🐎🌹We had a wonderful visit with Smith College students working on research projects through the Smith College Sport for Social Change Lab. One student is exploring how people perceive horse sports, an area that’s closely aligned with our mission at Legacy Equine Center and Sanctuary. We loved sharing our program with these enthusiastic students and giving them some hands-on time with our horses. Kudos to Smith College for supporting student-led research that connects sport, community, and meaningful change. This is Sanctuary Life! 🐴🩷

The thermometer might be trying to prank us, but we’re calling it: SPRING is almost here. Time for the great blanket swap, blankets get cleaned and the freshly cleaned blankets get tucked away waiting for fall, fly masks come out, and the herd gets ready for sunny days ahead. This is Sanctuary Life!

Tell us: Are you Team Blankets or Team Fly Masks?
