About Us

Our Horses
We have several horses at the farm in Odessa, FL that have come to us from various places and people over the years. They are cared for and loved by Pam, our sponsors and our volunteers. Our joy is that they get to live out their lives together in a beautiful space surrounded by loving caregivers, and friends.
