Training program participants work together with trainer to evaluate horses for safety and soundness, and to improve the overall health and condition of rehabilitated horses. This helps HPS to match the horses with the appropriate person and place them in new homes. Participants must have current HPS membership, know how to ride, be familiar with the HPS horses and their personalities, and volunteer 12-14 hours per month (on the feed schedule) at the sanctuary.

May Officer's Meeting: Sunday, May 19th, 2-4pm at the sanctuary All HPS members are welcome to attend. Please email Joan Benson at the sanctuary.

Construction of Second Barn!

We are so proud of our new barns. After getting by with a 100-plus year old barn and several out buildings since our beginning in 1991, we are eternally grateful to all that made this dream possible. The second barn houses 25 horses and we were able to demolish the 100-year-old barn that was too dilapidated to repair again. The electricity had finally gone out and a terrible windstorm blew another section off of the roof of our old barn.

There have been more calls about starving horses due to the previous year's drought and the current economy. Some horses that we had placed into homes have returned and we currently have 50 residents to house and feed. The second barn is 70' by 72' and contains 26 stalls. It also has rubber mat flooring and shutters for all around. Garage doors allow the horses entry from two sides of the barn.
