Meet Our Animals
Vixen

Vixen was rescued alongside Princess and quickly became one of the sweetest members of our herd.

Princess
3 Years - Tennessee walking horseĀ
Princess was rescued alongside Vixen after suffering severe neglect. She arrived underweight with deep wounds around her neck from a halter that had been left on far too long.
