Brooks & Family Equine Retirement

Directions Website

Brooks & Family Equine Retirement This is horse Hospice, so it's the last home your horse will have. Your horse will also have a purpose. We are a tax-exempt nonprofit community.

At Brooks & Family Equine Retirement we provide a slice of horse heaven for your equine family member's golden years: 40+ acres of rolling green hills to share with a select group of up to 10 horses. Your horse will get excellent care, but without life-extending measures that leave her suffering. Horses at BFER must be gentle and well-behaved because they will provide touch therapy for humans in need, including older adults and traumatized Veterans. Loved ones can visit their horses or human families in this peaceful outdoor environment, rather than in stuffy barns/nursing homes.

With just a few months left of 2026, it’s getting closer to 2027. We want to help you get excited for the new year by creating our first Brooks & Family Equine Retirement calendar!

Calendars are for sale for just $20 - all proceeds will go directly to BFER to help with the care of horses and supply needed items for our community that we serve. Each month will showcase at least one of our 9 horses plus our 2 kitties! If you’d like to purchase a calendar for a friend, a loved one, or yourself, contact us by messaging us directly or email us at [email protected]!

Man…Yesterday’s weather was so nice, we had to jump into the field and make some videos! Stay up to date with our social media and website to catch up with BFER and see what we’re all about. The herd was out and about enjoying the cooler temps with the clear skies. If you don’t us on Instagram, be sure to do so to stay up to date!

And a very loud thank you to everyone who has supported our mission over the past year! We are so amazed by how the community has shown up for us and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. 🐴
