Sanctuary Horses
Too many people equate the word "sanctuary" with sad, end-of-life places where equines go to die. At EOI, we see our our senior and medically compromised horses as a gift. Each one came to us with a history and a tenacity that helped them survive until they found a soft landing at EOI and our volunteers try and do something every chance they have to make their life better - a long scratch under and itchy Winter blanket, carrots cut small or even shredded so they can enjoy that sweet taste if their teeth are not that great, fresh pine bedding under their favorite tree, etc.
And there is always hope for those little miracles - adopters come along with huge hearts, nice facilities and infinite patience that are willing to bring these horses home and create their own sanctuary.
