These Older or handicapped Horses will live with Love This Horse until they cross the rainbow bridge or, in the case of the younger ones, until they have recovered from the abuse they suffered and are receptive to training.
We need sponsors for our sanctuary horses.
To cover the feed, farrier care, and vet care for our sanitary horses, we need a full sponsorship for $150 a month. Partial sponsorships of any amount would also make a huge. Please consider sponsoring.

Update ~ Freedom has been adopted!
Freedom came to LTH as a severely abused yearling. He has been used as a tripping practice horse at illegal rodeos. He has been with us since August 2017. At first, he would try to jump out of his pen, just at the sight of a human, now he tolerates being touched. We are hoping that in time, he will be able to overcome his abuse and will fully trust humans again. He was born in 2016. Freedom came to us from another rescue that shut down.

Amal going blind from cataracts. Amal came to us from Animal Control where she had been relinquished as a "dangerous" horse that had attacked her human handlers. Fortunately, Lt. Cirar, at Lancaster Animal Control agreed with us that she deserved a second chance to avoid euthanasia. Amal has shown herself to be a very sweet mare. We had hoped that we could fundraise in order for Amal to have surgery to restore her eye sight at UC Davis. Unfortunately, we could not raise the necessary funds. She is a well trained riding horse.

Update: Mira has been adopted!
Mira came to LTH from an owner relinquishment. Initially, she had been purchased from Kauffman Killpen in Texas, in 2016, by a well meaning lady who is an Arabian horse lover. Unfortunately, Mira was absolutely terrified of humans. The lady signed Mira over to a young trainer who worked with Mira for about six months before relinquishing her to LTH. We have worked with Mira on the ground and also tried to start her under saddle. But, she needs more time. She still is very reactive and scared. We did a DNA test with the Arabian Horse Association, but it turns out that Mira is not registered. |

Suzie is the only one of our sanctuary horses who has a partial sponsor. Suzie is blind on her left side from moon blindness. She is a pony sized half-Arabian former broodmare. When she came to us, in November 2016, she was not halter broke. To this day, she has to be sedated for farrier work.

Al-Amin even though he is only about 8 years old, he was so traumatized that he is still in sanctuary. We are hoping that he will be one of our horses that, once recovered from his trauma, will become a nice riding horse. We submitted a DNA test to the Arabian Horse Association, but Al-Amin is not registered.

Update: Jett has been adopted!
Jett came from animal control, his owner had committed suicide. Even though he is broke to ride, he needed time to decompress. Additionally, he was a stallion for his first 10 years of his life and needs time to get those stallion hormones out of his system. Jett is one of the horses that we are hoping to eventually turn into a good riding horse.

Dreamy had been severely abused and starved. She was auctioned off at Lancaster Auction while she was bred and super skinny. She was purchased by a well meaning lady who was hoping to rehabilitate Dreamy. However, Dreamy proved to be too much for her to handle. Dreamy lost her foal. She has gained a lot of weight and is enjoying live in the mare pasture for now. She is one of the the younger horses that we hope can be rehabilitated.

This is Chica, she is a well broke little mare, but when we started working with her under saddle, she was lame after one session. Dr. Marteney, our vet, came and took x-rays and did a nerve block, then diagnosed her with side bone, which is similar to ring bone. Eventually, once the bone fuses, she will be sound again. The photo collage on the right shows how skinny Chica was when she came to us in July 2018 from another rescue that shut down.

Jolene is sweet on the ground. However, under saddle she presents "off". We have had her evaluated by a couple of vets and also a chiropractor to find the underlying reason why she moves "off", but have not found any answers. Jolene came to us from another rescue that shut down.

Amonique was euthanized in early 2020, she was over 30 years old and was having kidney failure. AHR*441420 - We got Amonique from Mike's Auction where she was dropped off after she was injured during the 4th of July 2018 holiday. Sadly, she had been adopted out by another rescue and even though we contacted the rescue about their horse, the rescue never responded back to us.

Lizzy is one of our resident QH (affirmative action horse) - she was one of our first rescue horses. Unfortunately, she was trained as a Charro dancing horse and whenever she gets nervous, she starts dancing. In January 2019, she had to have colic surgery to remove a large stone out of her intestine, but she is doing well and is recovering.
