Romeo’s Story…

When we first rescued this pitiful horse, he was nothing to look at...weak, starving; just another nameless horse tied by the side of the road in Baja. But then I looked closer. Someone had cut off the top of his ears. I looked deep into his eyes. He was clearly wounded and angry, yet I saw something else, too. Fear. Just as this horse had been wounded by a human, I had been wounded by a horse (unintentionally) many years ago. He was afraid...just like me.

Together, over the past 6 years, we have learned to trust each other. He is no longer afraid. And neither am I. He is my hero, my love. He is my Romeo.


The cost to care for just one horse is $5,000 per year so our sponsors are critical in providing the ongoing love and care they need. If you wish to contribute towards sponsoring a horse click the button below. Thank you in advance for your support!
