The herd
Rescue horses, given a forever home and a purpose.
Nine horses. Rescue, retirement, and a second chance. Every one of them home.
Why rescue
This is not a side project.
We rescue and rehabilitate horses that were left behind, and we give them a loving forever home so each animal can live with purpose, helping people who have struggled. The herd is not a prop. They are partners, and they enjoy the work.
Guests often arrive sure they are not horse people. The horses are unbothered by that. They ask only that you show up as you are, which is harder than it sounds and exactly why it heals.

Montana
Leadership, connection, authenticity
Rescued from a kill lot in Montana and home since October 2017. A confident herd leader who wants you to show up — and will spend his life sharing that grounded, protective nature.

July 2018
Skyy
Trust, boundaries, mutual agreement
Home since July 2018. Rough handling earlier in life taught her to take her time; she still warms up slowly, and she teaches the sweetness that comes from real trust.
March 2019
Shiloh
Grace, peace, confidence
Arrived March 2019 with an incredibly gentle soul. His name means peace, and sitting with him is often enough.

Jasper
Trust, boundaries, directness
A SW Oregon mustang, home since October 2020. Sweet, social, a little sassy — and never afraid to ask for a scratch.
June 2024
Lily
Gentleness, connection, confidence
Came from Keenesburg in June 2024 after navicular disease ended her show career. Sweet, loving, and happiest as a horse without high demands.
August 2025
Ruah
Curiousity, trust, courage
A paint mare from the Western Slope, home since August 2025. Curious and a little worried, she has a lot to teach about feeling safe enough to trust.

Dusty
Connection, trust, boundaries
Found at auction in August 2025. Grounded, no-nonsense, and drawn to kiddos — though carrots are not his treat of choice.
Programs are free to the people who serve.
Donations keep the herd fed, the table set, and the gate open. If you cannot come, you can still send someone who needs to.
