WHO WE ARE
AND
WHAT WE DO

Heart of Gold Sanctuary is cared for by myself,

Suzy Berry, and my partner, Michael Singleton.

 

My aunt put me on her horse when I was just a baby, and I've loved them ever since. I grew up riding at a fancy show barn, and as I grew older I saw many sad cases of neglect and abuse that lead me to a life long journey of opening a horse sanctuary and rehabilitation center. By early 2018 I had finally saved enough to open Heart of Gold Sanctuary in Sonoma County, California. We began on a modest five acre ranch in Sebastopol, 50 miles north of San Francisco.

 

In 2021, we moved to a much larger ranch in nearby Forestville. If we can raise the money to do so, the ultimate dream is to create a venue that supports the horse sanctuary so that we may forever give happily ever afters to all creatures in need.

 

My business selling curated vintage fashion (@daintyrascalvintage on Instagram) supports the charity and I gladly welcome support financially and in person with volunteer assistance, to help care for our  horses, and for future expansion.

Heart of Gold Sanctuary is a non-profit tax deductible organization, so we send receipts to every donor for their records. Please be sure to send us your email or current mailing address in the note of your donation so we may send you your recipt for your records as well as a personal thank you for your supprt. One of the biggest reasons horses end up in abusive situations, is the cost of care. Horses eat like, well, a horse! They need consistent farrier services and occasional visits from the vet. Some of the horses are are recovering from illnesses and trying to gain weight, so supplements are a necessary expense. Please click below to give a donation!
