Whisper's Sanctuary offers many programs that support our mission. If you would like additional information, please contact us at toni@rrheartranch.com or (520) 455-5424. Sponsor a Retired Military Horse They served their Country with honor and pride, and deserve a safe and peaceful retirement.  Horses from the 4th Memorial Cavalry of Ft. Huachuca  always have a retirement home at the Sanctuary.  If you would like to sponsor one of these horses, they would be greatly appreciative.  We do not receive any government funds for the care of these horses.  They are gentle, kind horses, and often participate in our children's educational program and the therapeutic programs we offer. Forever HERO    Forever Humane Education and Retirement Options (HERO) is our educational program for children & adults which teaches about the responsibilities of horse ownership, including the cost associated with horse ownership, horse health requirements, and humane options for retiring unrideable horses.  The goals of this program are currently achieved through hosting school groups for sanctuary visits and writing newspaper articles for public education. Arizona Equine Sanctuary and Rescue Network We have created a blog site, www.azanimals.blogspot.net to list available animals as a way of assisting owners in re-homing their horses.  We also have an extensive email contact list of rescues and sanctuaries throughout AZ.  If you might be interested in adopting an unwanted horse and would like to be part of our email list, please contact us. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy As part of our mission statement, we offer EAP as a way for the horses to contribute to the community for the care they receive.  The horses have the option of "working" in this program in order to earn funds for the Sanctuary.  The horses really enjoy being part of this program, and so far it has made a significant impact on the people who have participated.
