We so appreciate our volunteers who were able to come out & lend a hand today & thank you, Rylee for running the show! 💜I’m still down with the flu & as it typically happens this time of year, everything tends to pile up…especially the horse poop!💩We’re always grateful to have help with barn chores, mucking, feeding & exercising the horses…between the holidays, bad weather & illness going around, this time of year is always the most difficult & I know it’s a lot more fun to be out with the horses when the weather is nice! Although, today, I wish I could’ve been out there with the weather being in the 60’s! More arctic air is heading our way by the end of next week & the week after.😣😫🥶Don’t want!😕

Thank you for today’s photos, courtesy of Rylee & Deonna! I was glad to see everyone loving on our newest rescues!🥰💜Julie

As you can see, most of the horses dread doctor’s visits as much as we do!🤣Although, Peanut was completely enamored with Dr Tabor until he realized, that doc had not come to feed him treats…& Applejack, who is the tiniest of all of our residents, as always, made the BIGGEST fuss!🦄🤣🤣
🦄🐴🦄🎁If you’re looking to give a year end tax deductible donation to a non profit organization, we could really use it!🎁🙏🎁🦄🐴🦄🐴

With 4 new rescue horses, (3 are seniors) & so many colder than usual days this month, our expenses have increased…in addition to extra vet, dental, farrier visits & supplements, colder days mean we go through hay & feed faster since we’re feeding extra to ensure the horses stay warm.🥶
🎁Anytime you make a donation, not only are you helping with the needs of our rescue horses, you’re also supporting our no cost therapeutic equine program for our community in need.🎁

Because of your support, our Equine Time Program grew this year & we were also able to provide lessons & camp sponsorships for children in low income families.💝🙏🥰
🐴🦄Donations can be made via donation buttons, PayPal(@gmail.com,)Venmo (,)or via check to Steele Magnolia Sanctuary 3441 Kinneys Rd, Cedar Hill, TN 37032.🎁🙏🎁
Words cannot express our gratitude for your support this year! God has blessed us through you!💝🙏💝

Extra hay & feed, plus blankets for 2 of our residents who need a little help with staying warm on a day that currently feels like only 14 degrees with the wind chill factor…& this cold front will be with us for the next few days.🥶🥶🥶
Water troughs are full, heaters are on & the horses are all spending time in their shelters when they’re not munching on hay.
We’ve been especially happy to witness Nova making her way to the shelter over the last couple of days.🥰🙏For a blind horse who relies on her pasture mates for guidance & is in new surroundings, she is obviously becoming more comfortable & confident with finding her way around!🥰
Now that our morning chores are done, we get to eat our breakfast!😋Horses first!!😁
Stay warm everybody!!💜

A few photos from the last couple of days, along with a huge THANK YOU to all who participated in by generously sharing our posts & donating!💜🙏💜We’re extremely grateful for your support!🥰🙏🙏🙏
New rescues update:
Everybody is adjusting well…Duke (mini horse) while still timid, is coming around & enjoying the attention & treats he gets during mini equine sessions.🐴
🐴🦄🐴It’ll take time to fully earn the trust of Nova, Jasmine & Kid…but they now freely approach me for petting & brushing…it doesn’t take long before I’m completely surrounded by all 3 of them wanting to be brushed.🥰🤣They’ve not been handled consistently for a long time so working with them on catching & haltering will take time & patience…but it’s one of my favorite things to do!!🥰It’s rewarding to see horses begin trust you & choose to be with you when given the freedom to walk away. 🥰

🎁💝🎄 is today!🎄💝🎁
Your tax deductible gift helps provide our rescue horses:
🐴With feed, hay, supplements & medications.
🦄With vet, farrier, dental & chiropractic care.

In addition, your donation also helps support our free of charge Therapeutic Equine Program for children & families in need; this includes helping to secure sponsorships for children whose families are unable to afford horse camps & riding lessons.💜Horses have an amazing healing quality about them & we don’t want any child who longs to be around them to ever be turned away.🥰
💝Since 2019, our mission remains the same..to help horses in need & hurting humans in need.💝Our hope is to humbly show the love of Jesus in all that we do.

