Tawnya Reber~ 816-635-3523  "AT THIS TIME I CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE HORSES. THANK YOU."

   I grew up loving horses and always wanted one. I cleaned stalls at 14 so that I could ride. Horses are beautiful, magnificent creatures. In 2006, while browsing the internet, I came across an ad for a paint, Chloe. I had always wanted one so bought her. She was not handled much, but registered and gorgeous! I was boarding her somewhere as I didn't have any land then. I saw a 1 year old on the internet and fell in love with her. I got her and they brought her pasture mate, Dancer, age 3, to me as well. I named her Gracie and she is now 2 and Dancer is 4. Chloe is now 6. I had them board on land and got to thinking.. hmmm.. I have room for a few more. So I posted an ad stating I would take in unwanted horses. I got alot of responses and knew I couldnt take them all. I responded to one that was Peaches, a 30+ year old pony beaten with a board. She is blind from it and her knees are fused. She was my first rescue. Since then there have been many more as you will read. In October we moved to a place with 40 acres of beauty and all the horses are now with me. Yay!

Baby girl, Ginger, was heading to auction when I bought her. I usually dont buy horses, but no telling where she would of ended up. She is a yearling grulla.

   Our mission is to either give a horse a forever home here or rehab them and find them a forever home. These horses deserve a 2nd chance. No horse should be treated this way. While they are here, they will be loved, spoiled, respected, fed, groomed, and trimmed. I have a strong bond with each and every one of them from the time they get here. Almost every horse has come here to retire and not left.

    If interested in adopting one of our horses, please email us. Each person will be screened of course and a small adoption fee will apply.

   We always need both monetary donations as well as horse items. If you can give, even a few dollars, it is appreciated by me and of course the horses! Thank you.

NEEDED HAY FOR WINTER. WE HAVE SOME BUT NOT SURE WE WILL MAKE IT. IF YOU CAN DONATE, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
