OUR PRECIOUS HORSES

We care for the horses and offer rehabilitation/rescue, training to horses and ponies,

and various other animals since 2003.   Countless horses have been adopted or donated to other programs or individuals. Each horse has their own story!

This enables our horses to have their bi -annual vaccines and worming along with many other opportunities to care for your horses. Thank you to everyone who makes this possibly with your horses!