🎁🎄If you’re able to make a donation, we’re grateful for any amount given…it all makes a difference!🎁🎄
🙏Our 501(c)3 organization relies solely on volunteers & the kind donations from community.🙏

Thank you to our volunteers who helped us prepare for & welcome our 3 new intakes, Kid, Jasmine & Nova!🙌💜
Brief Backstory:
A disabled veteran with a huge heart, rescued the horses 7 months ago but due to her own health & family’s health issues, she’s unable to continue care for them.
The horses were on a property that had a pond but had no access to running water or electricity; they were continuing to escape through broken barb wire fencing; recently Nova, who is blind, got lost in the woods & couldn’t find her way out.😞
Ultimately, we’d love to secure a forever home for these 3 but it will take someone with the right property & extensive (special needs & senior)horse knowledge. In the meantime, we’re relieved the horses are here, where they’ll receive daily care with access to shelter & a heated water trough!🥰🙏
We’ll post more about them as they go through assessments & vet visits.
🎁💝TOMORROW IS GIVING TUESDAY!!💝🎁 We hope you’ll remember our rescue horses & make a donation if you’re able!🙏🙏🙏
🦄🐴🦄🐴During the month of November, we took in 4 new rescues, this means extra feed, hay, supplements, vet, farrier & dental care!💲💲💲
🎁Donations are tax deductible & can be given via post & website donation buttons, PayPal@([email protected])
Venmo@ ()or via check,(message for address.)🎁
Thank you in advance for being our village & for loving these beautiful creatures so much!!💜It’s because of your generosity & kindness that we can continue rescuing & caring for horses in need.💜🙏💜

Update on our newest rescue resident, Lil’ Duke…he’s adjusting well to his new surroundings & friends.🥰 He’s becoming less timid, more curious & easier to catch.
Saturday Duke was the center of attention with our volunteers & students! He was spoiled rotten with lots of love & attention…as it should be!🥰💜
Thank you so much to all who’ve donated to help towards Duke’s upcoming vet, dental & farrier visits!!🙏🙏🙏We appreciate it more than you know!!💜🙏💜

On our way back to the sanctuary with our newest intake, Duke.
Duke is an owner surrender who’s been extremely lonely after losing his only (mini donkey)companion & has been constantly crying out for him.💔
He spent a good number of years with his family & mini donkey companion after being legally seized from a pony carrousel lot.
We’re happy that Duke has known such love & care since being rescued from being a carousel pony & we’re excited for him to meet his new mini friends & welcome him to his new forever home!🥰💜
🎁We’re creating a fundraiser especially for lil’ Duke for those who are able to donate to help with his upcoming vet, farrier & dental visits.🎁

For those unfamiliar with Prince & Ruby’s backstory…they were legally seized from a hoarder & in such horrific condition, it was obvious they had been starved for a very long time…on top of being emaciated, they were covered in lice & had severe rain rot. Ruby was very sick with diarrhea & Prince had open wounds on both side of his face from a halter that was too tight & never removed.💔
Today Prince & Ruby are living their best life at our sanctuary!🥰They continue to provide the most wonderful therapy to both children & adults through our free of charge therapeutic equine program!
💜 Ruby is one of our seniors whose cute tongue often hangs to one side due to broken & missing teeth but she’s still able to graze & remains the boss mare to herd!🥰🤣
Prince & Ruby require special daily supplements. Ruby especially is prone to skin issues & bouts of diarrhea but through supplements, care & meds when needed, Ruby continues to flourish!🙌🥰

🎁Within the next couple of weeks, all of our rescue residents will have a farrier visit & their annual dental exams/floats. We’re creating a fundraiser to help with the cost…🙏for those who are able to make a donation, we thank you in advance! All donations are tax deductible.🙏
It truly takes a village to continue to help rescue horses & humans in need…thank you for being our village!💜🙏💜

Steele Magnolia Sanctuary

Founded by Bob & Julie Scarborough in 2019, Steele Magnolia Sanctuary, 501 (c)(3) provides a permanent refuge for abused and neglected horses and other animals where they can live out their lives enjoying kindness and compassion.

The sanctuary offers a place of peace, healing and hope for horses and humans. Once our horses are restored back to health, they become the healers to children and adults by participating in a variety of non-mounted Therapeutic Equine Assisted Activities. Studies have indicated that therapeutic equine activities have been successful in helping people show marked improvements in the following areas:


  • Assertiveness

  • Emotional awareness
