Our purpose is to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Rehome Equines and to educate people on their care and upkeep.

We never intended to be a rescue, but here we are, a 501c3 Non-Profit Equine Rescue.

We offer group and Family tours by appointment daily! Come out meets us, volunteer, sponsor, or donate! We love to show off the animals in our care!

About us:

1st off, we are not a training facility.

Keith's father was a horse and mule trainer. He has 30+ yrs of experience with equines and bovine, from working with his father to train "unmanageable mules/horses" to having his own farm.
Alex grew up with horses and has a strong thirst for knowledge always researching and learning new and better techniques for care and handling. She has years of experience with animal care and training from equine to rodent.

We do not have anything fancy here. Everything was built with what we could find, what we could afford, and what was donated. The animals are well fed, well cared for, happy, and healthy. They don't care how it looks, just that we take good care of them. So if you are interested in "fancy" this would not be a good fit for you.

We believe in Natural Horsemanship and I have DVD's and learning materials available for the use of volunteers interested in learning about the methods and using them with our horses or donkeys. We have set up a computer room at our house for watching and studying the videos, so you can learn methods in between working with the animals.

We rescued our first horse on May 1st 2012, since then we have rescued 48 animals and successfully rehomed 24. If you click on our albums, we will show you the pictures from when we first brought them home and how far they have come. We have had to turn away more horses then we have rescued, mostly because we just didn't have the people to take care of them. That hurt my heart, but I can only do what I can do with out more help.

Hot, cold, rain, or shine; our days start with mucking out stables and making the rounds to feed everyone, and end pretty much the same way. Once they came to live with us they became like our children, and we will do our very best to always make sure they are well cared for.

We have a 50 ft round ring, 8 stall barn, and shelters that we built in the 6 acre pasture, a 40 ft round ring and 4 stalls in the back yard at my house, Run-in shelters and a 40ft round ring, with 12 acres, and lots of horses, donkeys, goats, and even dogs that need time and attention. We have some tack, bridles, halters, lead ropes, lung ropes, and saddles available.

Most of the animals came from varied backgrounds, some where abused and/or neglected, and many were thrown away by their previous owners. They are all healthy and gorgeous now! We wouldn't care if they were all pasture pets, but they get bored with that, and it would be a waist for such beautiful animals, so they are all in need of training and attention.

What We Offer To You:
"Volunteer Situations","Work For Trade Leases", "On Site Leases", and "Adoptions". This is a place to care, learn from, and teach and others, while making a better life for the animals in our community.
