Amaryllis Farm began in 1989 in memory of the greatest horse ever, Ben.
The equine rescue became a 501c3 in 2005 in memory of a much beloved partner, Rascal.
The sanctuary home for aged horses began in 2009 in memory of a special soul, Aramis.
Our mission is to save slaughter bound horses and ponies that still have quality of life, rehabilitate them as necessary and give them a second chance at life and being loved.
To help fund this operation we offer horsemanship, horse care and foundational riding lesson programs for all ages. To feel deep respect or admiration for something is to revere it. Our hope is that the children and adults will come to an understanding of the horse, so deep, that they will revere them always. Years from now, perhaps they will help a horse in need.
Horse rescues are necessary because nice horses end up in trouble all the time.
Race, show, therapy, polo, carriage, camp and hack horses are all service horses who lose their jobs due to injury, age or downsizing. Backyard horses can lose their homes due to owner issues. Children's horses are often passed around. Petting farm and pony ride ponies are often discarded at season's end. The slaughter pipeline awaits them all. Especially as they age! The honorable and gentle, the veterans and the winners alike face the same fate. We help them.
Visit the Before and After page for a few examples of the rehabilitation work we do for the horses.
