and Horses Heal People Serenity Farm Equine Sanctuary (SFES) is a Virginia Non-Stock Corporation501C3.

We incorporated on May 27, 2016, and filed for non-profit status with the IRS on May 31, 2016. While there are many organizations in the state that are involved in equine rescue, there is critical need that has come to our attention while assisting Virginia Rescue Organizations. SFES’s mission is to prevent equine neglect, abuse, abandonment and to keep equine from suffering from starvation, negle

ct and euthanasia. Our vision includes efforts to prevent neglect, abuse, abandonment, and kill pens. We plan to do this through education and outreach by providing future and current equine owners and other relevant groups with information and resources. We also will offer programs to teach basic horsemanship to help support our organization.

Wink is an absolutely beautiful horse here at the Sanctuary. We did a DNA and learned she is a Holsteiner. She was left at a farm 13 years ago coming there when she was only 3yo. When the farm was sold and she had no where to go. The owners of the farm loved her and let her stay but she wasn’t handled so she forgot even halters. She only had a chicken friend and no other horses as friends.

Here she has 2, sometimes 3 boyfriends and is as sweet as they come.

Do you know her? We love to learn more about her.

Fearless Bird and Jack Russell. Jack is also fearless and goes up and down steps, opens doors and gets into general mischief daily. He’s a registered North American Curly Horse who looks like a sheep in winter. And, yes his registered name is Jack Russell. We thought it was due to his coloring but it MAY be because he is full of mischief.

Other nicknames:
Pig Pen
Jack Dammit
Get out of the Feedroom Jack
Get out of the volunteer Room Jack
NOW what are you doing Jack
Jack, Circus Horse
Don’t you Dare Jack

How am I doing? I am bored silly. I can’t do a thing if I want to avoid surgery. AND, I DO! The bones are still aligned and have to stay that way. So many people have met sweet Arthur and looked at his huge hooves and said you wouldn’t want HIM to step on you.

No. No, you wouldn’t!!!!

I am embarrassed that I let it happen. The x-ray is not my foot but very close to where the fracture is. The 3rd picture looks like my foot without the bruising. You may recognize Fred! I think we might be related.

Ps… I am the proud owner of a knee scooter.

Pss… Bill has to do too much without me

Psss… thank you, Bill, for the scooter

Today, King Arthur, stomped his foot (horse fly?). And his huge 1800 pound hoof landed on my foot. Then he stood there. He had no idea that he was even on my foot. I fell back and he is even bigger from the ground. I finally clucked and he took a step freeing my foot. I was lucky. It’s broken (2nd metatarsal) but not crushed.

When I got up, a hand reached out ( through the fence) to help me. The high school class was here and Dustin (one of the students) was my hero. He held me up and said, “I’ve got you. You’ll be ok. Lean on me? I will stay with you. It will be ok.” And he held me up until they could bring the golf cart over. I wish there were more Dustin’s in the world. What a kind, wonderful soul!!!! I’ve known Dustin a long time now. Today, the student was the teacher! What he could teach us all!

I plan to tell that to the world!

Today LCHS special education students will join us for the 9th year. Students come weekly for "transition to work" experience. In addition to basic following directions we teach horse safety, basic horsemanship, and general farm work, painting, building, cleaning, etc. And, we have fun! We're honored to host many groups here at the farm.

Yesterday afternoon, we had the most amazing visitor. Our visitor was a little girl, virtually non-verbal, who was able to recite The Wonky Donkey song by Craig Smith. It's one of our favorites so we were delighted.

Then we learned that she had never met a real donkey. WELLLLLL, off to the donkey pasture we went. Watching the donkeys gather around her and seeing the amazement and joy on her face made our week. Isabella was her favorite donkey. Jose and Mambo really liked her and stayed right beside her the whole time. Isabella demonstrated her ear-breaking bray and this little girl danced in pleasure.

She's from far away, but I suspect she will remember the donkeys.
