Adopt or Sponsor one of our residents! Here are just a few of our 33 equine. We are primarily a sanctuary, but we have a few equine who are available for adoption. All are available for sponsoring. Sponsors help support their special friends!
Arwan (adopted)
Companion Horse
18 years old
Trained but a rider hurts her
Bailey (Sponsored)
Companion Horse
20+ years old
Bailey came to us a horse that had not been ridden for 12 years. In fact, her previous owner didn't realize she'd been trained.
Boo (adopted)
2 year old Chesnut gelding who came to us at 2 months old extremely sick. He's a healthy, happy boy now living the life!
Donkeys
Donkeys are not available for adoption but are always available for love and treats. They are Bronco, Pablo, Mambo, Jose and Daisy.
Skip (Sponsored)
Skips is a gorgeous Palamino who is a calm gentlemen's ride. He loves trails and is in his mid twenties.
Wink
Flashy (Sponsored)
Flashy survived EPM and need a daily supplement to manage the consequences but he's as sweet as the day is long!
Jack Russell
Jack is a registered North American Curly Horse. A sweet couple in Louisa took him in when he had no place to go. His medical issues (Heaves) led him to drop weight and they didn't know how to help so he came to SFES. His respiratory issues are managed here however his tendency to love to roll in dirt is not. We call him PigPen when he's not listening and groom often. You may visit and catch hom clean if you're lucky.
Prince (Sponsored)
Prince is a 12-year old Arabian mix who came to us an 8 year old stallion. He's under saddle but green. He has potential and is gorgeous.
Dakota (Koda)
Koda came to us 2 years ago with severe white line disease. Poorly haltertrained and in pain, he was downright dangerous. Today he's healed, a big puppy and under saddle.
American Saddlebreds (Partial Sponsor)
SIX American Saddlebreds, rescued from Lunenberg County completely feral now love people. They were chased with ropes and injured. They're healed and socialized. There are SIX!
Arthur
Arthur is a former Amish Work Horse. His scars tell a sad story but he's gloriously happy now. Arriving at SFES in Spring of 2024, he's a big teddy bear who loves attention.
Wink was dropped off at a nearby farm when she was 3 years old. They took care of her for 12 years until they had to give up the farm. Because she had not been haltered for years and years, she risked euthanasia. After being alone, she now has her own herd.
Hector (Cholderton Hyperion) (Partial Sponsor)
Hector is a 19yo Cleveland Bay. He was born in England and came to America when he was 1yo. He was a stud horse for many years having the best bloodlines of all Cleveland Bays. He threw 19 colts then was gelded. While not used as a saddle horse, we have him undersaddle. He requires an advanced rider or he shuts down.
Eclipse (Hector's pony)
I’m a paragraph. Drag me tGilly is a Mule. His Mother was an Appaloosa horse and his Daddy was a Donkey. He's sweet but takes time to trust. We know he was slaughter bound and adopted by a sweet lady. But she had to put him in a boarding barn. He's settled greatly at SFES and is a loved sweetie.o add paragraph to your block, write your own text and edit me.
Friday and Phoenix
Friday is a Hanovarian and Phoenix is a thoroughbred. They are a couple and look out for one another. Both are ridable but, remember, Friday is a mare and can challenge. Phoenix is pretty bombproof but can be afraid.
