 At Winsome Acres, we embrace the profound connection between humans and horses. Through permanent refuge, adoption services, horse therapy and companionship services, we provide opportunities for individuals to experience the healing, joy, and personal growth that comes from engaging with these remarkable animals.

 Every horse on our ranch has been rehabilitated and nurtured back to health, and they now serve as companions, teachers, and healers. Our peaceful setting reflects our commitment to intentional living and the healing power of connection—with both animals and the natural world.

For many of our horses, Winsome Acres is a stepping stone to their forever homes. We carefully match each horse with adopters who understand their needs and are committed to providing a loving, permanent environment. Seeing our horses thrive in their new homes is the ultimate reward, a testament to the resilience of these incredible animals.

Each horse that comes to Winsome Acres is evaluated and given personalized care, ensuring they are healthy, well-adjusted, and ready for their new home.

How Our Adoption Process Works:

1.  Application: Prospective adopters complete an adoption application to help us understand their experience and expectations.

2. Matchmaking: Based on the application, we carefully match each adopter with a horse suited to their skills, environment, and goals.

3. Onboarding: We provide adopters with support and resources to ensure a successful transition, including training recommendations and ongoing guidance.

When you adopt from Winsome Acres, you’re not only giving a horse a new lease on life, but you’re also helping to create space for us to rescue more equines in need.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to one of our incredible rescue horses, send us a message through our messaging function to learn more about the adoption process or schedule a visit to meet our horses.

Every horse that arrives at Winsome Acres carries a story. Some have been rescued from neglectful situations, others from auctions where their futures were uncertain. At our sanctuary, these once-forgotten souls are welcomed with open hearts and the promise of a new beginning.

When a horse arrives at Winsome Acres, they are often scared, malnourished, or injured—both physically and emotionally. Our first step is to provide them with the care they desperately need:

• Medical Attention: Every horse receives thorough veterinary care to address their health concerns.

• Nutrition and Rehabilitation: We work to restore their strength through proper feeding, supplements, and gentle exercise.

• Love and Trust: With time and patience, our team helps each horse overcome their fears and rediscover their trust in humans.

Not every horse is ready to leave Winsome Acres, and that’s okay. For those who need lifelong care, our sanctuary becomes their forever home. They roam our peaceful pastures, bask in the sun, and form bonds with other horses and the humans who care for them.

 At Winsome Acres, we provide equine-assisted therapy tailored to individuals seeking emotional support, personal growth, or stress relief. Guided by skilled facilitators, participants engage with our rescue horses—each with their own inspiring story of resilience.

Through these sessions, participants can:

• Build confidence and resilience.
• Develop emotional awareness and communication skills.
• Find relief from anxiety, stress, or grief in a peaceful, nonjudgmental environment.

These sessions are designed for people of all ages and abilities, from children to adults navigating life’s challenges.

For those who want to simply enjoy the presence of horses, our ranch offers unique companionship experiences. In these sessions, visitors can:

• Groom, feed, and spend time bonding with our horses.
• Learn about horse care and their unique behaviors.
• Relax in the calming ambiance of our ranch, surrounded by nature and the gentle company of our herd.

Perfect for individuals, families, or groups, these experiences offer a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature.
