Sanctuary and Support for Horses at Serenity
​
Our Commitment to Horses in Sanctuary
Serenity has rescued numerous horses over the years, many of whom have special needs. As a result, a significant number of our horses now reside in sanctuary with us. When any horse arrives at Serenity, we make a firm commitment to provide them with the highest quality care, regardless of whether they are suitable for adoption.
Focus on Wellness
Our primary mission centers on the overall wellness of each horse, rather than maximizing annual adoption numbers. This approach allows us to consider the whole horse, ensuring their emotional, behavioral, and physical well-being for as long as they remain with us.
Funding and Community Support
Many funding sources prioritize the number of horses adopted into new homes when deciding which rescues to support. Because Serenity does not focus solely on adoption, we rely on the generosity of other organizations and individuals who are willing to help sustain our sanctuary horses.

Dancer
Born: 2008

Dancer is a 24 year old 14.2 hand bay Arabian cross gelding. He was rescued by his previous owner from a very bad situation. Dancer is very sweet and loves attention. He is blind in his left eye as a result of an infection but appears to be comfortable. Dancer will be in sanctuary until he completes some months of training.
Patrick
Born: 2001
Status: In sanctuary
Patrick is a 15.3 Dark Bay Morgan cross gelding.
He has suffered a lot of abuse in his life and because of his permanent injuries he will live out his life at Serenity in sanctuary. Patrick came from another well known rescue who took great care of him. He is still suffering from the trauma of being stabbed, his tongue almost cut in half and terrible cruel treatment. He is kind and quiet. Patrick takes some time to trust new people.

Mikey is a Black Tennessee Walker who came to Serenity after his owner passed. Mikey was about 600 Ibs underweight. With a proper nutritional plan Mikey has gained weight and is doing great. He is a sweet, gentle boy. Because of his age, Mikey will stay in sanctuary at Serenity.
Lakota
Born: 2009

Lakota was at a stable giving lessons to children. His eye was injured and had to be removed. They sold him to another stable thinking that he might be able to work with adults. They discovered he also had a shoulder injury and contacted Serenity.

Lakota is very gentle and great with people. He could be adopted as a pasture companion. He is currently in sanctuary.
Pixie

She is a beautiful little mare with an enormous amount of fear. She was mistreated at a young age and has a great fear of humans. She is currently in sanctuary and we expect that it may take up to a year for Pixie to begin to trust. Watch for her story on our Facebook page as she travels on her journey to becoming a whole pony.
