Retired rescue horses grazing together in an open pasture

Equine retirement

Our horses

The horses who come to Re-Write Rescue are usually at the end of someone else's plan: a lameness that ended a career, an age that ended a job, an injury that made them unrideable. Unrideable doesn't mean unwanted. Here, retirement is the beginning of a new chapter, not the end of a useful life.

Some of our horses live out quiet days in pasture. Others become teachers in the Wayfinders Learning Center round pen, where their honesty helps people learn about presence and leadership. Every horse is cared for as an individual.

What retirement care costs

Senior nutrition

Soaked feed, forage alternatives and weight monitoring for horses with worn teeth.

Hoof & farrier care

Regular trims and corrective work for arthritic and previously neglected feet.

Veterinary retirement care

Dentals, vaccines, pain management and quality-of-life monitoring.

Pasture & shelter

Rotational grazing, safe fencing, shade and windbreak so horses can simply be horses.

Sponsor a horse

Monthly sponsorship covers hay, feed and routine care for one horse. Individual horse profiles and photos are posted in our journal as each horse settles in.
