Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Being the best we can be in a world full of other organizations claiming to do the same thing.

After 40 years of taking in rescues we plan an expansion to help more troubled people with the horses we save. The more horse people we can create the more homes there will be for the many homeless horses.

We are just moving into a 35 acre Irrigated property that will allow us to not only care for more horses, but expand our lesson & education programs.

We still need fencing, another barn, & much gravel for roads & general clean up. We have the children, the horses, and local support- the rest will fall into place.
