Founded in 2018, Equine Paths Learning's mission is two-fold. We provide sanctuary for horses in need and help humans through equine-facilitated learning (EFL) activities. Often, these two goals work together to create the magic of the perfect rescued horse a teacher for our EFL program.
One of our first "teachers", Phantom continues to teach us daily. At 26 this retired Arabian still loves to play. Phantom has quite the list of accolades with the Arabian Horse Association.
Gibson is a JC-registered off-the-track Thoroughbred who came to us after an aftercare placement didn't work out well. We had hopes of helping him find his new career, but we learned that an improperly rehabbed race track injury would limit his performance. Gibson remains at Equine Paths and has learned the art of healing humans and teaching equine first aid.
Elle came through the auction pipeline to some very caring owners who rehabbed her properly and brought her back to good health. She came to us through a very loving owner surrender. Rather than risking this beautiful girl's reentry to the auction market, her previous owner determined that she would be best protected from risk again at our sanctuary. She is a true Black Beauty in looks and disposition.
Harley Nite Breeze, "Harley," is a retired Barrel Racer, but don't tell him he is over 25! He has been adopted a few times and is the perfect example of why all at-risk horses need a lifetime "safety net." We are happy to provide that for him.
Paris is a 25 year old Egyptian Arabian mare. She did a few shows, but lived most of her life as a brood mare, thus the swayed back. Paris still prances around our fields as though she knows how beautiful she is.
Apache is our "faith" horse. We completely stepped out on a limb, against all advice and agreed to accept a completely blind Appaloosa two years ago. He is a favorite of everyone! Come visit and take a dance with Apache!
In February, 2022, Gibson received a Monthly Grant from After the Finish Line! We appreciate this non-profit organization and all that they do to help off Track Thoroughbreds!
Gibson is a 6 year old Thoroughbred who came to us in need of rest, recovery, lots of groceries, medical attention, farrier attention, and dental attention. We are so blessed to have supporters who share their blessings with us.
