Green Acres Farm Animal Foundation Farm animal sanctuary focusing on species appropriate husbandry and science-based training practices in Meriden, KS. We appreciate all of your support!

Green Acres Farm Animal Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit animal sanctuary. Our primary focus areas are rehabilitation, training, and providing a forever sanctuary for those who would likely end up in an unfortunate situation if they left the Foundation due to medical or behavioral issues. We strive to use positive reinforcement training methods to help the animals learn necessary husbandry behavio

rs such as medical treatments, as well as to train animals to demonstrate the benefits and effectiveness of the method. We currently house 16 horses, 2 miniature horses, 2 miniature donkeys, 2 small breed cattle, 13 goats, 8 cats and 2 dogs, and as you can imagine this is a lot of work and expense. Every like, share and mention matters!

Brought Libby, Lark and Riley up from the pasture to see some potential adopters in the next week. Fingers crossed they find their people 🙏 🤞🤞🤞😃 and if it isn't in the stars they will get some more handling under their belts.

Libby: 8 years old grade QH, sorrel with halter on in photos

Lark: 6 year old grade QH, bay with blaze

Riley: 5 year old grade QH

Looking for a fall project? These girls are pretty clean slates and could go in any direction.

Give us a shout if you are cool enough to train a mare 😉

So many pretty flowers in the alfalfa/native field 😍

FYI...we tried to kill the alfalfa and plant native prairie mix but we didn't spray the alfalfa at the right time so it didn't die 🙃 so now we have a mixture, but at least I get some flowers!

Oh Stinky! We need to talk about that tummy!

ABOUT RILEY:

Riley came to us as a 4 month old baby who ended up at auction alone, sick, and with a crooked jaw.

She grew out of the crooked mouth, and into a spunky little turd!

I'm not going to lie to ya folks, this little mare is full of shenanigans and bad decisions 🤣. She is super smart, super athletic, and needs Jesus a little! If there is a mess to get into she is at the front of the herd getting into it.

Riley currently lives out on pasture with mares and geldings. Riley is a very easy keeper and does great on pasture or a round bale, I don't think we have ever had to grain her once she was up to weight.

She is an easy catch, leads, stands for farrier and vet, and is working on loading.

Adoption application required, possibly delivery for a fee within 100 miles of Meriden, KS.

BIG discount available for 4H kiddos, or any referral from a trusted trainer.

Message us for details! She's ready to be your new bestie!

ABOUT LARK:

Lark came to us as a 5 month old baby who lost her mama in the kill pen. She is a nosy little beast who is happy to be involved in whatever is going on around her and is known to "borrow" tools while we are out working on fence 😆.

She is smart as a whip, VERY talkative, and middle of the herd. She currently lives out on pasture with mares and geldings. LARK is a very easy keeper who thrives on consistent and calm training, and she is quick on her feet for sure!

We lost an unofficial founder this week and the world won't be the same without him. Chase Kesl was instrumental in getting our hay farming off the ground without which we quite literally couldn't do what we do. He and his girls built pens, planted, mowed and baled and he was always there for a quick text or a chat when I had no idea what I was doing. His quick wit and caring nature will carry on with his amazing wife and daughters.

Please forgo any donation to us and send to the Kesl Children Education Fund

Our Story

Our mission is to rescue farm animals in need and provide them with rehabilitation, training, and forever sanctuary, if necessary. We adopt out a limited number of horses to approved homes, and provide a forever home to those whose injuries place them at too high a risk to rehome. Many have come from the slaughter pipeline and for that reason, horses must be able to walk, trot and canter calmly under saddle before being adopted. Our goats and cattle are not for adoption at this time. Our second generation farm in NE Kansas aims to produce the forage needed to sustain our sanctuary animals, and to inspire humans to manage land in partnership with nature. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization, your donations are tax deductible!
