Horse Sanctuary offers more than 250 exquisite photos of horses at 13 facilities listed here for the interest of readers who may donate to one or more them and wonder what they look like:
The Blackburn Correctional Complex training center operated by the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation in Lexington, Kentucky; the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary in Hot Springs, South Dakota; the Catskill Animal Sanctuary, in Saugerties, New York; the Equine Sanctuary, in Ojai, California; Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary, in Green Valley, Arizona; Front Range Equine Rescue, in Larkspur, Colorado; the Horse Harbor Foundation, in Poulsbo, Washington; the Last Chance Corral in Athens, Ohio; Lope Texas, in Cedar Creek, Texas; Lucky Horse Equine Rescue, in Bolton, Massachusetts; Nokota Horse Conservancy, in Linton, North Dakota; Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue, in Tehachapi, California; and Save Your Ass Long Ear Rescue, in South Acworth, New Hampshire.
