Meet Our Herd!

We have  a variety of animals here at the rescue/sanctuary, ranging from 19 hand draft horses to miniature donkeys. Most of our horses came to the rescue after bouncing from auction to auction and living a life of neglect. We provide a safe place for them to land until they can find their forever families or stay here as sanctuary animals. Each animal that is eligible for adoption will leave our farm happy and healthy with up-to-date vaccinations, a current Coggins, and a training and temperament evaluation. If you wish to sponsor one of our animals, please see their profiles for their individual needs.

Boomer

Boomer is a 17 year old Tennessee Walking Horse gelding. He was surrendered to the farm this past summer. Since arriving, he has bonded very well with his herd and loves to eat the pears off the pear tree in his pasture! He is our living Black Beauty and we love seeing him in our pasture.

Gordito

Gordito came to Mad Hatter as an owner rescue in critical-condition. He had liver toxicity and has since made an incredible recovery. Today, Gordito is an absolutely incredible addition to the Mad Hatter family. You can usually find Gordito chilling out taking it slow with his pal   Z-J

Freedom

Freedom came to us through a shelter to shelter transfer from another Humane Society. She is a 22 year old, 14hh, Tennessee Walking Horse mare. She was diagnosed with a condition called DSLD (degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis) which makes her unable to be ridden. She was actually taken off the euthanasia list to come to our rescue. We are honored to be able to support her in her second chance at life!

Dutch

Dutch is another one of our owner surrenders. He is a 22 year old, 15.2hh, Dutch Warmblood gelding. Dutch had a very successful show career as a Hunter/Jumper before being retired due to arthritis that was progressing to the point of him being unable to ride. His owners wanted the best for him and instead of him being sold or taken to auction, they surrendered him to our rescue so they could be sure he would well taken care of in his golden years.

Cash

Cash is a very sweet 26 year old Saddlebred gelding. Cash struggles with Cushings and a low grade heart murmur. Although he has limited time left with us, we are committed to ensuring he stays medicated and fed well. Cash currently eats four meals and over 3 pounds of Alfalfa hay per day!

Z-J

Z-J is our newest pony to the rescue. He is a Shetland Pony. Z-J will not only be a part of Cassie's Care Farm, he is also in training for therapy and special events! His nickname on the farm is Jay-Z, because he is one cool dude!

Chubby

Chubby is one of our newest surrenders to the farm. His spots will make your heart swoon! He is just a baby at only 2 years old, and you can frequently catch him bucking and running around the care farm with our mini donk, Bill!

Ellie 

Ellie is a senior Thoroughbred mare in her thirties. She is one of the sweetest old ladies we've ever had, and a joy to be around! She can be found with feed all over her face 90% of the time, as she loves to blow bubbles in her mash!

Margaret

Margaret was an owner surrender with her brother Stanley, but she is the exact opposite. This sweet girl wants to say hello to everyone that walks by. Although she is far more social than her brother, you will always find her tagging along with Chubby and Stanley.

Brownie

Brownie is our 9 year old jenny, and she gets to live her life at the farm being doted on by the kids. She will also be included in the Care Farm once we open in the near future!

Chicken Wing

Chicken is the tiniest donkey on the farm. He was another shelter to shelter transfer. He was pulled from an auction in Tennessee where he was extremely malnourished. Life was very touch and go for Chicken in the beginning. He missed the transfer to our facility two times due to being too weak to travel. He is now a healthy, spunky little guy who loves attention!

Stanley

Stanley was an owner surrender to Mad Hatter with his sister Margaret. Since being here, Stanley is still quite shy, but he will come up and say hi. You can usually find this quiet guy wrestling with his best friend Chubby!
