Cheyenne’s Haven “Home”

"Forever Home"
The miraculous sunset over the rescues of Cheyenne's Haven.

06/09/2024

Cheyenne's Haven is only as strong as the people who commit to the rescues that call this sanctuary Home. This same team believes wholeheartedly that the love and care of the horses are a top priority.

Katie Stewart, Trisha Engel and Shelby Cheyenne Winsted are the foundation here. A foundation built on loyalty, commitment and self sacrifice. They have selflessly given time, supplies, hay, paid bills and given monetarily when things have gotten dark. It's is such a relief to see each of them arrive during a crisis. All three of these horsewomen work full time jobs and have other responsibilities but have never failed to offer hope, a genuine heart, muscle and comfort when needed.

They come when a call for help is sent out, they stay up late and make multiple trips to the barn during a crisis. They research needs and provide support. When all of our efforts fail, these girls assist during the private and spiritual moment of a horse crossing over.

Thank you is not enough. You keep my head above water and remind me that I am truly blessed with the relationships we have and the horses we are honored to care for.

We are family...we are Cheyenne's Haven.

You change the world far beyond the words you speak, it lies in the example you set.

Please join with us in caring for our magnificent rescues. Volunteers are crucial and needed at our second barn in Bainbridge, Indiana and the main site at Cloverdale, Indiana.

We thank you dear LORD for the course you have laid before us. We pray that we may continue this labor of love. A good work that rises above the inhumane and heals the victims.
Become part of a unique rescue team that dedicates their lives to restoring horses who silently suffered and ultimately faced certain death. Team members who are willing to commit time, supplies or finances. The work at the rescue is ongoing through holidays, extreme weather or even sickness. It will change you. In a world that needs to understand what commitment and serving truly mean, we offer this challenge.
The rewards are great...caring for our remarkable horses and meeting some of the most genuine, hardworking people ever.

If physical work is not an option, we have many other ways of service. Contributing financially is our greatest need. The rescue needs approximately $2,500.00 monthly to provide for our horses.

You know you are blessed when you have views like this💞🙏🏻💞

Spending the eclipse with the horses proved to be a phenomenally peaceful few moments. Although we did look skyward some, the view in front of us was breathtaking. The light fading into shadows turning into darkness framed with a sunset glow and back to light, all encompassing our regal rescues.

Wow, thank you LORD for this blessed life♥️🙏🏻♥️

We are Cheyenne's Haven...a horse rescue that offers healing and sanctuary for some of the worst cases of abuse, neglect and horses who have no where else to go but to slaughter.
We do not have millions of followers or paid staff. Our work and needs reach very few on social media. We don't have professional videographers to follow us on a daily basis. We have to fundraise between the care of the horses. We are ordinary people giving what we can, our time after working full time jobs, our money to pay bills when the rescue account is empty, and the rescue's water, electric, trash removal are paid by us personally with barn/shelters/pastures costing the rescue nothing. To operate the rescue takes more than a 40 hour week. It's before dawn and after dark, multiple trips to check horses throughout the day and sometimes night, seven days a week no matter if it is a holiday or terrible weather. It is planning and arranging deliveries of hay, feed and supplies, vet and farrier services.
🙏🏻We need help, big help🙏🏻

The horses have been supported by a handful of giving hearts but we still run dangerously low on funds. We can never thank those who have reached out over the past few months, for those who give everytime they are able.
Below is the face of a horse who was starved, neglected and ready to load on the semi trailer for the Mexican slaughterhouse. Two of our rescue family had compassion on his fragile state and carefully trailered him Home to Cheyenne's Haven. Here, he received his name. Darby flourished under the love and care he so desperately needed and deserved!
We need serious donations to continue our work. We whole heartedly want to give the horses of Cheyenne's Haven sanctuary for the rest of their beautiful lives.

♥️If only we could love as HE loved us♥️

03/01/2024

And then we have support from amazing humans like this♥️

When the good LORD lays a purpose on your heart, it absolutely does not mean that it will be easy. There will be those who smirk, judge and secretly hope that you fail. Those who promise to always be there will leave. Those who promise donations will "forget". When they remember, they will tell you, "Sorry! We spent that but we can send you a little something."
The horses have no idea how close to zero the bank account is. They have no clue that the few volunteer staff left to care for them, schedule their entire lives around their needs. Jobs, sickness, holidays, weather...it makes no difference.

