Meet Our Herd!

Spirit is our 20 year old Percheron gelding, and one of our longest residents at the rescue. Standing at 17.2hh, Spirit is a permanent resident due to his neurological condition called Stringhault. Unfortunately this makes him unable to be ridden, but he is a joy to have on the farm and he sure is easy on the eyes too! 

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!

Named after his soft teddy bear ears and gentle demeanor, Bear is one of our newer owner surrenders. He is a 27 year old Appendix gelding and stands almost 16 hands tall! Bear is another one of our seniors who also eats four meals a day. Although he's very thin, he has no other ailments and we can't wait to share his progress as he blossoms into a big healthy guy!

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. 

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!

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 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!

Hamilton & Gwenton are the farm's resident Kune Kune pigs. They are VERY friendly and talkative and LOVE snacks. They can't wait to be moved up for the Care Farm and be constantly doted on by our visitors! 

Petunia was an owner surrender. She is a more introverted pig. She was severely overweight when she arrived and we have since been monitoring her diet. She also had to have her hooves trimmed upon arrival - they were over 3 inches long!
