Meet the Horses

Zechariah

Zechariah is an Andalusian Appaloosa cross who was rescued along with his bonded partner Bridget from a neglected situation. He & Bridget were the first of the large animals to arrive at our farm sanctuary, only three days after the founders moved to the property in July 2019. Being middle age (about 15-16 years old) & going blind, he was most likely saved from a trip to an auction mart, where he would then likely ended up in a kill pen or feedlot & eventually slaughtered. Although he has “moon blindness” (a common eye disease for his breed and colour) & he is now blind in one eye & eventually will go blind in the other, that doesn’t slow him down. He is an extremely smart, high-spirited, & friendly horse who loves to learn & do things, including getting into mischief & interacting with visitors.  

 

Bridget 

Bridget is a 12-15 year old Appaloosa & she is the bonded partner to Zechariah. She is feisty & strong-spirited & definitely likes to be the leader but she can also be very gentle & also loves attention from visitors. Bridget like her partner, & most other horses, even loved companions, will eventually end up at a slaughter plant after they get too old, become ill or injured, or of no longer of any use to their owners. Fortunately, Bridget & Zechariah will get to live out their natural lives together at our sanctuary.
