We created our rescue to make a difference in the horse world.  We seem to be living in disposable times, and horses are noble beings and friends that are proud to be our partners, and deserve to be cared for from birth to death.  It was painful to watch horses be used and then disposed of when owners didn't win enough with them, or didn't give the relationship enough time to grow.  We decided to step in for these horses and make a difference in their lives, teaching them to trust again and assigning them new, more appropriate jobs they could be proud to perform and could be successful doing each day.  By treating the horses with respect and dignity, as well as seeing each one as useful in his own way, it allows the horse the first stepping stone to overcoming his fears and becoming a good partner to his new human.  We use a slow, easy retraining method, along with veterinary, chiropractic, and proper farrier work to correct any issues our rescues have that may have caused previous roadblocks in life.  Since 2020, our rescue has shifted to a sanctuary only format, meaning that we are no longer actively seeking homes for the horses that remain in our care.  Too many were being returned, and it was causing further trauma to the horses that we had worked so hard with to restore their faith in humans.  They were still, despite our best efforts, continuing to be disappointed in the human race when we would place them in other homes, so we decided to bring them back and they now either give lessons to underprivileged youth in the greater Louisville and Southern Indiana areas or remain retired here in our fields.