We strive to give them peace, love and happiness every single day. Full bellies and happy herds. We lift over 3 ton of feed and hay a month between 3 people.

And yes! We are seeking volunteers!

Make 2024 a year of serving the LORD and making this world a better place for those who have suffered enough.

If you are not physically able to be a part of these majestic horses daily routine, please help us monetarily so we may continue this special work.

In Christ alone, there is deliverance.
This rescue is...a sanctuary, a place to heal, to breathe and enjoy life in peace. For both horses and humans.
A week ago, I had a visitor from the past. I remember him as a 12 year old boy, but now he is a 37 year old man. The moment I laid eyes on him, I just knew. He is the face of addiction and desperately grasping for deliverance, forgiveness and strength. He humbly asked if we would allow him to complete his community service with the horses. It was an immediate "YES!"
This I know, he is loved by his family. His father is one of the good ones, he is an amazing example and spent tons of quality time in the barn with his son. Unfortunately, addiction can invade any family at any time.

Within 2 days, there was a fast connection between him and our newest blind rescue, Abby. Her other senses have become very keen, and she took an immediate liking to him.

The LORD has a plan for everyone, even those who are in the midst of turmoil. It is our job to LOVE, not judge. Just love.
We will take this one day at a time, together praying that the LORD guides us to the next step.

To continue this rescue, we need ongoing financial help. That can be sent in the form of a check or using our PayPal.

♥️🤍💙Style is a stunning Mustang, a living American legend🇺🇸

Rounded up from the wild, she was selected for the Extreme Mustang Makeover competition. Never being touched before, she would have 100 days if intense training to prepare her for the event. After arriving at her trainer's facility, things just seemed "off". She had severe edema in her back legs among other things. The trainer was given the option of sending her back to the holding facility and trading her in for another horse. That meant certain death for a Mustang with her problems. She would be among those whose fate was the kill pens and then on to slaughter. The choice was easy for this specific horsewoman, even though that meant being out of the competition.
Style looks to be a Belgian/Halflinger/Quarter Horse cross. She has a severe autoimmune disorder, possible heart defect as well as extreme heat cycles. This sweet mare struggles from late spring until the first frost of every year. We work diligently to help ease her discomfort due to any and all bug bites. Her body itches, swells, bleeds and she suffers hair loss and scabbing. She takes a seasonal daily medication to help control her hormones as well. She wears an armour of fly sheets, covering her from head to tail and spending most of the day inside her stall. She is soothed with salves, fly sprays and any ointments needed. At the worse stages, she receives shots to make her life bearable. Still, with all of our efforts, she struggles.
Her relief comes in late fall through early spring. She can enjoy life just like the rest of her herd mates. Her sweet nature and Mustang dynamics make her very unique. She teaches us about the real horse. The way horses were born to be. Her protective nature and survival instinct are impressive. The girl does love domesticated life too! Stalls, summer sheets, winter blankets,cool baths, pedicures and treats!😂
She blesses us with her "Style".
Always slightly out of reach but giving herself once haltered. We believe it's her way of reminding us that she is truly from the wild.

It takes a bit more to care for one that has so many special needs. We are willing and able with the help of caring hearts that give to our purpose.

🇺🇸She is an American icon, a symbol of freedom and grace. We are proud to care for such an extraordinary horse♥️🤍💙

Our beautiful Abby resting with her handsome companion Torrance.
She is a young mare, just 4 years old. Her eyes are failing, taking her deeper into darkness with each passing day.
Torrance served the Amish as a work horse. He is blind as well. His body is tired and broken down, requiring more than the normal time for laying. Abby shares this time with her friend and relaxes beside him. She helps him feel safe as they enjoy quiet time together.
Cheyenne's Haven works diligently to provide a forever peaceful home for horses that have endured the most unfair hardships. Hardships dealt by physical health or at the hands of those who should have protected and cared for them. No animal should live in fear, neglect or worked to the point of abuse.

Our goal is to make sure the horses that call our rescue home feel loved and safe. The volunteer staff are few but exceptional in their commitment and care for our magnificent herd.

We need volunteers and donations...plain and simple.
Please become part of our team. We need physical help but mostly help in making sure we have the funds to feed this large group for another month.

