Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to rescue as many at-risk horses as possible—those that have been forgotten, abused, starved, neglected,
and abandoned. We are committed to preventing these horses from entering low end auctions and possibly the slaughter
pipeline. At our rescue, we ensure their safety and well-being, providing thorough examinations by our veterinarian and farrier
to restore their health. Once they are healthy, our trainers evaluate each horse and begin a training program infused with love and compassion, preparing them for a new and promising life.
We firmly believe that every horse deserves a permanent home where they are cared for and loved, becoming a cherished
lifelong companion.
Our vision is to educate our volunteers and the community on horsemanship that emphasizes love and compassion, as well
as proper care and nutrition. By sharing this knowledge, we are confident that we can create a culture where more horses are
treated with the dignity and understanding they rightfully deserve.
We've got some awesome horses up for adoption or foster care,
ready to be your new social media buddies!
General
Meet General, our wonderful equine companion! He joined our team in July 2023 after completing his time in a school ag program, and we couldn't be more excited to have him here! Although he wasn't initially trained for riding, we recognized his amazing potential and enrolled him in our training program. After overcoming some challenges, including an abscess and receiving excellent veterinary care, we learned that General has ring bone and tendon damage, which means he won't be trained to ride. At just 9 years old, this handsome quarter horse is seeking a sponsor or foster home. Let's unite to provide General with the love and support he truly deserves!
. Dallas
Allow us to introduce you to the one and only Dallas! We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome our newest arrival—a charming 16-year-old, 13-hand Pony who is ready to make a splash! Dallas came from a children's non-riding therapy program, but let’s just say he quickly realized that it wasn’t quite the right fit for his vibrant personality. Before that, he gave a riding program a shot, but it seems he decided that wasn’t his scene either. With his endearing little crooked nose, he’s not just sweet; he’s also a bit pushy—imagine this little lovable dude in the barn! We’re really looking forward to working on his ground manners and figuring out how he rides. So, stay tuned, because we can’t wait to see which brave and adventurous rider will be the perfect match for this delightful little guy!
Dutchess
Get ready to meet the incredible Dutchess, our newest superstar! This delightful 15-hand, 16-year-old quarter-type mare here to win you over. Unfortunately, she was relinquished by her previous owner due to some training challenges. Once a beloved lesson horse, Dutchess is now looking for a new home after her owner realized they couldn't manage two horses. We’ve encountered similar situations before, and we believe her bucking issue when cantering is likely pain-related. But don’t worry—she’ll be evaluated by our vet soon, and we can’t wait to see her shine again!
Whiskey
Introducing the fabulous Whiskey! This beautiful 15.3-hand, 8-year-old registered Thoroughbred mare is bursting with potential! Although she never raced and isn't an OTTB, she came to us needing a bit of extra training due to her previous owner's inexperience. With some attention to her ground manners which has considerably improved, Whiskey has had some training and has been ridden and displays a calm, steady demeanor. She's on the lookout for a confident or experienced rider to help thrive, and with her youthful spirit, she’s ready to excel in any discipline!
Grace
Meet the fabulous Grace! What an extraordinary little horse she is! She can hardly contain her excitement to meet her new partner and start her adventure to a forever home. At 18 years old and standing at 14.2 hands, she’s the sweetest and cutest companion you could ever dream of! A delightful mix of registered half Arabian and half Friesian, Grace is perfect for a confident beginner who loves easygoing trail rides and is also up for some fun in the arena. She truly radiates charm and grace!
Jojo
Meet our beloved Jojo, a charming 25-year-old senior horse who brings so much joy to our rescue! Jojo came to us when his owner, sadly battling terminal cancer, and could no longer care for him, but ironically, during a vet exam Jojo was diagnosed with lymphoma and Cushing's disease. But don’t worry—Jojo is here to stay with us until he’s ready to gallop over the rainbow bridge! In the meantime, he needs a caring sponsor to help cover the medications and supplements that keep him feeling his best. Let's rally together for Jojo!
Harry
Oh Harry, what a wonderful boy you are! At just 25 years old, you’re our beloved retired sanctuary horse. Though you can’t be ridden due to trust issues, your past doesn’t define you. It’s true that you’ve been misunderstood, which makes it difficult to find that one person who will understand you and would love to foster you, but once you get to know someone, you reveal your sweetest side! If only we could find a kind-hearted sponsor or foster who sees the amazing horse you truly are!
Darlin
Meet our gentle giant, sweet Darlin! Standing tall at 17 hands and weighing in at 1375 lbs, she has the calmest and most loving temperament you could ever imagine. She's incredibly accommodating with everything we do with her! While we've been facing a challenge with her swollen left rear leg even though she is not lame we are still very concerned, we've consulted our vet, taken her to the hospital, and ran tests and x-rays to find answers. Though the vets are puzzled, we're absolutely determined to uncover the solution and help her feel her best! She could surely use a sponsor about now to help with the vet bills and medications, could you be the one to help our gentle giant?
Cinderella
Meet Cinderella, our amazing 19-year-old, 15-hand Quarter Horse mare! She came to our rescue looking for love and understanding, and we believe she’s ready to shine! While her previous owners thought she was a gentle beginner's horse, the reality is that she was a bit scared and untrusting, needing the right training. With the help of a dedicated person, she has made incredible strides, but she’s still looking for that experienced rider to help her conquer her fears and boost her confidence. Could you be the one to help Cinderella sparkle? Let’s make her dreams come true together!
We'd like to make the adoption process easy and exciting.
#1. To get started, complete and submit our online adoption application. Once we review it, we’ll contact you
to inform you of your approval status. If everything checks out, you can schedule a time to come meet the horse!
#2. Next, you’ll set up a 2nd visit to meet the horse you’re interested in. You can arrange to watch our trainer ride and
have the opportunity to ride as well!
#3. During your visit, you’ll see the horse being ridden by our trainer, and you may have the chance to ride too.
If you’re under 18, a helmet is required. You’ll begin in the round pen, and if our trainer feels you’re safe, you can
move to the arena. If you’re still interested in adopting the horse, you and another rider can take a trail ride together.
Should you decide to adopt and you feel this horse is the one, we require a $100 donation that will go towards the
adoption fee. Our priority is to ensure that our horses find their perfect forever homes!
If you and the horse are a match and we all agree, you’ll need to complete the Adoption Contract and pay the adoption
fee before taking the horse home, if you don't have transport for the horses we can offer transport for a fee. Payments
can be made via cash, check, Zelle at wildsagehorserescue@gmail.com,
Venmo, or PayPal (+2.5% for PayPal fees) at wildsagehorserescue. The adoption fee will be held until the adoption is
finalized. We’ll also arrange a home visit to assess where the horse will live, and once approved, you can bring your new
companion home. We encourage a pre-purchase exam by your veterinarian, but that’s at your discretion.
Our Return Policy
We offer a 30-day return policy for our adopted horses. If, at any point during the 30-day trial, you feel it’s not the right
fit, you can return the horse back to us, and we’ll refund your adoption fee within 2 weeks as long as the horse is in
good condition, minus the $100 donation. Our mission is to ensure every horse finds a loving forever home!
Check out our adopted horses living their best lives with their new family's!
