We are planning our 3rd annual fundraiser
event on August 25th, 2012 from noon to 5pm. Stay Tuned!
Amazing Grace Equine
Sanctuary, Inc is a horse rescue and adoption facility located in Elkhart
Lake, Wisconsin which was founded in 2008. Our sole purpose is to offer a
safe haven for unwanted, abused or neglected horses. This sanctuary offers
safe care and refuge - to all horses who pass through our gates. Here all
their needs will be provided for - including shelter, nutrition, vet and farrier care, and most importantly -
unconditional love and attention. Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary provides
services to all surrendered horses, regardless of the previous owners
circumstances. Our facility is dedicated to the rehabilitation of these
magnificent animals, whenever possible, to their fullest physical and mental
potential. It is our goal at Amazing Grace, once overall health, well being
and soundness of a horse is accomplished, to assess them for possible
placement and adoption to the public.
Do any of you know a little girl or boy that wants a horse more than
anything? What a wonderful gift to sponsor their very "own" horse for
them!
We understand that there are many people that would like to adopt a horse
but busy schedules, obligations or perhaps a lack of horse knowledge would
prevent them from adopting a horse. Being part of Amazing Grace's
sponsorship program is a way for you to help make a difference. Many horses
we rescue require special feed, extensive farrier, dental work and medical
attention. Some horses are hard to place and will be with us for several
months if not their whole life. With the extra help, we may continue to
rescue other equines from slaughter, abuse, neglect and various other
circumstances when needed.You can sign up for sponsorship on our
Donations page.
http://www.rescuehorses.org/donate.htm, or through our PayPal
link below. You cannote on your PayPal
donation which horse you would like to sponsor, or we will pick one for you.
Thank you so much for your contributions!
We will now allow visitors to AGES - Once a month on the First Sunday
afternoon of each month. The time will be the same at 2:00 to 4:00pm. You
may come with treats to visit and meet the horses. Children under 18 must be
accompanied by a parent or adult. You can find us here.
Volunteers
are needed for various duties at the rescue. Please email or phone for
further information. We are in need of
extra hands here at A.G.E.S. You do not have to have experience around
horses...we are willing to take the time to introduce you to the world of
horse care. We always have some work that needs to be done including but
not limited to; brushing and grooming horses, physical contact and
desensitizing some of them is necessary and takes time...which we don't
have enough of! Some just want your attention and kinds words. Others
have issues being caught and haltered...those horses need more calm
contact and time to earn trust with people. Stalls need to be
cleaned/mucked. Horses need fly repellent as often as possible...the list
goes on and on. Even if you have an hour a week or an hour a month...we
can use you here! Please feel free to call or email me to set up a time
to stop by to check us out! Thank you for considering volunteering here!
AGES was honored to receive a $1,500 grant from the ASPCA late last
year for feed support for our horses. We appreciate the help we
received from this great organization. Thank you ASPCA for everything
you do for horses and shelters, including us! Click on the "Grantors"
page for more info. Did you know that ASPCA veterinarians and
behaviorists offer online advice regarding your horse's health and
daily activities? Check it out here:
