Zebs Wish Equine Sanctuary

Description

Zeb’s Wish Equine Sanctuary started in 1998 with the rescue of a blind and starving mule named Zebediah.

Over the years of shared trials and triumphs together, Zeb taught many about the power of faith and compassion, trust and forgiveness. He, like all of our herd, has demonstrated that one does NOT need to be rideable to have value. His inspiration has continued even after his crossing at the age of 50. Since Zeb’s arrival, we have provided rescue and sanctuary for over 60 horses, donkeys, and mules coming from dire situations.
Our permanent herd has special needs that render them 'unadoptable’ in the traditional sense but with appropriate care, they ALL can have happy and healthy lives. Finding other like-minded humans who choose to serve these very special creatures helps us to find loving adoptive homes for many more.
The herd receives integrated health care; from traditional and homeopathic veterinary care to natural hoof care, Reiki energy work, chiropractic, and massage therapy. Although the need is great, our herd is small, as we never take on more horses than we can afford to give the utmost care to. Some of our special needs equines have gone on to be cherished pasture pals, some have become therapy animals, serving to show the world that to be different is just another beautiful part of being an important player in the world.
