The Horses
Let us share our ever changing and growing family of equines with you. Please remember that each horse is at his or her own stage and timeline of emotional pain, physical pain along with confidence and trust.
Catherine's mission:
"I wanted to create a program that gives horses a chance to find love and kindness as well as finding themselves and in that process find their true giving nature to help heal people. Our horses are rescued from "Kill Pens", auctions, donated cases in need and horses taken from other rescues who's resources are depleted. Our horses come to us with any number of physical, psychological, emotional pains and fears. We work with mind body and soul of the horses in our care to reestablish trust and a zest for life. These horses then go on to help people overcome tremendous pains, circumstances and fear and build trust, community, love and healing"
Timothy
On the Road to Restoration
This gentle giant was originally purchased for our farm family to support our all bodies barn riding program. He is on his way to becoming the big beautiful draft horse he was always meant to be and we love how his playful spirit is beginning to settle in now that he is here on the farm.

Dahlia
Adopted by Director, Catherine Campbell
Dahlia came to us with a reputation from previous auctions of having a fierce protective instinct in her hind end region. "double barrel" kicking was her communication of choice. She was terrified to the point of not being catchable in her pasture when she first arrived. "special cases come home" Catherine shares. "horses that need to be surrounded with love and need a home come up to the house. They live with my husband and I and our horses, basically in our front yard until the trust and confidence can be regained. Dahlia was an extreme case. She has come so far and yet has a long way to go" Dahlia is a forever resident here and we hope that she continues on her path of trust and wellness.
UPDATE: Dahlia lives with Catherine and is one of her personal riding horses. She loves treats, talks and runs up when she's called. She's a happy girl with a forever home.
Tempi
Lesson horse
Tempi, Shirley Temple, came to us with two old hernias after time spent as a broodmare and roping in her past. Tempi was under muscled, underweight, head shy and ulcers, as so many rescue cases do. When she was treated for her ulcers she started a remarkable turn around. Tempi is a reliable trail mount and force to be reckoned with in the dressage arena.

Theodore
On the Road to Restoration
Theo was in a euthanasia situation after a diagnosis of Ring Bone was found shortly after his original rescuer got him from Kaufman kill pen. Not wanting to spend the money to make him comfortable and take a chance on him not being riding sound. Theo is currently working with our staff becoming a safe trail mount, a job that helps keep his feet feeling good! along with custom shoes to help support him.
Calida
Lesson horse
Sweet, loving mare with a crushed orbital socket likely due to being hit so hard in the head during training the broke her eye socket. Calida took us almost two years to get sound and comfortable. She is now a superstar in our leasing and lesson program. She is working on mounted archery, is a very safe trail horse and teaches kids english and western riding skills.
Sprinkles
Lesson Horse Restoration
Sprinkles is a shining example of why we do the work that we do. This horse two years ago was on her death bed at 33 yrs old. She has been in our care for almost 4 years and LOVES her job. After putting 150 lbs of weight back on her she was able to start riding. She now still rides on trails and is a mounted archery horse!
Henry
Lesson horse
Henry came to us very ill from the Kill Pen, he spent 90 days in quarantine on antibiotics before he could join us at the farm. He had bleeding mouth ulcers that made eating impossible and horrible ulcers. After a few years of dedicated care and repairing Henry's body and mind he is a student favorite. Henry has his forever home with our program.
Ariel
In memory
Our hardest case and sweetest girl is now laid to rest. Ariel fought hard and was a wonderful and loving girl. She lost her battle with Cancer July 2023.
