Sanctuary Horses: These horses will have sanctuary at Dreamchaser for the rest of their lives, to ensure they are never bred again. These horses have spent their lives being bred and have never been exposed to anything else. Some we are able to eventually ride, others are not at all suited to riding or physically able to be ridden.

Dusty arrived with Rush on February 8, 2004. Dusty was 6 years old and had already had three foals. She was heavily pregnant, and delivered a healthy colt on May 16, 2004. She also retained her placenta and required much veterinary care. Her colt was adopted and lives about 35 miles south of us. Dusty is recently under saddle and is doing well. It took her and Rush almost a year to be comfortable with having their legs touched and their feet picked up. Now it is a distant memory, and their new life begins – a life of enjoying the trails and of never being locked in a straight stall again. She will also eventually be used in our programs for ‘city kids’.
