| We are delighted to offer a home to these equines. It costs us approximately $2000-2500 a year to provide basic care for a horse. This includes hay, veterinarian and farrier services, and necessary sand colic and deworming treatments. Some horses also need nutritional supplements because of health problems like arthritis, or special food because of teeth problems/inability to chew regular rations. Since opening in March 2006, we have received calls from individuals who have inquired about placing hundreds of equines with us. The cost for feed and medical care for the horses is not fully covered by donations, thus we are limited in the number of equines we can currently accept. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization! Your contributions are fully tax deductible. 100% of donations go toward the feed and medical care for the sanctuary horses, burros, and goats. Many unwanted horses are in desperate need of homes. Please help them by sponsoring a horse today! The horses appreciate your kindness and generosity. |

Stogie
Stogie is a retired B Troop, 4th US Cavalry Regiment (Memorial) horse
from Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. He and Sarge were the first Sanctuary
equine residents in March 2006 when we officially opened.
Stogie was retired due to gradual progression of blindness. He was an
outstanding B Troop mount. In his later years he was especially favored
by the Ladies who rode him side-saddle in parades. One would never
know Stogie has visual depth-perception difficulties. He enjoys
cantering through the field to come to breakfast each morning. He is
especially happy to have girlfriends now, after living in bachelorhood for
many years while a member of the Cavalry.
Lubaria (LuLu)
LuLu is a gentle and pretty Arabian mare donated by the Therapeutic
Riding of Tucson (TROT) program. She was a therapeutic riding horse for
a few years but decided she was ready to be retired from work, at age 26.
Having a mare around really makes the geldings happy, and LuLu seems
no exception!
Marmisa
Marmisa is an older Arabian who was a foster care resident of a local horse
rescue. She has a permanently injured knee which makes her
unrideable. This does not stop her from trotting and cantering around
the field, however! She is one very pretty and happy horse. Can you
help sponsor Marmisa or any of the other Sanctuary horses?
Voodoo
Voodoo spent his whole life working in therapeutic programs for humans.
After an injury to his pastern, he was no longer rideable and was retired.
Voodoo waited 15 months to be able to come and live at the Sanctuary.
We felt he deserved to retire here and live the rest of his life in a herd
environment. He is especially sweet and gentle, and enjoys participating
in our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program as he has much wisdom to
offer us humans.
RJ
RJ was retired from the US Army 4th B Troop Memorial Cavalry due to
health issues. His former life was spent as a racehorse, which he seems
to have enjoyed. We understand he was often witnessed running at
unstoppable high speeds during Cavalry charges, another reason for his
retirement!
Natchez
Natchez was also retired from the US Army 4th B Troop Memorial Cavalry
due to health issues. His other hobby is licking people's faces if you
stand too close for more than a minute!
Daisy and Violet
Daisy and Violet were adopted at a local Bureau of Land Management
wild horse and burro adoption event. After two weeks, 9 month old Violet
was gentled and has really shown her personality. Daisy was a little
slower to be gentled since she was older at adoption time. She is now
fully gentled, and is a wonderfully affectionate and loving little burro.
Chad, Francisco, Martha & Amore
This delightful bunch migrated south from Hacienda de los Milagros
Sanctuary in Chino Valley. They are super sweet and friendly and are
enjoying the warmer temps and grass in the field!
