Offer a caring home to a horse who has
served his owners long and well, but is no longer considered
"valuable" enough to warrant further investment by those owners.
Help to educate owners struggling with
their Equine Elders' changing needs.
Participate, with your Elders, in local
shows, parades, and other events to demonstrate that a horse's
abilities cannot be judged based solely on chronological age.
Make a tax-deductible contribution to
Traveller's Rest Equine Elders Sanctuary.

"We
are never completely free of our egos, but we can work to
cultivate a psyche that recognizes when Ego is getting in our
way. We discover again and again in working with horses
that as we gain inner balance, we are better able to surrender
our Egos without collapsing emotionally."
