Your horse in the Sundance Sanctuary will enjoy a glorious life of year round grazing with supplemental hay in winter months, romping through the fields and trees and drinking and splashing in the half acre lake. There is plenty of shelter from trees and shelter structures and they are checked on and loved on every day. Supplements or medicine is also administered daily if needed. If you would like more information, please contact us. We would love to have your beloved horse join our Sanctuary herd.
