Christ Redeemed Equine Sanctuary
About Christ Redeemed Equine Sanctuary
We are small but we are mighty! Christ Redeemed Equine Sanctuary was officially founded in 2021 after the successful rehabilitation of a surprise half-draft cross rescue in 2019. Merlin, the flea bit gray horse pictured above, will forever be the sanctuary mascot and picture of hope for every new rescue to follow.
​
With a small group of mighty partners, and an even smaller operation, we are finding homes for some of the least likely candidates and using these amazing and inspiring stories to encourage and share the deep and complete love that God has for all of His people and creation.
Our Work
The relationship between human and horse is a naturally impossible one - predator and prey. The effort to bridge the gap in these relationships has yielded countless training methods, great successes, and also great misunderstandings.
At Christ Redeemed Equine Sanctuary, we rehabilitate the horses that have been misunderstood behaviorally, neglected and/or have been physically and emotionally damaged. What makes us unique is our belief in, and anchor to, the promises of God through Jesus. We have seen incredible things; from miraculous healings of visual cancers by praying and laying on of hands, to restoration of mind and soul through simply operating in the fruit of His spirit to extend patience and grow trust in the same way that He does with us.
​
There is no wound or regrettable thing that disqualifies even the least of these from perfect love and every opportunity to just simply rest in it.
Rehabilitation
Each new addition to Christ Redeemed Equine Sanctuary has his or her own specific challenges. Our approach begins in rest and reset. Northing is asked of a new addition until they are rested in their environment, medically stable and nutritionally supplemented. We start with simple connection and rely on the Holy Spirit to help us determine the training style and specific needs each horse will require based on our connection time, learning who they are. One size does not fit all in the world of rescue!
Ministry
If you are reading this, it is a pretty good guess that you have a heart for seeing suffering end. What is it that posses us to take in an animal that has warts on her nose, every rib showing and something really questionable draining from her nose? Especially with the knowledge that a vet bill will be part of the deal and we might as well just write a blank check-- why on earth would we do that?
​
Love.
​
The warts and the ick don't matter anymore when you see the beauty in their eyes because you see something that the world does not. Oh how rewarding it is when the beauty that you saw deep inside is glowing for all the world to see. Because you loved.
​
God sees you this same way. All the things that you think are so wrong with you and nothing to Him. He just loves you and He sees you.
​
These horses all tell a unique story like this one that declares the glory of God and His love toward you. Sharing these truths about His heart is our ministry.
​
Healing
True healing is spiritual. Horses are at the sanctuary as long as they need to be to fully heal for the home that we believe God has already started to line up for the right timing.
​
These healing stories are often healing for the new owners as also, bringing a deeper connection that overflows from a well of understanding of one another's struggle. Horses are highly intuitive and deeply emotional and it is our privilege to be able to help start a restored horse companion and a loving family on a journey of healing together as they connect and become part of the family.
