Sammy is 40 years old and his owners have passed. He's alone at the farm which has been sold. The owner's sons are looking out for Sammy. He'll see a vet today and if the vet thinks it's safe to transfer, he'll come to Serenity Farm. He's an old guy and lost his donkey friend, Lucy, years ago. Hoping it all works out.

Yes, the singer's voice might not fit, but donkeys are tenors. So there!

Over the years, one of the things that we most enjoy is when someone who loves horses comes to visit. Many times, life or physical capacity, prevents time with horses. And where do you go when all you want to do is meet and pet horses again. You come to Serenity Farm. Our visitor is in a wheelchair and Koda allowed a kiss on the nose. Not just anyone gets to kiss this handsome fellow. She also visited with our therapy donkey, Dr. Tippy, Luka (mustang from Wyoming) and a few others. The horses love the attention have give back all that has been done for them. Because, simply, that's what horses do even when life hasn't treated them fairly. They forgive and give humans a chance.

Kaiya completed another Search and Rescue mission at SFES today. Six fly masks disappeared right before the rain. The fields were too muddy to even try to find them. Today she found them. I began hosing them 5 hours later and they smelled terrible. A deep apology to Kaiya's family if she didn't smell very good when she got home. We love her and appreciate her so much. And saving those fly masks!!!! An amazing feat!!!!!

🌟$1,000 GRANT AWARDED 🌟
Congratulations to Rhondavena LaPorte, Executive Director of Serenity Farm Equine Sanctuary Farm Equine Sanctuary and our newest Rescue Grant recipient!

A former Special Education Teacher with a lifelong bond with horses, Rhondavena built Serenity Farm on a deeply personal mission: to prevent equine neglect, abuse, and abandonment, and to give rescued horses a second chance at a meaningful life. Today, 36 equines call the farm home.

What makes Serenity Farm exceptional is the depth of its care. Surrendered and seized horses receive full medical treatment, a structured refeeding protocol, and natural horsemanship training from a team with 45 years of combined experience.

Rhondavena's background as a Large Animal Vet Assistant means she oversees much of that care directly. The farm is also fully accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, a distinction earned just six months after opening and maintained ever since.

The mission reaches beyond the horses themselves. Serenity Farm welcomes volunteers of all abilities, including adults and school-age individuals with disabilities, offering horsemanship instruction and meaningful human-animal connection for people who need it most.

Rhondavena, this $1,000 grant is a reflection of what you've built: a place where broken things are made whole. Thank you for the lives you've changed, on all four legs and two.
