Raven was abandoned by her owner with a neighbor in Napa. She lived with the neighbor for 2 years, alone in a small pen most of the time. The neighbor realized that the owner was not returning and it was not sustainable to keep her.
Roxy came to us in 2015 after being diagnosed with narcolepsy. She was a lesson horse, but had become increasingly unsafe to be ridden due to her condition. Lesson programs typically cannot afford to keep horses that can't be ridden, a system that we hope will be changed one day to be more humane.
Far Son is an Arabian gelding who was owned by the same family for most of his life until they experienced some severe health challenges. At a loss with how to care for their two aging horses, Far Son, and Sonata, they worked with Sunrise for an extended period until an appropriate foster home opened so that the horses could stay together.
Sunrise Horse Rescue is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization, # 42-1746834