🙏🏻Holding on to Faith🙏🏻

The morning starts out with a beautiful and bright freshness. All is well.
It doesn't take long for the world to feel like it is moving against us. So many disappointments, so much work ahead makes the day quickly turn heavy. Knowing we are working with a skeleton crew makes the chores ahead seem almost too much to conquer.
But then GOD intercedes, one step turns into many and the load lightens. HE touches someone's heart and we receive a much needed donation. Those moments let us know we are not forgotten.

Our bank account becomes worrisome, yet HE reminds us that HE is in control.

We humbly thank you dear LORD. We ask for forgiveness for the moments we fall weak in our faith.

Please remember the horses of Cheyenne's Haven in this season of giving.

Happy National Day Of The Horse!
💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚
Today we celebrate Torrance, our handsome Amish work horse. His retirement? Slaughter...and in direct ship. He would be reloaded immediately to head Mexico. The team at Cheyenne's Haven decided that absolutely was not happening. so long trip to a southern kill pen was executed. He was among many others that too had been thrown away. He was scared and hurting. To move the horses around, the workers used long handled paddles. It didn't matter if horses were blind or injured. It did not matter if they were scared and confused. The horses did not matter, they were not viewed as living and feeling.
Torrance is mostly blind, seeing only shadows. He also suffers from DSLD, a breakdown of the suspension in his legs. Years of hard work have taken a debilitating toll on his body.

It took Torrance almost a full year of decompression to understand that we only wanted to love and care for him. He "looks" for us now with eagerness instead of dread. He is the kindest soul, allowing his favorite person (Sheila)to put his halter on even though she struggles on her tiptoes to get it over his ears. Sheila and Torrance have formed a loving bond. He showed his first signs of affection when she returned from a week long business trip. He greeted her with loving head rubs, letting her know that he missed her♥️ He had never shown any sort of affection before.
He deserves nothing less than rest, care, love and respect. That is exactly what he gets on a daily basis at Cheyenne's Haven. Torrance is "Home".

We need team members even if you are not able to do the physical work. There's so many other jobs open to help this rescue survive. Even something as easy as writing a check or sending a PayPal donation. These are must haves as well. We spend approximately $2500 monthly to take care of the rescued horses.

💞Our pad winner💞 Also a huge and humble thank you to Janine Renfro-Inmon of Rocking I Show Pads. This is a beautiful gesture by an amazing horsewoman to help the horses at Cheyenne's Haven!

11/27/2023

At only 4 years old she has already lost most of her sight. She is a well trained hunt seat mount not to mention very well bred. Blindness doesn't discriminate. Something possibly treatable tuned into the worst scenario, she lost her sight. She compensated for slowly losing her vision by simply knowing the daily routine. Her puffy, crusty and runny eyes make it obvious that there is a problem.

She is welcome to come Home to Cheyenne's Haven for the rest of her life. We will provide her a loving and safe place.

BUT......

WE NEED HELP! In order to provide a place for her to thrive, we need to build another area with fencing and shelter specifically for horses with vision impairments.

This is a large undertaking. Please team up with us in making her world a happy place to live out the rest of her years. (There is a boyfriend waiting on her here as well)😉

To my dedicated people, whether you give time, physical work or by monetary means, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We simply can't feed and care for the horses without each of your gifts.

Winter is coming...we could sure use more people to share whatever they are able to.

🧡THE HORSES OF CHEYENNE'S HAVEN🧡

Beauty radiates from the neglected, abandoned and abused. It is unfathomable to us how any human can disregard another living being. Some live a daily nightmare at the hands of their abusers and eventually succumb after a long life of torture. Others are abandoned or sold for a small price at auctions, eventually ending up at poorly regulated slaughterhouses. The horrors are unimaginable.

These horses are forever safe, forever "Home".
They bless us daily, and we are grateful to be their people.

💞Haven and Cesear💞

In a world that is addicted to social media, gaming and videos, we are neglecting the opportunity to teach our children about what truly matters. We miss reaching their hearts by teaching them to seek GOD. We have yet to see the outcome of a generation of screen raised children. Take them by the hand and serve a rescue. Whether it be of people or animals in need. It can be done in the form of raising money or hands on. Find what moves your soul to tears and help make it bearable for the victims. It is something you will never regret. Show your children that outside of their electronics is a world of those just trying to survive. The elderly just trying to bear loneliness. There is so much suffering, find your work and set the example for your children.

Train Up A Child In The Way He Should Go And When He Is Old He Will Not Depart From It.
Proverbs 22:6
