https://www.redwingshorsesanctuary.org/ Redwings Horse Sanctuary – Where Hope Runs Free Since 1991

Founded in 1991, Redwings Horse Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ending the cycle of abuse, neglect, and slaughter of horses, ponies, donkeys, mules, and burros. What began as a small rescue effort in Carmel, California, has grown into a nationally recognized sanctuary where more than 80 equines live in safety, health, and peace. At Redwings, every horse has a story — some rescued from neglect, others saved from the slaughter pipeline, and many who simply needed a place to heal and be loved. Our mission is not only to rescue and rehabilitate but also to educate and inspire compassion through community outreach and educational programs that help prevent future suffering. Redwings is proud to be accredited by GFAS (Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries), CARMA (California Retirement Management Account), and TAA (Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance), and to collaborate with organizations committed to responsible equine welfare. Many of our residents will live out their days at the sanctuary, while others are carefully prepared for adoption into loving, permanent homes. Each successful adoption opens space for another horse in need — giving even more equines the chance to find safety, care, and love. Today, Redwings continues to stand as a symbol of hope, healing, and second chances — where every horse’s journey reminds us that love and compassion can change everything.

Everyone, meet Bear 🐻 🤎

23 years young. Professional floof. Shy guy, but VERY chatty when you get to know him. And quite possibly one of the sweetest little old minis you’ll ever meet 🥹

Meet Handsome 🐴❤️

When we first met him, Handsome was severely underweight, living in heartbreaking conditions, and only days away from being sent to auction.

Today, he’s happy, healthy, and maybe just a litttttle chonky 😂 Most importantly, he’s finally safe, loved, and getting the life he deserved all along.

Every horse here has a story & this was Handsome’s 🫶🏻

From Warwick Schiller 🐴’s horsemanship demonstration and meet & greet to a delicious dinner, exciting auctions, and an evening surrounded by our amazing supporters, our 35th Anniversary Benefit Gala was truly one for the books!

And the excitement didn’t stop there! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our bidders during our Fund-A-Need paddle raise, Redwings is getting a BRAND NEW Kubota RTV from Coast Equipment 🎉 We couldn’t be more grateful!

While we’re still tallying up the final fundraising numbers, we can already say that the evening was a tremendous success!
