Shorty
Shorty is the face of our farm, our first rescue as a non-profit. He was a stallion when we rescued him, starving and in need of help. Shorty used to be a Spanish breeding stallion in New Mexico before he ended up at a Kill Pen in Louisiana. We rescued him, rehabilitated him, and gave him the loving retirement he deserved.
Shorty peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge Fall of 2024.
