Be a Valentine to an Equine

Celebrate Valentine's Day with our beloved equines by donating and receiving a heart to adorn their stalls! For every $5 donation, a heart will be beautifully placed on the stall of your chosen equine. Your generous contribution will aid in providing continuous care for our equine friends. Each heart will feature the name of the donor or in honor of someone, and we will proudly display your heart during our live stream event.

Join us for a virtual dining experience via Facebook Live from the Sanctuary. Discover which individuals are infatuated with each other.

Our Story

Hay Burr Inn has been rescuing horses for over a decade, but only became a Charitable 501(c)(3) Organization in 2014. We are celebrating 10 years of restoring equine souls!

Our Barn was constructed using 100% recycled and donated materials and labor. New construction to the barn is still being added as the number of horses has grown since it was first built.

We currently house 14 horses, 2 donkeys and 1 mule. Learn More

Because the entire staff is family and volunteers, 100% of the money donated by our supporters goes directly to the horses.

Hay Burr Inn has 16 acres of land undergoing pasture reclamation, so it can accommodate a free range for the horses. Our goal is to have a self-sustaining hay field and a full round-a-bout walking track.

Here at Hay Burr Inn Equine Rescue & Sanctuary we practice the “Mustang Method” for our horses. They must walk to the end of the track to get to their hay, and walk back to the barn for their water. Along this track, there are many stations with salt licks and scratch posts. This method helps motivate our horses to get exercise and to socialize with each other. We want our horses to just “be horses”.

We rescue the “unwanted of the unwanted” horses. Horses who no longer serve a purpose for their owners are put up for auction and sold to the highest bidder. Those who are “too broken” to be purchased at the auction are sent over the Canadian or Mexican borders for slaughter. It is our goal to intercept these horses that are bound for slaughter, and take them to our sanctuary. Other horses come to us from severe neglect, abuse and owner surrenders.

Regardless of their origin, it is our goal to take these horses to our sanctuary where they can rest and be rehabilitated. We rehabilitate their health and their spirit- Allowing them a safe place to recover from any medical or mental trauma of their past.

At this time none of the horses at Hay Burr Inn Equine Rescue & Sanctuary are in a condition to be fostered.
