Our precious arapaho never tires of playing
If a horse has ever touched your soul and left hoof prints on your heart, join our efforts to ever improve the quality of care of all horses.
If you have never hugged a horse, you have not yet truly lived.
We are on a mission to create a dream sanctuary for the horses and instill the desire to help more horses in the people who visit us.
Looking to volunteer? Really want to help a horse who needs a friend?
Each horse needs financial support first and foremost. The lack of it landed them in dire straights at least once in their lives! Volunteer to raise funds for a horse or pony in need. No application is needed!
No MONEY=no hay, no grain, no veterinary care, no farrier care, no supplements, no de-wormer, no rain sheets, no medium blankets, no heavy blankets, no shelters, no halters, no leads, no water troughs, no hoses, no fencing, no gates, no maintenance equipment, no trailers, no land, no electric, no water = no HORSE!
It is a hard truth! Horses are expensive. Especially rescue horses! There are many ways to raise the funds they need to thrive! Bake sales, yard sales, car washes, Ebay, host parties. Place a PENNIES FOR PONIES jar at school or work or the gym. There are numerous, simple ways to really make a difference in the life of a rescued horse if one truly seeks to act.
Volunteer opportunities are not to be confused with our many educational programs.
Learn. Contribute. Labor. It is how each of us progressed to where we are and it is why we are successful in helping horses who need us.

King Theoden rehabilitated at a quarantine farm and has since moved to our main farm where he continues to improve his health.
Horses should live well into their 30s. Their golden years are often overlooked by current owners. Handing a horse off to a college program, a lesson or therapy program or that kid down the street who loves horses will almost certainly be the first step on a journey along the slaughter pipeline.
