Jolie
Jolie is a rescue from the kill pen. She came to me in 2013. We rescued her with the help of neighbors because I was still on Long Island and did not have room for another horse. She has turned out to be such an amazing partner and my favorite horse to ride. We will be together forever. PS that is me, Mary, on her back in 2021. So who rescued who???
Hope
Jackson
Jolie
This branded BLM mustang out of Nevada was rescued from the kill pen August 2021. She was lame with a deep abscess and could not put weight on her back foot. There was no hope for her and the vet said she would loose the hoof. We still have a long way to go but she is load bearing now. The abscess blew out both heel bulbs and now her frog and sole are coming off. There is a healthy underdeveloped sole underneath that we need to protect. I soak it and wrap it daily to keep it cushioned and clean. She is so sweet and kind and gentle and loves to be brushed. We have hope for Hope

Jackson is a chocolate palomino pony rescued from the kill pen in 2014 at 4 years old. He has a notch in his right ear that means he was culled from the breeders herd and sold to the auction house. They thought he wasn't perfect. He is the most amazing little boy and we think he is perfect.

We are working with her but feel that she is not fit for domestication. We will continue to work with her as she allows. What a site to see this girl glide accross the hay field. Her feet barely touch the ground.

Flora is a local rescue. She was abandoned and we took her in the fall of 2019. Her feet were terribly infected and curled up and around. She is blind in her left eye from Trauma incduced cataracts. She is approximately 10 years old. She has won the heart of so many people that visit the sanctuary. This girl just wants to be loved. She is usually found nestled between Cedar and Sabrina. Cedar protects her and makes sure she clears the gate when they come in. It is so sweet how they take care of each other.
