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. For additional
information about Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning, please contact (520)
