Emerson an American Quarter Horse that was born in 1989 he served many years teaching equitation to kids and adults at a local riding club. When his age and arthritis made him unable to work, he was slated to be sent to auction. There he would have been vulnerable to being shipped off for slaughter, but luckily he came under Sunrise’s radar before that could happen. He spent his final years happy and well-deserved retirement along with his buddy Roscoe where they both were fostered by the Clif Family at their beautiful Clif Family Ranch in Angwin, California.

GG was a Quarter Horse cross that was born in 1996. The letters in her name stand for “Good Girl,” and that only begins to describe this sweet, mild-mannered mare. She spent some of her career at a children’s camp in Santa Rosa, where she taught kids their first lessons in groundwork, and patiently allowed them to groom her. There she lived with a young woman who loved her dearly, but her foster family, who ran the camp, then lost their land. In urgent need of a new home, GG came to Sunrise where she quickly made fast friends with Dusty Rose. Affectionate, gentle, and willing, GG was a favorite with many of our volunteers
