Sanctuary Horses
Sometimes at SCR we take in horses and animals that will not make good adoption candidates. This may be for various reasons; including long term medical and/ or emotional problems. At SCR we commit to keeping these guys on the farm for the rest of their lives. While the costs and space of keeping these guys can be quite expensive, we would never want to adopt out a horse that could be a burden on its future owner.
Gulch
"Carry Gulch (ARG)" came to SCR in September 2011. Gulch raced in Argentina, but only had a handful of races in the states. Gulch has an incredible personality and is such a sweet stallion. He is even our foal babysitter, when we wean the colts, they go next to Gulch. But Gulch has been plagued with hoof problems. He has foundered twice and recovered from white line disease. His expensive and extensive medical problems have convinced us that he is better suited to live out his like of retirement here at SCR.
Star
"Star Light" Is a registered 17 year old Arabian mare. She came to SCR with a body condition score of 2 with a foal at her side. We believe she has a history of abuse in her past including being ear twitched to the point, that even putting a halter on her can be terrifying. She will twitch when first touched and has not learned to enjoy the human touch. Star enjoys living in a herd. She can be handled enough for medical and hoof care. Years of abuse has taken a toll on her mentally, and it will best suit her to stay within a herd at SCR for the remainder of her life.
