They’re Still Waiting to See You in 2015
You can visit our 52 rescued horses and ponies when Guided tours begin this spring. They miss all the company we had in 2014.
We Love to Celebrate!
Ciders, soups, and deserts greeted the guests on Saturday, December 6th at the first of two Year-End Open Barn Events at the Equamore Sanctuary. Some of our current donors, some potential donors, and some folks just interested in seeing what we do and spending time with the horses attended the two hour open house. Abbey, Ruby, Colleen, Ruth, JW, Nancy and Linda talked with participants and gave guided tours while Jeff Stanley played his guitar and sang to the congregation.…

Reunion!
More than a year after these three Percherons were rescued and brought to our Sanctuary, they were finally together and content.

Casper’s Big Day
Casper, once labeled “afraid of his own shadow,” has blossomed into a sweet and loving horse. Each day everything at Equamore gets a little less scary (including the vicious leaf blower and even the potentially horse-eating fly system), allowing Casper’s true nature to begin to shine through. He is an incredibly affectionate horse who is learning to truly adore human attention. He will trot to the fence when called, just to say hi, and follows anyone around in the pasture,…
