step in and take over however the price of each trim is now $55 trim versus $25 and we also would need to go to a 12 week rotation so more horses would need to done each time. With cost of hay this year and losing one field of hay due to all the rain our funds are extremely tight. This is where you come in! I am asking if you would be willing to sponsor one horse monthly for $55 to pay for their farrier needs. We will need monthly for a few months to get everyone done then it would be every 12 weeks (possibly 8 weeks for the fast growers). We could really use your help with this! $55 every 10/12 weeks isn’t much for one person but for us it’s all the horses and the funds scarce… if you’re able to help please direct message me I will let you know what horse you will be sponsoring. We appreciate alll your support through the years! Thank you in advance! We will need about 25 sponsors!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!! We would like to introduce Otis and Scottie. They will be arriving to our sanctuary in the next couple of weeks. Sadly Scottie’s owner passed away last week and her wish was for Scottie to come to our sanctuary. Otis has been retired from riding and will be joining our equine family. We are super excited to meet these two fine gentlemen ❤️
