Since opening our doors in 2012 as a volunteer-based 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, we have helped more than 700 horses by providing a sanctuary and support network for retired, rescued and recovering horses.

​

After rescuing Vivi from the slaughter pipeline in March, we were shocked and then delighted to discover that she harbored a secret and had smuggled a little +1 along. 

​

Praying he had been spared any repercussions of the neglect she had endured, Cal was born perfectly healthy on April 18th.  

​

Our beautiful Vivi has gone from haggard, thin, and stressed to a lovely, powerful, dappled mare who was a patient and tender mother to her first born.

​

Cal is perfect. Playful, curious, and mimicking his mother's every move as he learns the ropes of becoming a big boy in a safe and welcoming world.

​

Unscathed by her experiences, Vivi has moved on with such quiet grace and mercy.  We are humbly inspired to do the same.

 

A happy ending, a happy beginning.     Love is good.
