✨ The Power of $10 ✨

Sometimes we think change requires something huge, but often it’s the smallest ripples that create the biggest waves.

At our horse rescue, every $10 matters. Truly.
• $10 can buy a square bale of hay, filling a hungry belly.
• $10 can go toward a vet check, keeping a horse safe and healthy.
• $10 can help repair a fence, ensuring a rescued horse feels secure in their new home.

Now imagine this:
If 100 people gave just $10 a month, that’s $1,000 steady dollars flowing into care, food, medicine, and love for horses who had nowhere else to turn.

If 500 people gave $10, that’s $5,000 each month—transforming not just the care of a few horses, but building a sanctuary that can welcome many more.

We have approximately 3k followers. Imagine if 3000 people donated ‘just $10’ a month.

💫It would be life changing 💫

It’s never about how much one person can do. It’s about what we can do together. As a collective. Your $10 might feel small on its own, but combined with others, it becomes powerful beyond measure.

Rescue work isn’t just about saving lives—it’s about restoring hope. For the horses. For the humans who come to heal beside them. And for the reminder that kindness, no matter how small, always multiplies.

❤️ $10 a month = a lifetime of difference. ❤️

✨Ember - our fiery blind filly with the Spirit of a fairy✨

We cannot express how much this little sweet heart means to us. Born early June 2025, Ember was found to have Microphthalmia - a condition where her eyes did not fully develop in-utero. Uncertain how to support her, and after being told it would be best to euthanize, Ember's owner reached out to us for support. Blindness is not new to us, and so we happily offered to step in and help.

A month later, Ember and her mom 'Barbie' made their way to our sanctuary. Despite her blindness, Ember is a very sassy, curious and confident little lady. She loves her bum and back scratches and has no problem letting you know when she needs you to step up your scratch game. She maneuvers around her pen beautifully and is already learning liberty techniques.

This little filly has an incredible future ahead of her and we feel so honoured to be a part of it.

Due to her condition, Ember is not available for adoption but is looking for long-term sponsorship to help support her care and expenses.

✨He's the handsomest dude on the property - Say hi to Oliver✨

Born on March 31, 2024 Oliver hit the ground running and hasn't stopped since! Though we didn't originally know he was coming, he has quickly become one of the most beautiful gifts to our unique herd of horses.

Oliver is kind, curious, sassy, happy and the most affectionate little man we've ever known. He has a habit of sneaking through fences and visiting all of his friends around the sanctuary. But don't worry - he's more than happy to be haltered and caught when you catch him where he isn't suppose to be.

He also loves putting anything and everything in his mouth and testing out every single boundary possible just to know exactly where his limits are. He has a beautiful liberty foundation and thoroughly enjoys play time in the pasture or the round pen. We truly could not imagine our lives without his incredible heart and are so grateful he and his mama Spice came in to our lives.

Oliver is not looking for sponsorship or an adoptive home because he's already found one!

We are happy to officially announce that Oliver has been adopted into our own family and will be spending the remainder of his days being loved by my wife Brittany and I! We have never adopted a horse before, but when Red passed and Sam chose Oliver to be his new friend after spending the last 8 month grieving, we just couldn't fathom letting him go to anyone else!

Welcome to the Hamchach Family Ollie!

💫 Kat Update 💫

She is very excited to let you all know that she is officially cleared of her eye ulcers!

No more meds! No more fly mask!

I cannot express how proud I am of this lovely girl and all she was able to overcome these last few weeks with multiple doctoring sessions and desensitizing to certain things. She’s such a sweetheart!

✨This beautiful mare was our first intake as an organization - Meet Kat✨

Kat came to us as an SPCA seizure case in 2021. She was seized as an emaciated pregnant mare along with 4 other pregnant mares, a gelding and a stallion. Kat was seized from a very unethical breeding operation down near Brooks, AB who believed it was unnecessary to not only handle their horses, but feed them appropriately. As a result of their neglect, they were hit with a fine and a ban on owning a certain number of horses.

When she came to us, Kat was severely emaciated, feral, had a 3 week old filly at her side and, unbeknownst to us at the time, also pregnant. We have since rehomed her two beautiful fillies, but Kat has remained a permanent member of our herd due to her health conditions. She struggles with respiratory issues and requires supplements, meds and a diet of only soaked cubes and grass.

