Serenity Stables & Equine Rescue

We are a small private horse rescue located in Ionia, MI. Rescuing, rehabbing and rehoming, 1 equine at a time.

Serenity Stable & Equine Rescue's mission statement: Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home, abandoned, neglected and abused horses. One life at a time.
We strive to improve the life of each and every horse we are able to take. To educate the public on proper care, cost and responsibility required to care for such amazing, majestic creatures.
Serenity Stables & Equine Rescue is a private horse rescue started in 2013 with 2 horses who really needed our help. We have since helped a total of 6 to date (10-18-14) and still striving to help more everyday. 4 out of the 6 have been replaced in approved adoptive homes and one unfortunately had to be humanely euthanized due to quality of life being not good and her being in constant severe pain. We were unfortunately too late for her but did help her to peacefully cross onto the rainbow bridge. Our overall goal is to rehabilitate and re-home each horse that comes to us. However we realize we may end up with an occasional permanent member of the rescue and occasionally be too late to help some and will have to make them as comfortable as we can in there remaining time on this earth before we help them to peacefully cross. Each rescue that comes in requires an initial vet visit which can cost around $150 sometimes more, usually consist of blood work, coggins testing, vaccinating, overal assessment and anything else the horse may require upon arrival. Most rescues come to us with very poor feet as well. This can cost us anywhere from $25 on up per horse depending on the condition of the feet. Most rescues are wormed immediately, started on sand clear to clean out there gut and started on hay & grain depending on their needs. We prefer to feed Tribute as it is reasonably priced and once we become 501c3 if we save proof of purchases (which we do) Tribute will give back to the rescue!!!! As you see its not cheap to rescue a horse. Heck its not cheap to just own a horse, rescuing is even more expensive. We can't do it alone. The rescue always needs donations, volunteers, even people just sharing our status' and updates to spread the word. The more people that know the more options we have for help. Donations of hay, grain, cocosoya oil. red cell, sand clear, and cash towards ferrier and vet bills are always the most common needs. Cash Donations can be made via check/money order, made out to "Serenity Stables" and mailed directly to the rescue.Cash Donations can also be made via paypal at fancyrider711@aol.com. Please add note of "Serenity Stables Donation".
Or cash donations can also be dropped off personally to the rescue by appointment and we would love to give you a tour!
Gift cards towards TSC or Family Farm and home are also welcome as this is where we purchase most supplements, some grain, wormers, etc that we use.
Remember NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL!!! We seriously can't do this alone and the horses as well as ourselves appreciate everything and everyone who helps in any way they can! It truly does take many people!!!!! This task is not easy. It is emotionally and mentally draining as well as financially draining. But these horses can't talk or help themselves, they depend on us and need us. And when others fail them either by neglect, lack of experience or for health or financial reasons we would like to be there to help them back up. Thank you again.
