Saint came to Healing Hearts Animal Rescue after his longtime owner passed away. Concerned neighbors noticed that Saint and another horse were no longer receiving the care they needed and contacted local authorities. Thanks to their intervention, Healing Hearts brought both horses to safety and provided them with the care and attention they deserved.
While much of Saint’s early history remains a mystery, it is clear he received extensive training at some point in his life. His manners, willingness, and athletic ability reflect a horse with a solid foundation, ready to enjoy a new chapter with the right person.
Saint is a strikingly handsome horse with an unmistakable presence. Wherever he goes, he captures attention – not only because of his good looks but because of his engaging personality. Playful, curious, and full of character, Saint loves being part of whatever is happening around him. He has a mischievous streak that keeps volunteers smiling and is always eager to investigate, interact, and find ways to get involved. Saint is not a horse who blends into the background; he enjoys being front and center and thrives on spending time with people.
Saint has all the qualities to make a wonderful riding horse and an exceptional partner. His combination of beauty, intelligence, and outgoing personality makes him a horse anyone would be proud to call family. He is looking for a forever home where he can keep learning, stay active, and build a lasting bond with someone who appreciates his playful spirit and larger-than-life personality.

Jack’s journey is a remarkable story of resilience, patience, and second chances. He came to Healing Hearts Animal Rescue from a severe neglect situation, arriving thin, weak, and in desperate need of care. He was little more than a bag of bones, and on his very first night at the rescue, his hunger caused him to eat too quickly, resulting in a choking episode that required immediate veterinary intervention. For a time, his future was uncertain as he battled multiple health challenges, but with dedicated veterinary care, proper nutrition, and the unwavering commitment of the Healing Hearts team, Jack slowly began to recover.
As his health improved, so did his spirit. Although he was understandably cautious and distrustful of people at first, a few patient volunteers earned his confidence and became his closest friends. Over time, Jack discovered that people could be kind, and today he welcomes gentle, respectful handling from those willing to approach him with patience.
Now, healthy, strong, with a shiny coat and looking beautiful, Jack has become a favorite among volunteers. He enjoys keeping both his mind and body active and thrives on learning new things. Rather than standing idly in his stall, Jack loves working through obstacle courses, stepping over poles, weaving around barrels and tackling new challenges with curiosity and enthusiasm. Watching his confidence grow with each accomplishment has been one of the greatest rewards of his rehabilitation.
Jack’s story is proof that with patience, compassion, and a second chance, remarkable transformations are possible. He is ready to find a forever home where he can continue to enjoy life with someone who sees the incredible horse he has become.

Name: Grace
Status: Adoptable
Breed: Dutch Harness Horse
Birth Year: 2007
Height: 16 H
Color: Bay
Sex: Mare
Rideable: Companion only
Medical needs: Grace has shoes on her front feet.
Grace came to Healing Hearts Animal Rescue with her longtime friend, Prestige – both Dutch Harness Horses. For most of their lives, the pair worked side by side as driving horses, forming a partnership built on years of trust and teamwork. When age and physical limitations made it impossible to continue their careers, they found their way to a safe haven at Healing Hearts. There they could begin the next chapter of their lives.
Not long after arriving, Grace and her companion were adopted to serve as therapy horses. Grace excelled in her new role sharing her gentle nature with those she met. Over time, however, the structured routine of therapy work no longer suited her personality, and she happily returned to Healing Hearts.
Today, Grace is thriving. Turned out in a large pasture with her equine friends, she loves to run, play, and show off her beautiful movement. Seeing her trot across the pasture with her tail held high is a reminder that she still has plenty of life and joy to share.
Grace has never lost her love for people. She is affectionate, enjoys attention, and is happy to spend time with volunteers and visitors. Grace is happiest when she is included in whatever is happening,
Although she may be capable of some light riding, Grace is best suited as a companion horse. She is looking for a forever home where she will be cherished for the beautiful, loving mare she is and where she can enjoy her retirement surrounded by kindness, companionship, and plenty of attention. This is a magnificent, impressive horse.
