Meet the Herd

Each name here was once a number on an auction ticket.

Now they have stories, friendships, and the freedom of an open pasture.

Gabriella

Rescued from a Texas auction lot, 2024.

Gabriella

The first to teach us softness.

Gabriella came to us underweight and watchful. The first weeks she stood at the far end of the pasture, choosing the distance she needed. Today she meets new visitors at the gate — gentle, present, and unafraid.

PersonalityQuiet, observant, deeply intuitive.

Asher

Pulled from a kill-pen transport, 2023.

Asher

A heart that remembered how to trust.

Asher arrived with a lowered head and a tucked tail — the language of a horse who had learned to disappear. Months of slow, regulated presence returned the brightness to his eyes. He now offers it back, freely, to every person who arrives carrying weight.

PersonalityReserved, then radiant. Loves stillness.

Junebug

Surrendered after auction, 2023.

Junebug

Wild grace, gently held.

Junebug is our reminder that freedom is not a place — it is a relationship. She moves through the herd with quiet authority, and she has become a teacher for the more anxious arrivals, modeling what regulated safety looks like.

PersonalityConfident, playful, herd-minded.

Ollie

Bonded pair rescue, 2024.

Ollie

The smallest soul, the largest heart.

Ollie the donkey came to us alongside a draft horse mare who refused to leave his side. They remain inseparable. Ollie greets every morning with the kind of joy that re-tunes the entire pasture.

PersonalityAffectionate, comic, ceremonial.
