PepperPepper is a Mustang, born in 1996 and he was our first official sanctuary animal. He actually came with the farm! The person who sold the farm to the founders of the sanctuary had not yet found a home for this old fella and when he found out their plans for the farm, he gladly let him stay. Shortly after the founders moved in and started caring for Pepper they learned that he has Cushings Disease. Horses with Cushings are more prone to laminitis (a painful foot condition), excess hair growth, and dangerous infections. Pepper has been on medication since 2015 and is doing great!

This sweet senior girl came to us from another facility after being saved from the kill pen at the Eugene Livestock Auction. A well-intentioned person bought her from the “kill buyer” in an effort to save her from slaughter but abandoned her at a quarantine facility when they realized they didn’t have the means to care for her. When she arrived at our sanctuary she was underweight, loaded with intestinal parasites, and in need of dental work. Her past experiences left her anxious and somewhat untrusting but she immediately bonded with Pepper (our original sanctuary resident) and her confidence continues to grow. She’s feeling quite at home here and we’re so happy to have this gentle soul with us.

Chaco
Chaco is a Percheron Morgan mix who is full of life and excited to be living at the sanctuary. A few years ago he was diagnosed with ringbone (a form of arthritis in his feet) thus retiring him from riding. Because we know that he has inherent value that goes well beyond his ability to perform a specific function, we were happy to accept him from another facility and we're so glad he'll get to spend his golden years with us.

Emma
This sweet filly came to the sanctuary in June 2016. We estimate that she was somewhere around a year and a half old at that time. We accepted her as a transfer from another rescue in town after Lane County Animal Control was able to negotiate her surrender. She was living in a very small paddock full of dangerous debris including wood with nails sticking out, and sharp metal roofing. She was in this small paddock with her mom, a younger brother and two other horses. She was very underweight, had lice and other skin conditions, and it was clear that she did not feel well. Within two months we had her up to a proper weight, skin issues under control, and she's acting like a young filly learning her way in the world!

SaraSara is a sweet teenager who just wants to hang out with her buddies and chill. In her younger years she didn't get the hoof care she needed and has some lingering issues as a result.

What a character! Wilbur is a goofy lovable guy just looking to spend his days with his sister Sara. He's also got some hoof issues but they are easily managed with proper trimmings and a few extra treats!
