Hey everyone, our friend Lori at New Hope Rescue is, again, fighting the good fight to help save a baby calf. Please consider donating to help out this little one who didn't deserve to start life this way. Let's give her a chance and show her that humans are capable of love and support. Thank you

We must stop normalizing things that are wrong

*mares are thin when they are feeding babies

*tack that doesn't fit but it's my favorite saddle

*horses in shoes the wrong shape with broken back angles

*you can't keep weight on an old horse

*this deeply sloppy 20 x 15 area is the only pasture I have

*4 out of 10 horses were lame at yesterday's show

*extreme sunbleaching just happens

*Those long toes make her gait better

*that eye waters all the time but it doesn't bother him

*extremely skinny horses in the 4th of July parade

*a lot of horses are lazy when they eat and drop their feed

*bridling a horse by slamming the bit at the mouth and wrestling the head down out of the sky

Some are said and done out of ignorance.

Some are said and done out of tradition.

Some are said and done out of a lack of caring.

But if we are people who love horses, we have to train ourselves to know better and not see any of these as normal.

We must learn how we can do better because what is labeled as normal often is not actually what is Right

Hey everyone, can you believe it's November already?! We've been busy this fall on the sanctuary getting the herd ready for winter. It takes alot of prep to get their barn and stalls ready to ensure they have protection from the weather, and we've been stocking up on hay to get us through. It's a labor of love and doesn't come without some significant costs.
We could always use support and were thinking that with the holidays approaching, we'd like to ask you to consider giving gifts that give back. You can support us by visiting our printify pop up store for all things Lilifield Sanctuary logowear and home goods. Our "merch" make great gifts and will help get the word out about the great work we're doing here on the sanctuary. All proceeds go directly to the care and feeding of the Lilifield herd. Thanks for following us and thanks for your support! Here's the link to our printify shop.

Please take a moment to read and sign this petition!

This is inhumane to the horses and also dangerous for ecological balance. (200 signatures on petition)

Sunday was a great day to take a little break from farm life and head out for a little recreation with our friends from Familiar Hill Farms & Sanctuary. Beautiful day on the South Anna. The water was a bit low which made for a bumpy ride, but still a great day!

Hey everyone, we finally have our Logo Merchandise Store open! Click on the below link and you'll find T-shirts, hoodies, hats, tumblers, and more. If there's something you want but can't find, let us know, and we'll work on adding it.

Your purchases directly support the care of our equine herd. The costs of maintaining our sanctuary are substantial, and until now, we have been self-funded. So, we're hoping to do a little fund raising to offset some costs.

Every bit of support is invaluable and put to great use. Each item sold contributes to purchasing about a bale of hay, which could feed our herd for one day! Or help cover other significant expenses such as supplements, grain, barn supplies, bedding, and most importantly, routine hoof, dental and veterinarian care. We are dedicated to excellent caretaking and providing a quality life for our herd, but in order to sustain that we need a little help.

Make a statement and champion our cause by sporting one of our logo tees, hoodies, or hats!

Your support is invaluable, and wearing our logo is a powerful way to help promote our mission!

With gratitude!

We're in a new round of grant voting! Will you help us qualify for some grant funds?! Just takes a simple vote and you could really help us by voting weekly! We have expanded our family here at Lilifield Sanctuary with the addition of Turbo and with him came some veterinary and farrier costs to get him on his path to health and well being. So grant funds could really help us out. And feel free to share! Many thanks from us!!

Keep the votes coming! Even though this cycle is ending in a couple of days, we'll stay in the race with all of our votes and take them into the next cycle. So, please keep voting...every week and we'll win one of those grants one day! Our little sanctuary is growing and so are the bills. So, your votes and support will be greatly appreciated and put to good use taking care of Willow, Freehold, Redbud, Boo Radley, Murphy and our newest charge Turbo! Thank you so much!
