Tomorrow’s the big day! The weather’s set to be perfect for the opening of our trails and open house. Come meet our rescue horses and volunteers, enjoy some great food, and spend the day with us. 🫶🏼❤️

Don't forget to mark your calendars for November 2nd for our open house! There will be food, drinks, and, if the weather is chilly, a cozy bonfire to keep us warm.

Got a horse? Feel free to roam our beautiful trails! While it’s not an organized ride, we’d love to set up a fun scavenger hunt if anyone’s interested.

We can’t wait to see everyone there and share a fantastic day together!

🐎From a Feed Lot Heading to Slaughter to a Beautiful Life and a New Beginning 🐴

We love seeing updates from our adopters! Here is our Zoey girl living her best life and running with her new brother Bossman. We couldn't be any happier about her happy ending and new beginning. She is thriving and enjoying life getting to just be a horse. Thank you Crystal for making her a part of your family and for giving her the life every horse deserves.
