(214)

Through the years we began concentrating mainly to help horses with significant medical and emotional issues. This means obtaining any veterinary, farrier or chiropractic care needed to help provide them with a comfortable life, one that they might not otherwise receive. Our Sanctuary Program provides each individual horse with specific diets consisting of specialized supplements and medications for the remainder of its natural life. We do still help and provide sanctuary to Percheron and other draft breed horses from abuse, neglect, abandonment, slaughter, or victims of the economy. We refurbish all of their medical and nutritional needs, as well as try to help the them overcome emotional issues. If the horse is healthy enough, we then retrain them for new careers and provide a thorough screening process to find the horse(s) safe, loving, forever homes.

🌈🐴 In Loving Memory of Our Sweet Dixie 🐴🌈
💔 Another precious soul has gained her angel wings.
Sometime during the night, our sweet little mini girl, Dixie, quietly made her journey across the Rainbow Bridge to Heaven.
Although our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that her beloved pasture mate, Chachi, was waiting to welcome her home. ❤️
Dixie was such a precious little girl, full of love, sweetness, and a personality that could melt anyone's heart. She brought so much happiness to all of us, and her sweet little presence will be deeply missed.
We can only imagine the beautiful reunion between Dixie and Chachi, together once again, running through Heaven's endless green pastures. 🌿🐴
Run free, sweet Dixie. No more aging, no more aches, just sunshine, green grass, and your best friend by your side.
You were loved beyond words and will be missed more than you could ever know. 💜
Until we meet again, sweet girl. 🌈🕊️
With love from all of us at Iron Gait Percherons Draft Horse Sanctuary. ❤️

In Loving Memory of Copper 🤍
On June 23, 2011, Copper arrived at Iron Gait Percherons Draft Horse Sanctuary in heartbreaking condition. With a body score of only 1.5 and struggling with occasional seizures, his future was uncertain.
From the moment he stepped onto our sanctuary, he was no longer alone.
For the next 15 years, Copper knew only love, patience, gentle hands, full bellies, and the promise that he would never be forgotten again. Every special need was met with compassion, not obligation. He wasn't just another rescue—he was family.
Today, with heavy hearts, we helped our sweet boy cross the Rainbow Bridge. Though our hearts ache, we find comfort knowing his body is whole again, his pain is gone, and he is running free with all of our beloved sanctuary herd who went before him.
Run free, sweet Copper.
May your mane dance in the wind, your hooves thunder across Heaven's green pastures, and your spirit forever remind us why we opened our hearts in the first place.
You will be forever loved, forever missed, and forever a part of Iron Gait.
Until we meet again... run free with our herd in Heaven. ♥️🐴

Goodbye, Sweet Olive 💜
Today we said goodbye to the little girl who started it all.
Olive was my very first donkey, and because of her, so many others would one day find love, safety, and a forever home. She carried a piece of my heart from the very beginning.
Her coffin bone had rotated to the point that the pain became more than she could bear. We kept her comfortable for as long as we could, but the greatest act of love was to let her go with dignity and peace.
Run free now, sweet girl. Your pain is gone, your steps are light again, and I know Junior is waiting just beyond the Rainbow Bridge to welcome you home.
Thank you for every bray, every nuzzle, and every precious memory. You will forever be part of the foundation of Iron Gait and forever part of my heart.
Until we meet again... run free, beautiful Olive.
You were deeply loved, and you always will be. 🌈🫏💜
