Jackson
Jackson is the old man at our Sanctuary Farm, but he has a young soul! He is sweet, gentle, and loves being groomed by our volunteers. He is the best horse to love on and really enjoys rubs and kisses. He was a high achiever during his show days and he enjoyed donuts as his sweet treat, but he is accustomed to grain and carrots now!

Grace
Grace is a beautiful, registered little Paso Fino mare. She was found starving in Haywood County with a pasture mate who has since passed away. She has dropped rear fetlocks which are not causing her any lameness issues but could at some point. She is an easy keeper in the summer but requires more hay and grain in the winter to maintain her weight. She is super sweet, yet guarded with her affection.
