Current horse enrichment needs

These items help the horses in our care build confidence, learn new behaviors, and become desensitized to different textures, sounds, and objects. Each one supports their progress and prepares them for the second chance they deserve.

P.S. Did you purchase any of these items for our team? Thank you! Please let us know so we can keep track!

Foster

Open your home

Fostering a barn animal is not only a rewarding experience for the human, but it also gives roosters, pigs, horses, and others a change of environment where they can continue to thrive until they are adopted.
