Our Herd
Meet the Herd
Every member of our herd has a story. Get to know the horses who make Open Spaces Sanctuary a place of healing.
The Herd
Meet Our Horses
Some of our horses have been rescued from kill pens and difficult circumstances. Others came to us through different paths, but each one has been given the opportunity to live a safe, meaningful, and cared-for life.
Here, horses are given time, patience, good care, and the opportunity to simply be horses. They have space to move, time to develop trust, and a place where they are valued for who they are.
More Than a Second Chance
Our horses become part of something bigger.
Through our programs, they have the opportunity to connect with people in meaningful ways. Their individual personalities, experiences, and ways of responding can offer honest feedback and valuable lessons about trust, communication, boundaries, confidence, patience, and connection.
Horses are not tools. They are partners in the experience.
A Growing Rescue Mission
Rescue is an important part of the future of Open Spaces Sanctuary.
Our vision is to provide a safe place for more horses who need a second chance—including horses coming from kill pens and other difficult situations—and give them the opportunity to live a healthy, purposeful life.
Some may eventually become part of our programs when it is appropriate for the individual horse. Others may simply enjoy their retirement here, knowing they are safe, cared for, and valued.
Every horse deserves a good life.
Our goal is to create a place where horses can find that life while, when appropriate, becoming part of experiences that positively impact people too.
Come Meet Them
Every horse has something different to offer.
Some teach us patience. Some teach us confidence. Some remind us to slow down. Others simply remind us how powerful connections can be.
Come meet our horses and hear their stories.
