We are a nonprofit organization. Saving lives one horse at a time

Crystel Denton has been a lover of horses for the whole of her life. When other children were  playing with their toys, Crystel was running around on her hands and knees playing "Horse." As a  young girl and teenager, while her friends were going to parties and school dances, she was cleaning stalls, grooming horses, and learning all she could about this magnificent animal. She has worked for veterinarians and show barns. She is an equine appraiser and an artist. After more than 47 years in the horse industry, her love and admiration for the horse has never faded.

Hannah came to the rescue as a volunteer when she was just 12 years old. Her love of horses has kept her here for the last 10 years. Hannah works hard and soaks in all the knowledge and information that she can get a hold of. Over the years, she has learned the basics in ground work on up to first saddling. She has learned to give shots, feed orphans, and feed nutritionally challenged horses. She  has put her heart and soul into the horses who have come through this rescue and those that find sanctuary here. 

Vickie Hill has had horses in her life since the mid 70's when her elementary school age daughter started bringing home stray horses and donkeys in Carmel Valley, California. She found her love of volunteering when she took a box of donated books and opened up a library  in a back room of the old Post Office in Talkeetna Alaska in March of 1973.  Vickie decided she wanted to help others and got her BS in Psychology.  She volunteered with young adults with Autism (ages 18 and over) at Camarillo State Hospital in the mid 70's. She ran a licensed day care out of her home for several years in the early 80's and she operated Clear Water Ranch in Yacolt, Washington raising Registered Quarter Horses and Paints from the mid 90's to the early 2000's.
