"The Moonlit Steed"

Long ago, when the moon still sang and the stars were closer than they are today, a mother named Akecheta had a foal named WíyakA. They lived under the great sky, where the earth was still untamed, and the winds whispered ancient truths. Akecheta, meaning "The Protector," had a sacred bond with the Earth, one forged in fire and light, passed down through the generations.

Every night, beneath the glowing face of Grandmother Moon, Akecheta would whisper stories to her foal. The stories were not of kings or battles, but of the horses born from the stars—WíyakA’s ancestors. They were mighty and free, with manes woven from the very breath of the wind, hooves that echoed like thunder, and eyes that saw into the soul of the world.

One night, when the moon hung low and golden, Akecheta led her foal to a quiet meadow. The grasses swayed like waves, and the air smelled of cedar and sage. WíyakA was no longer a child, but the young horse still had much to learn.

“Mother,” WíyakA asked, “why do you wait for the moon to rise before you speak to me?”

Akecheta looked up at the moon, her face glowing in its soft light. “Because, my child,” she said, “the moon is the keeper of secrets, and her light is where dreams are born. I wait to share the wisdom of our ancestors, for the moon helps our words reach the stars.”

That night, as they stood together under the shining light, WíyakA felt the earth beneath his hooves tremble. It was not from fear, but from recognition—he had heard the song of the stars, and now he understood the meaning of the stories. His mother’s love was as ancient as the land itself, and as enduring as the moon’s steady light.

The next morning, when the sun rose, WíyakA was no longer just a foal. He had become a creature of the stars and the earth, ready to carry forward the legacy of his mother and their people.

At the core of our mission are the Three R’s: Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Repurpose—a promise we make to every horse whose life we touch.

We Rescue horses from the heartbreaking reality of slaughter, stepping in when all hope seems lost. Each life we save is a life that matters—a soul deserving of dignity, compassion, and a future.

We Rehabilitate with patience and love, healing not only bodies, but broken spirits. Through skilled care, gentle hands, and unwavering belief, we help them rediscover trust, strength, and the will to live again.

We Repurpose by giving these horses new paths forward—whether as companions, therapy partners, riding horses, or simply beloved members of a family. Every horse has a purpose, and we are here to help them find it.

Our mission is more than rescue—it’s a journey of redemption and renewal. We are their sanctuary, their second chance, and their voice. Because every horse deserves more than survival—they deserve to be seen, to be valued, and to thrive.

FUN FACT FRIDAY! Are you familiar with the many adaptations that help your horse stay warm during the cold winter months?

🌾 Hindgut digestion of hay produces the most heat, acting as a small furnace inside of the horse. This is why free choice, good quality hay is so important in the winter.

💪 Horses have a huge muscle mass and muscle activity produces heat. This includes running and playing and even shivering if their body temperature starts to drop. It is important to remember that these activities also will result in a bigger caloric demand so free choice hay and in some cases, grain, is often needed.

🧥 To blanket or not to blanket is a constant debate but either way, as it starts to get cold your horse will grow a thicker coat. If you decide to leave your horse unblanketed you may notice that they look “fluffy”. This is due to a phenomenon called piloerection where the hair stands up to better trap air within. Two layers of the coat also help with warmth. The inner layer is softer and has air pockets to create an insulating layer. The outer layer is coarse and has oils that keep moisture from penetrating the insulating layer and keep the horse warm.

⚖️ Wild horses go into the winter heavier than ideal and the fat serves as an extra layer of insulation. However, if a horse is going to be kept heavily blanketed and in a barn during the cold weather months this is unnecessary and can lead to obesity related issues.

🦵Their distal limbs (below the knees and hocks) are made of mostly bones and tendons, tissues that are resistant to the cold temperatures.

🦶The hooves have an alternative route of blood circulation through larger vessels that can be used in low temperatures. This is why horses can stand in snow without detrimental effects.

👃A horse’s nose has a robust blood supply and is rounded so that it is less susceptible to frostbite than a human’s nose.
