Sniper
Age: Less than a year Gender: Female
Welcome Sniper!
Sniper is about 25 years old and was a champion rider in his youth!
Life took an unexpected turn when his beloved horse-mom faced health challenges, leading Sniper to seek a warm and loving retirement home where he can gracefully enjoy his golden years.
Currently, he is a bit underweight, so we’ve placed him on a specialized starvation protocol for a couple of weeks, ensuring we closely monitor his health and weight during this critical time.
Just days after his arrival, he had a visit from our fabulous farrier for a pedicure, and he was an absolute star—if only all our equine friends could take such a cue from his cooperation!
For now, Sniper is comfortably settling into our main barn as he acclimates, with hopes of joining the “big herd” when he is ready.
For just $50 a month, you can play a vital role in his rehabilitation, helping him regain his strength and vitality as he finds joy and comfort with Equine Voices!
Sponsor Sniper to help with his day to day care costs!
Join us in making a difference in Sniper’s life; your support can help him shine brightly once more!
Toby
Age: 10 years Gender: Gelding
We are thrilled to meet Toby, who will be coming to the Sanctuary in the next week.
Toby is a remarkable horse who has endured significant trauma in his life, yet he holds within him the potential for rebirth, joy and transformation. At approximately 10 years old, Toby’s journey began in a feed lot—a place that stripped him of his essence and spirit. Prior to him ending up in this horrific place, his background is unknown.
Thanks to the compassionate efforts of the White Stallion Ranch, he has found a refuge where he can start to heal. As a Belgian/Draft cross, Toby’s size makes him particularly vulnerable, and the risk of being sent to slaughter looms over him. Yet, despite his past, he now has a chance to embark on a new chapter in his life.
Toby’s eyes, often described as hollow, show an emptiness that reveals the emotional scars of his past. They speak of a longing for safety, love, and the freedom to simply be a horse. His skittishness around humans indicates the deep-seated fears that have taken root from his previous experiences. This is why our mission is vital—not just for Toby, but for all horses like him that we can help. By creating an environment where he can live freely and form intimate bonds with other horses, we aim to rekindle the magical spirit that lies dormant within him.
Toby represents hope and resilience. We envision him thriving in a space where he can rediscover trust and companionship, allowing his true personality to shine.
Wouldn’t he be a great ambassador to Equine Voices East, as we continue to spread our mission to the East Coast?
To bring this vision to life, we invite you to join us in supporting Toby’s cause. Your donations will provide the necessary resources for his care, rehabilitation, and integration into a loving community of fellow horses. Together, we can help Toby reclaim his identity and transform his sadness into joy.
Will you help us with this important endeavor? We are looking particularly for financial support with his transportation in order to ensure his safety on the East Coast. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in his life. Let’s work together to bring Toby back to life and help him discover the happiness he so richly deserves.
Malcolm
Age: 10 years Gender: Gelding
Malcolm was originally adopted by a dear friend, and long time supporter of Equine Voices.
Following his owner’s sudden passing in early 2025, he was fostered for several months at a ranch in the Tubac area, before returning with his friend Twizzle to the Sanctuary.
Malcolm and Twizzle see all the action going on around them. They together seem quite happy enjoying the days at Equine Voices.
Malcolm has an ongoing issue with his eye, that is currently being treated. It doesn’t seem to affect his vision at this point, but it’s something we keep a close eye on.
Did you know that for only $50 a month, you can sponsor a horse like Malcolm? A monthly sponsorship provides for his daily care costs.
Annabelle
Age: 15 years Gender: Female
This is the heartbreaking story of Annabelle, who was found abandoned on a woman’s property after she witnessed the offender back up his truck and trailer, unload this sweet girl into the desert, and had the audacity to wave as he drove away.
She was several hundred pounds underweight and has been placed on a starvation bowl protocol as well as daily alfalfa and free feed bermuda, she is gaining weight now and looks so much better!
She has a severely swollen back leg, likely due to an old injury that was never treated. She was seen by the vet and given several medications to treat her cellulitis. By the grace of God, there is no bone involvement. A follow up visit showed that the infection hasn’t traveled to her bones, and a lot of the swelling we are seeing is scar tissue.
After a routine follow up visit with our vet team, it was determined that due to this old injury and lack of treatment, she now suffers from Chronic Progressive Lymphedema, which indicates permanent damage to her lymph system.
Her medication and special feed alone will cost approximately $300 per month for the duration of her lifetime.
She is housed with Lucky, who she has become quite bonded to.
A $50 monthly sponsorship will go a long way in helping this sweet girl back to her best self!

Volunteer Babs Felix: “Annabelle loves to get out of her pen and take a walk to go visit the other horses: her head goes up and she almost prances when being led toward the mustang enclosure.”
Sylvia
Age: 24 years Gender: Female
Sylvia and her herd-mate were surrendered back to us after being adopted in 2012. The owners health had declined to the point that she was unable to care for them appropriately.

Gabe
Age: 21 years Gender: Gelding
Gabe was surrendered to us on June 9th of 2024, by his owner. Unfortunately, they could no longer appropriately care for him due to their own health issues.
He was significantly underweight, and will be placed on a starvation bowl protocol to assist in getting him back to a healthy weight. His teeth were horribly neglected, which contributed to his weight loss. After a good dental float and his new diet, he now has the tools to thrive.
Today, Gabe is doing well, although he and his herd are relatively shy. He still gets special treatment with extra bowls just for him! He has gained a significant amount of weight back and he looks and feels so much better!! He spends his days roaming with herd-mates, Sylvia and Archangel Michael.

Please click SPONSOR to help contribute to this sweet girl’s monthly expenses.
Volunteer Jody Rutt shared this memory of Angelique’s arrival :
I was volunteering the morning after a starving little filly was rescued from Dogpatch. She was standing in a stall in the main barn with her raggedy head hanging down, an IV band around her neck, and a huge ugly gash near her left hip and various other wounds on her body. The vet and Karen were standing outside the stall talking quietly. I figured they were discussing what to do next and maybe even if she could be saved. My eyes were blurry with tears and rage that this beautiful young creature had been so mistreated. She kept looking at the water bucket over in the corner of her stall & I instantly knew she wanted a drink but couldn’t walk to it. I asked if I could bring her a bucket of water and the vet said “Give her anything she wants!” I quickly grabbed a bucket & brought it to her. She drank that and half of a second bucket. As I stood in front of her holding that bucket I looked at her huge black wet eyes and was overwhelmed by the feeling that she wanted to live!! I named her “Bright eyes” in my head. I know she was named Angelique but she will always be “Bright eyes” to me!
Earlier this Spring I was mucking the donkey’s corral and Angelique was in corral next to It. I always said Hi to her when I’d see her but because she had become a little nippy, only staff was allowed to get near. She walked over to the fence & reached her nose towards me sniffing. I held out my fist and she nuzzled my hand softly. I just stood still and said “You remember, don’t you, Bright Eyes! I know I will never forget and will forever be thankful that Equine Voices gave you the chance to blossom into the beauty you have become!”
Volunteer Babs Felix: “Loves to nibble on ball caps and grab hats off your head.”
