I am thrilled to update everyone we are 53% of the way to meeting our $10,000 goal. This campaign is so very important to us as a Sanctuary. It will help our animals and be a wonderful community service for our local area. But we can't do it without your support. Every single dollar makes a difference.

Charlie was the last to join the herd. No fanfare. No drama. Once he showed calm interest like Rio and Pharaoh did, I let him in.

It’s Shire Saturday and Big V says “Thank you to everyone who has supported me with their time, talent and treasure.”

One of our volunteers, Pat, recently had his first experience with line driving, and picked it up very quickly. Pharaoh, who has been steadily gaining weight and strength these last few months, is an excellent teacher! Look how handsome he is!!🐴

We are honored and delighted to have received notification we are being awarded $2500 for our Caisson Service campaign by A Home For Every Horse. Our caisson program will provide a ceremonial funeral procession for those who served in the military, police officers and fire fighters in the NY/NJ/PA area, using our rescued and rehabilitated equines. It will bring awareness to the endangered breed status of the Shire Horse while also giving them light exercise in a responsible way. Currently, we have two Shire horses, a Dutch Harness Horse, and a National Show Horse who are being trained to perform the caisson service. Please continue to "like" and "follow" us as we work to achieve this goal!

We are proud participants in A Home for Every Horse equine network resource for their work in the field of equine rescue. Check them out!
