Do you love Arabian horses?

Gwen is as cute as they come! Her dainty little dished face and silly little prance are spectacular ❤️ She's an approximately 14 year old, 14.3hh purebred Arabian who is an inquisitive clean slate. She has overcome years of neglect and is ready for her forever person who will start or restart her. We are unsure if she was ever broke to saddle.
For more information about Gwen please message us or text 252-232-8228.

To know Marshall is to love Marshall ❤️
Despite his neglectful past, he is the sweetest guy! He's an approximately 10 year old German Shepherd Dog seeking a wonderful retirement home. He'd love to sit on the porch with you all day, keep you company while you work from home, or follow you while you tinker in the yard.

While Marshall waits for his perfect home, SHARE could use some help with his daily expenses.

Dumped on the side of the road like trash. COVERED in so many fleas and ticks that their bath water turned red.
Starving with their little spines protruding. Bloated bellies full of intestinal parasites.
Trembling in fear and confusion.
As soon as they entered a nearby shelter, they were networked to local rescues and we began working to get them out. ❤️🐶

It pains us to know that this was their start in life at only 6 or 7 weeks old. But they are now bathed, fed, dewormed, and flea and tick free! They are nestled in blankets safely in a foster home while they learn what real puppy hood should be like. They'll be playing and loving people in no time!

Please follow the link below to help us help these hound mix pups, Benson and Boone! 🙏

They are not ready for adoption yet but will be soon! We will accept adoption applications for them!

Meet Easy ❤️
He's just a good old guy that deserves the softest of landings.
He is a 15hh bay purebred Arabian gelding in his late 20's.

Easy has survived YEARS of starvation and neglect. Since coming to us he has had extensive dental work, been vaccinated and has eaten about $600 a month in groceries to gain adequate weight back. That doesn't include other vet work and hoof care!

Now that he's fatter, happier, and feeling good, it's time for him to find the Arabian enthusiast who wants to spoil him rotten for the rest of his life!
If interested in adopting Easy, let's chat! Message us here or call/text 252-232-8228.

We're still accepting donations to offset his costs to the rescue. Consider sponsoring him until he's adopted?

However, we have openings for Horsemanship Instructors and Stable-hands!

Instructors: Choose one day or all the days to teach children (and adults) all things horses! This position could be once a week or 5 days a week. Truly flexible as we have home-school interest, after-school interest, and weekend interest.

Should be comfortable teaching beginner through intermediate level balanced & centered riding.
Applicants for instructors must be 18 years old or older, have their own transportation, and be able to pass a background check.
Pay is commensurate with experience. Send us your resume or just a message outlining your experience.

Stable-hands: Responsible for an entire farm feed shift. Must be proficient and comfortable handling horses, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. And able to lift 50lbs. We currently have openings for Saturday and Sunday PM and 2-3 Sunday mornings each month.

Reintroducing Pedro!
He's a 13hh bay grade pony gelding around 20 years old.
We've known this little guy around 6 years now. He's been in our lesson program, on trail rides, beach rides, or just hanging out on the farm. He's been adopted twice and returned. He isn't for everyone because he's too smart for his own good. He definitely wants a partnership from his human. He does not like being told what to do but he also needs fairly strict rules and structure. It's a give and take to understand him, a true bond. That being said, Pedro isn't for a beginner or a child. He thrives with petite teenagers/ adults that have experience and are confident. Or he'd make a great pasture puff! He is an easy keeper and gets along great in a herd. He'll go for hands walks, he'll stand to be brushed, and he's good for the hoof trimmer. His adoption donation is $500 and as always our adoption contracts stipulate no resale or rehome. Our adoptees are always welcome back.

If you have any questions about Pedro or his other friends up for adoption please text 252-232-8228.

If you can't adopt, please consider a donation from our wish list
https://a.co/bK4LGgv
or a sponsorship to help with Pedro's costs.
If you can't donate, please share to spread the word 🙏

Meet sweet Annabelle!

She's a small pony measuring in right around 10hh and our vets guess she's in her mid 20's. She came to us last year to try out our Teeny Tiny Pony Club but her body chose retirement instead. Having a history of laminitis, her hooves could no longer handle the stress of carrying even the tiniest of riders. She gets monthly hoof trims and supplements to keep her comfortable with her friends in her paddock. She's also dry lotted so the grass doesn't cause more laminitis.
She really enjoys being brushed in her paddock and getting low sugar snacks from volunteers and kiddos. Although, she can be a little pushy when being led. Sometimes she likes to do the leading 😂❤️
Annabelle would make a great low cost companion for a horse on a dry lot or small turnout (muzzled). And bonus if you have kiddos that can brush and braid her until her hearts content. ❤️

Consider adopting her or sponsoring her monthly care!

Adoption donation of 250.

Please message us for more info!

Let's talk about Jasmine!
Pictures don't really do her justice. She's a beautiful grade cremello pintaloosa - that's a mouthful, isn't it?
Grade means her breed is mixed or unknown. She is not registered with any specific breed association.
Cremello is a beige, cream color characterized with blue eyes, but sometimes with amber eyes. Jasmine's are blue.
Pintaloosa means she has both patches (pinto) and spots (appaloosa) markings.
She stands at a petite 14hh and is 6 years old, so she's about done growing.
She found her way to us almost exactly one year ago during one of the largest neglect cases that our area has ever handled. She was one of the lucky ones. She wasn't tragically malnourished like some of the others. But she was a mess mentally. So confused, so anxious.
She has come a long way with relaxation in a year. She has so much "try". But her personality is a bit spunky, and being calm is something that she will have to be reminded from time to time.
She is available for adoption to her forever home as unbroke as we feel she needs to be restarted from the ground up.
If you're an experienced petite horse person looking for a really cool pony, she may be the one for you! Her adoption fee is $1500 with a no resale/ rehome contract. Contact us with any questions about her!

If you're not looking for a project pony, consider a donation from our Summer Wish List for her and her friends!
