Our sanctuary horses out enjoying a little bit of sunshine, in between the storms!!

Horses like Kali are so often talked about in terms of miles, usefulness, and what they can’t do anymore. The question comes up again and again: “Why keep her?”

When things get tough, I hear another question sometimes too — “Why don’t you just stop?”

This is why.

Kali, and horses like her, are the ones who reached a point where the world decided they were “done.” But their lives didn’t stop mattering. Their need to be safe, to be cared for, and to be loved didn’t end just because their working days did.

I made a commitment to them — that they would have love, that they would be safe, and that their days would be filled with gentle hands and people who show up for them. A place where they don’t have to earn their keep. Where their value isn’t measured, it’s simply understood.

Kali tells us every day where she wants to be. She chooses the quiet time, the calm space, the slow moments. That kind of trust — a horse choosing to stay, to settle, to breathe — is built over time. It comes from patience, from showing up, from keeping the same promise day after day.

And it’s a promise carried by more than one person. It’s held up by the volunteers who show up every day to care for them and love them, and by the supporters and community who stand behind this work, helping us provide the sanctuary they deserve and keep our commitment to them. Horses like Kali are here because people believe their lives still matter.

Sanctuary isn’t just about rescue. It’s about keeping that promise to the ones already here.

And that promise is something we hold together. 💛

Hi ! Our rescue is in desperate need of some help with fundraising. Is there anyone who might have some time to volunteer to help fundraise?
The monthly cost to keep the rescue running is about $3,000 a month. Since Covid, I have been the primary support of the rescue and I am at the point where I just don't know how I can keep it up. This year, what is supposed to be our biggest fundraiser, Giving Tuesday, we only raised $50. We really need help!
I work full-time so have very little time to fundraise and where we are, although it is BEAUTIFUL, it's not condusive to having onsite events.
ANYONE who can offer some help, I and the horses, would greatly appreciate it!
Please message me or send me an email to [email protected].

If you would to donate, you can donate on our website at https://equineassist.org/donate/.
Or via Zelle to [email protected].
Any help would be amazing!
Thank you!!

URGENT! We only have until the end of the week to raise another $2300!!!
In the past two weeks, I had an emergency with my dog which cost my $1500 and then Bella getting hurt cost me $3000.
I want so badly to save these two horses from going to Auction and then to Slaughter, but I just can't do it without help!
PLEASE help me save Rhythms brothers!!
We still need to raise $2300 or I just can't do it!
Today we had another emergency at our ranch where we found out the well water is contaminated and we have to truck in water until the landlord can figure it out!
Its been a few weeks of one thing after another.
These boys deserve our help so PLEASE help if you can!
Even $5 helps! Anything you can do!
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!!

It has been 10 amazing years of rescue!
Thank you to everyone who helped support us throughout the years!!

🚨 Urgent Help Needed for Two Geldings🚨
These two beautiful geldings are in urgent need of a safe place to land — together.
They are the brothers of Rhythm, one of our cherished rescue horses at Equine Assistance Project. We’ve been wanting for years to reunite them, and we finally have the opportunity… but we need help.
💔 The family caring for the two boys have to leave their property and can no longer keep them. We were prepared to step in, but we simply cannot take on two more horses without financial support.
🛑 Here’s what we need:
A loving, forever home or foster home where they can stay together
OR
One or more committed monthly sponsors to cover their care costs ($800/month) so we can safely bring them into the rescue. We already have a commitment of $300 a month for 6 months, but need help with the balance for the 6 months or longer(until we can place them).
These boys are gentle, bonded, and deserve a secure, loving future together. We have room and the will to help… we just don’t have the funding.
If you’ve ever thought about sponsoring a rescue horse, this is the time. If you know someone looking for a sweet pair of geldings to give a soft landing to, please reach out.
📩 DM us or email [email protected] if you can help — even sharing this post could make the difference. Let's give these boys the second chance they’ve waited so long for. ❤️

Update on Little Girl: First off I want to say, I am the admin of this group and NO this is not a scam. We are a nonprofit horse rescue Equine Assistance Project. Little Girl is a rescue horse.
So Update: The vet came out today and Little Girl has two really bad abscesses on two of her feet. The vet was nice enough to discount some of the costs and the bill for today came to $479.00(see receipt below). Our big issue now is that because she is in pain, she is kicking and its not safe for us to treat her here at the rescue.
At this point, we had two options, euthanize her(not an option for me) or the vet offered to take her home and treat her for the next month, where she can sedate her every couple days.
The cost for her to go to the vet for a month is $3000. (waiting for her to email me a copy of the agreement which I will post.)
The only reason I am not doing a Facebook Fundraiser or Some other platform is they charge us a fee now and take 30 days to get the funds!
I personally have supported the rescue for over two years now and really could use the help!!
SO please, every little bit helps!

💔 Little Girl Needs a Miracle 💔

This is a hard post for me to write. Our sweet rescue horse, Little Girl, is in serious trouble. She has suddenly gone lame in three legs, and without immediate vet care, her future is uncertain. Our vet has reviewed her condition and needs to come out as soon as possible—but the visit alone will cost $600, and we simply don’t have the funds right now.

Little Girl has already been through so much, and despite the odds stacked against her, we refuse to give up on her. Some might see her as a lost cause, but we see a fighter—a horse who still has so much love and life left to give.

We are asking, begging, for your help today. Please, if you can donate even a few dollars, it will make all the difference in giving Little Girl the chance she deserves. And if you can’t donate, please share this post!

Little Girl’s story isn’t over yet. With your kindness and generosity, we can write a new chapter—one of hope, healing, and love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with us in this fight. ❤️🐴
