Gazor happily lived in Napa for years, but when his owner died, there was no one to care for him and his pasture-mate Hayleigh. Wanting to ensure that the horses were well cared for, the late owner’s family called Sunrise Horse Rescue for help. We were able to support Gazor and Hayleigh in their pasture for some time with the help of volunteers, but when a winter storm was forecasted, there was no adequate shelter to protect them. We moved the two to a foster home for safety during the storm, and they soon came to our facility and became a part of the herd.

Gazor will be remembered for his bright spirit and energy, as well as for his self-appointed role as the Protector of the Herd.

Tex was a 26 year old Quarter Horse gelding. He was a ranch, calf roping and rodeo horse. Tex has seen it all. After a lifetime of service to his owners he needed a quiet place for his retirement which led him to Sunrise. He was a well trained and sweet-natured guy. Tex adjusting to retired life enjoyed walks around the property and lots of love from the volunteers.

Sweet and responsive Daphne clearly came from a well-trained background. She arrived at Sunrise Horse Rescue as a severe starvation case, but then had absolutely no trouble keeping the weight on.
