The secret is out!!
Olympic Peninsula Equine Network-OPEN has been working with Fox-Bell Farm & Training, helping to create a new nonprofit animal shelter under our nonprofit umbrella for Clallam County! This was in response to an emergency situation caused by the primary shelter unexpectedly shutting their doors! Shelby and Martha have been big supporters of OPEN and have worked with Diane Royall and Valerie Jackson for many years, so offering to help them with this project was an easy decision for all of us!!

Peter's adoption is pending!
We do have several other horses at the shelter, but they are still undergoing various rehab and not yet ready for a family. If you are looking for something specific, let us know, we generally have a waiting list and the perfect family is ready before they ever make it to Petfinder!
Peter here for example, has been spoken for twice but the people changed their mind due to no fault if his. Their situations changed and they let us know right away, so we have him posted and expect him to be adopted right away!
Peter is an adoptable Horse - Donkey searching for a forever family near Sequim, WA. Use Petfinder to find adoptable pets in your area.

More fun from the Barn Social at Christel Haven
More from Kari Payne's 4L Arena yesterday! These were all different events, as Kari Said, "I invented these because you can pattern a horse to death! This shows how well the team works together when it's totally new for them both"!
Our raffle drawing today
Remember, rescue doesn't mean damaged or used up, it just means someone let them down.
This little mare came through a large rescue/seizure OPEN was involved with several years ago .. and she is now taking Sydney to State competitions!!
OPEN is proud to have helped them both along their jouney..... ❤️
This little princess Lacey was born today! (She is NOT a rescue and not at OPEN) but her new blankie came from our Western Treasures tack store and is keeping her warm tonight ❤ thanks for sharing her with us!
Joe Marceau worked a miracle today on miss Sassy! It took him 3 hours and he literally removed a bucket full of hoof material from her over grown hooves! She needs to learn to walk again and it will still take some time to adjust to her new feet.

It will still take some time for her to adjust and learn to walk comfortably again, but she is on her way!! thanks Joe!!
Sometimes we need a reminder of the good we do ♡♡
update! This is Dancer, OPEN liberated her last year from neglect after her owners were killed in domestic violence murder/suicide situation....we reunited Dancer with her former owner, together we brought this 32 year old mare back to the picture of health, she is even giving lessons now!! ♡♡
We have a few (hundred) bales of hay to pick up tomorrow...anyone interested in a work out? We would LOVE some help... pretty please :)
This is Kismet she is a beautiful 19ish year old Thoroughbred mare who has been enjoying our summer pasture as she finishes her rehab. she is broke but will be entering our training program for a tune up! ♡
OPEN is a 501 c(3) equine rescue organization funded through donations, fundraising and adoption fees. We started rescuing horses in 2006 on our own properties as our household budgets would allow. There was an almost continual need for our help and then in 2012 we were asked by the county to help them with a large seizure of 17 emaciated horses, we networked with several people we knew to find emergency foster homes for all 17! That event is what spurred us on into getting our nonprofit status so we could give donation receipts to those who helped us! We received our nonprofit status in 2013.
We quickly realized that non profit status didn’t mean we would magically be given a facility, and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy one! So we decided to build one on a small 3.6 acre piece of property we had been using for overflow animals when our personal properties were full... at least until we could afford to buy one.... somehow.
Each year since then we have seen the need for our help grow. We have helped hundreds of horses and almost as many people to care for their animals when times were tough. We have fund raised for specific projects each year... In 2014 we put up new perimeter fencing on two sides of the property. In 2015 we built our first covered paddocks and work areas, in 2016 we fund raised for and built our hay barn and then in 2017 we built our new office/ used tack store! We are also working with our county to be an emergency large animal shelter in case of natural disasters.
We are always in need of help and volunteers and would love to hear from you!
