Merlin began the entire sanctuary. He is a warmblood, a Thoroughbred-Clysdale Cross. He sustained a suspensory ligament injury at age 18 and his owner refused to treat him or sell him. However, she agreed to release him to the sanctuary with agreement the would retire from riding. Merlin is now 24 years old and shows only minor symptoms of his injury from years back. He is the center of attention in both the heard and everyone who visits the sanctuary. 

Calypso and Chardonnay are two of our four mini residents here at the sanctuary. The are half brothers, sharing the same father, therefore 6 months apart with Calypso being the oldest at 13 and Chardonnay 12 right now. Calypso is a ladies man and will flirt with every human visitor he meets. Chardonnay is our shy little mini, except when it comes to his brother, then he is in charge.

Calypso (dark brown mane) is trained to pull carts and loves people more than his fellow horses. He has been involved with Make-A-Wish, school group visits, scout troup, and nursing homes. 

Thor is an Icelandic horse. He was born in Iceland but was tranported over here almost 20 years ago by his previous owner. He resides at the sanctuary with his "wife" and daughter, who are both pure Icelandics as well.  Thor is 25 years old and despite being gelded in his teens, he is one of the gentalest horses you will ever meet. He loves to be brushed by visitors due to his three layercoat (differng from the normal two layer horse coat). 

Branda and Hera are mother and daughter Icelandic horses. They were surrendered during the recession in 2014 from a lady who had over 30 horses. Her only condition was that Hera and her mother would nver be seperated. Branda is 18 years old with Hera being 11. They are both extremely docile and love interacting with people.