She also requires consistent handling and training, as she has a habit of reverting back to her high-strung ways when she sits unattended for too long. Despite her high-maintenance needs, she is truly one of the kindest and most grateful souls and we absolutely adore her.

Due to her condition, we consider her a permanent sanctuary member and so she is not available for adoption. She is, however, looking for sponsorship from anyone interested in supporting her unique needs.

✨He's our favourite little terror - Say hi to Freddy✨

There's just too much to say about Fred. He came to us at the end of October at only 40 hours old. We had never taken on a goat before, however we could not fathom saying no and so we took him in with open hearts. Freddy lived in our home from November 2024-March 2025. He was bottle fed by us multiple times a day and monitored closely by the amazing team at during his routine checkups.

We went through multiple diapers and quite a few sleepless nights, but we got him through his house stay and were able to finally integrate him outside like a 'normal' goat. To say he has a large personality is an understatement!

Fred definitely lives with 'only child syndrome' and is NOT a fan when his brother Vinny gets any kind of attention or food from other people. And, though he thoroughly enjoys living outside now, he does occasionally try to sneak back into the house to wreck havoc in the living room.

Fun fact - because Fred lived with dogs until he was 4 months old, he doesn't really know how to bleet. And so instead, he does his version of 'barking' which kind of sounds like odd grumbles and gurgles!

He will live out the remainder of his days at our sanctuary with his new brother Vinny.

✨Say hello to Jax✨

Jax is a 7 year old gelding who came in as a surrender case in the Fall of 2024. He was purchased at an auction as a yearling for pennies due to the deformity in his knees, as he currently lives with a developmental orthopedic disease called physis. Physis is characterized by inflammation and enlargement of the growth plates (physes), which are located in the metaphysis of long bones like the radius, tibia, and cannon bones.

There are quite a few factors that could have contributed to Jax's unfortunate development such as malnutrition, insufficient minerals or quite possibly just poor body confirmation. It's hard to know what caused it or if there was anything that could have been done to prevent or slow the progress of it. All we know is that he was loved as best as possible by his current owner who asked us to take him on when circumstances changed on their end.

Due to the state he came to us in, there was nothing we could do other than make him as comfortable and happy as possible. He has been living out this past year at his foster home where he has received an incredible amount of love and attention. And though he wintered well, he has been struggling with his comfort level these past few months. As a result, we have had to make the difficult decision to let Jax go before the coming winter.

He is currently being managed with pain medication and receiving all of the love and treats he possibly can until that warm, sunny day where he will be surrounded by his community as he is laid to rest.

Ethical treatment of our animals is our promise, and that especially includes making the decision to release them from their pain in the most loving and humane way possible.

🍃New Blog Post Alert🍃

"Your beautiful and perhaps impossible-seeming dreams are supported by the unlimited resources of the Universe. Even if you don't know what is needed to create a successful outcome, the Universe does"

As I sit here and write this, I’m wiping tears that have been slowly streaming down my face all morning. Many of you have read my recent blog and social media posts expressing our exhaustion and heaviness around our current circumstances. Our energy has been low and our finances have been strained...

✨Say hello to our newest intake, Mango✨

Mango is approximately 17 years old and came as a surrender from a lovely family just outside Edmonton. She had been struggling with her health for some time and unfortunately the family were no longer able to care for her unique needs. She has only been with us a week but already she has become a fan favourite amongst our visitors.

She absolutely loves attention and scratches and sits somewhere in the middle-bottom of the pecking order in our little mini herd. We believe she may have been living with undiagnosed cushings which has resulted in her laminitic issues, so we have drawn blood and sent it away for testing to confirm. While we wait, she is receiving chasteberry and other supplements to support her body condition and help her gain a bit more weight.

She is due to have her teeth floated soon, as she has quite a few sharp edges and she received her first trim with us on Saturday which was very much overdue. And not only that - she got a little extra TLC when Dr Kat came and did a bit of acupuncture on her back and organs to try and support her healing process. We have concluded that somewhere along her journey she most likely broke a rib that went unattended, because she has a deformity of her right rib and both hips are exceptionally tender to work with. But she's in good hands now and is on the mend!

She is currently not available for adoption, however she is seeking sponsorship to support her high-maintenance care.
