Introducing Gingersnap, a mare that truly embodies a heart of gold💛 Her name is a perfect reflection of her inviting spirit, which exudes a soothing energy that spreads calmness and joy wherever she goes.
Her riding history is unknown, but her flawless ground manners and fondness for grooming sessions are undeniable. With her soft gaze and patient nature, she stands out as an ideal choice for therapeutic interactions or simply as a loyal friend by your side.
Gingersnap spends her days alongside a 22-year-old gelding, and their extraordinary connection is a testament to the profound bonds that horses can form.
We invite you to meet Gingersnap and experience her sweet disposition for yourself at Help a Horse Day on June 8th! She might just be the perfect addition you’ve been looking for, ready to capture your heart as she has ours💛

Red Jewel is a 28 year old mare who amazes us every single day with her zest for life-a true testament to the adage that age really is just a number! Once forced to work and valued only for what she can “do” for us, she has blossomed into a gentle soul who eagerly seeks connection & companionship✨ She is a shining star in our Soft Landings program-a program that helps senior & unsound horses live physically & mentally enriching lives through positive reinforcement🌟 Red Jewel is available for adoption OR sponsorship. Visit her webpage or message us today to learn more about how you can help Red Jewel continue to live the happy, healthy life she deserves. #rescuejourney #rescuehorse #morgancross #hudsonvalleyny #adoptdontshop
La Cactis Boy
🌵La Cactis Boy 🌵 (Part 2)
In the summer of 2022, a young horse named La Cactis Boy came to us. He was only 5 years old and somehow ended up at an auction, which is no place for a horse like him.
Cactis is an Appendix- a cross between a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred. He has a great personality… level headed but energetic… inquisitive, intelligent, and a little goofy. Once he gets to know you, he’ll be your friend for life. If you want to win him over, forehead rubs are the key to his heart❤️
Cactis is green under saddle, so he is looking for a kind and patient person who can help him remember his training. He stands well for the farrier, LOVES being groomed & pampered, and gets along well with everyone in the herd.
Cactis has way too much potential to not have a human of his own. Why not come by and meet him? You might be the perfect match for each other💕

There’s an image going around social media that says if 6% more people chose to adopt instead of purchase, we would end the killing of cats and dogs in our nation’s shelters. We don’t know the exact figure for horses, but when we only see a horse for what they can “do” and cast them aside when that job can’t be done, only to purchase a new one, we end up with rescues across the country that are overrun with horses in need. When we rescue a horse like Delta Dawn who has clearly lived a life in close contact with humans, it is our way of telling her “you matter.” Help us care for our rescues by donating to our $10 Tuesdays campaign. For $10 you can tell Delta Dawn that she matters. She doesn’t have a voice, so let us be her voice. #equinerescue #horselove #horsesofinstagram #adoptdontshop

Born on the evening of the solar eclipse, Tyler Eclipse has been charming us all since the day he was born🌝 He is a little ray of sunshine, and his innocent spirit radiates around the rescue☀️ CeeCee, his devoted mother, is always a few steps away keeping a watchful eye to make sure her baby is safe. We may not know what her past was like, but we know for certain we can promise her a brighter future🌟 And with Tyler Eclipse around, it’s hard not to feel the love. These resilient beings teach us that even in the darkest of moments, there’s always a glimmer of light✨ Let their bond inspire us all to cherish life’s little miracles🌞🌚⭐️ #newbirth #newbeginnings #equinerescue #minihorselove #minifoal #eclipse

Primo
Meet Primo, our 7-year-old OTTB with a heart of gold and a playful spirit🐴💕 After a winter of training, he’s learned to confidently walk, trot, and canter under saddle. Primo loves his grooming time and shines in groundwork, showing promise as a future liberty horse.
Ideal for a novice rider under a trainer’s guidance, Primo is forgiving and sensible, thriving on consistent practice to build his confidence. Due to an injury sustained during racing, his days as a racehorse or jumper may be over, but he has potential in dressage, pleasure, liberty, etc.
To learn more about adopting Primo, visit his webpage and message us today 🌟🏡

Prince
Meet Prince, our sweet and majestic Quarter Horse. Born in 2003 Prince has a storied past as a lesson horse, but now he seeks a life where he can enjoy light rides and the companionship of a caring adopter.
Though he has hung up his saddle from the lesson horse life, Prince hasn’t lost his love for being ridden. He appreciates the occasional ride that allows him to stretch his legs and bond with his rider. With some groundwork to refresh his skills, Prince is ready to please and eager to learn, making him an ideal match for someone who values the connection and growth that come from working together.
If you feel that you can offer Prince the loving home he deserves, please contact us. We would love to tell you more about how Prince could become a part of your family.

Just like people, older and unsound horses can benefit from mental enrichment and gentle physical exercises that strengthen their core and improve their balance and coordination. Under the guidance of our trainer, Taylor Culbert, volunteers in our new Soft Landings program use clicker training, a positive reinforcement-based method, to partner with our horses and engage in activities and movements that will help the horses feel as comfortable as they can in the bodies they have. The horses and humans are still establishing basic vocabulary together, but we are looking forward to sharing their progress!
Stay tuned to learn about the individual horses, the volunteers guiding them, and how you can help.
We hope you will join us in celebrating horses at all stages of their life!
