Rosemary Farm

Rosemary Farm A magical sanctuary for equines, three hours & a world away from NYC. Home to over 100 rescued souls. All breeds of horses rescued and protected for life.

Wild mustangs, too! Established 501c-3 charity. Visit this Catskills gem! www.rosemaryfarm.org 501(c)3 Mission statement:
“At Rosemary Farm Sanctuary, our mission is to rescue horses in need, and protect them for life. We save equines from slaughter, neglect, and abuse. Most have been passed from owner to owner, never knowing a herd or consistency. When they arrive here, they are home. We provide

each with the care, training, and space to recover, for however long they need. If a horse cannot recover, they live while they are comfortably able, and 'cross the rainbow bridge' with dignity and friends by their side. Our horses do not live or die alone. Working closely with our professional team of equine specialists, we make our decisions based on what is best for each horse and the sanctuary family. Our horses live in dynamic natural environments, in herd groups, creating vital bonds that are honored and protected. While adoption is not our focus, select horses may be available to adopt, under a limited contract, to the right home. In addition, we educate horse owners and the general public about the wretched conditions many horses suffer, and how they can improve both the physical and emotional guardianship of horses. Rosemary Farm is 'Where horses get to be horses'.”

The mustangs settling in after their sunrise delivery, stretching their legs and moving. This is such a precious moment, their first day at the Sanctuary. They have no idea yet that this is home, but it sure looks good.

Early risers caught our sunrise video of the two mustangs from Skydog Sanctuary as they arrived at Rosemary Farm Sanctuary (to be clear, these were rescued by our friends, but were never at their location). Skydog intercepts so very many mustangs in need and sometimes asks trusted partners if they can help by welcoming some, we said YES. Which is how the two, now Naomi and Griffin, became the newest members of Rosemary Farm.
Here are some stills taken just after they unloaded at 5 am, onto our grassy welcome paddock.
Griffin was born in holding pens after his pregnant mother was rounded up, and lived like that for four long years. The BLM sold him earlier this year, without adoption contract protection, just a straight sale, and he was flipped almost immediately into an auction, where he was bought by a dealer to sell to slaughter. Can you imagine how terrifying that was? To say he is overwhelmed is an understatement. He may has well have just landed on the moon here. This is likely the first grass he has even walked on, the first tree he has touched. He is a 4 yo mustang. It is astounding how these icons are being treated. We, as a nation, can do better.
At least here, a few at a time, we are.

Stay tuned for early Sunday announcements (and arrivals!)
Meanwhile enjoy this view of Dottie and Ephy enjoying exclusive time on the grassy lawn. Because they are adorable together.

While we wait for the trailer to arrive, I wanted to share a video of Sherlock. This stallion is so handsome and so kind. He is on a daily med to suppress his cancer growth, and spends his days in a paddock with his lady friend Blossom near (but in a stall!). Neither is fit for adoption, and both are considered “hospice”, but they don’t know that. What they do know is that here, they have grain, and unlimited clean hay, fresh water anytime (this is new for them) and no work. If you look at Sherlock’s profile, it’s actually dented and malformed from wearing a halter his entire life. That is just wrong. He is so gentle that he is put up at night without any need for tack or force at all.
What a lovely boy, and overdue for the kindness he is now receiving.

A chilly, glorious morning!
It’s early, but we have been busy already, coordinating deliveries, making some good oatmeal, and talking to some seeking help for horses. It’s a tour Saturday here, and some volunteers will be in to help with barn prep, so meds and turnout are next! It’s extra cool again, summer does take its sweet time arriving in the mountains, the horses love this weather, and it was a joy to see rows upon rows of hay cut in area fields, the first cuts of the season. It’s a glorious time, really. And the perfect place

Aren’t they precious? Thank you Skydog Sanctuary for making this possible. We can’t wait!

There will be news to share, but it's not ready yet. :)
What we CAN share is the continued progress of the lovely thoroughbred mares, Cinder and Seraphina. They have settled in at Rosemary Farm and are doing SO very well! Thoroughbreds are so intelligent and people centric, that if treated with kindness and patience they really respond. We are really enjoying them!

Melody and Mira pose in front of their new sign! While it may seem obvious, we want our guests to know it’s ok to stare and take photos, and that the mares don’t mind the attention. These bff girls were both rescued over a decade ago, and have been bonded for years.
Have you looked at coming along on a tour at Rosemary Farm Sanctuary? Our tours are a hidden gem of the Catskills in NY. There are many options, easy to see on our website, listed in comments!
