Walking the fence line with Beauty’s herd—16 equines, each a living testament to resilience, transformation, and the quiet power of sanctuary. The majority of this herd—14 out of 16—came to us from kill pens. Some had already passed through auctions, their individuality overlooked. Others stood on the brink of being discarded. But now—look at them. Each one carries a story, and every step they take across this land speaks of what’s possible when care replaces fear, and connection replaces survival. They arrived in varied states. Some thin and withdrawn. Others unsure of human touch. Some had shut down, conserving themselves the only way they knew how. A few were just foals—learning the world from inside the chaos of a feedlot. Now, they live in rhythm with the land. They graze, they play, they nap in the sun. Their bodies grow stronger, their curiosity returns, and their spirit becomes visible again. We meet each one with patience and presence—offering nourishment, medical care, healthy social dynamics, and the freedom to be exactly who they are. Reclaiming their wholeness isn’t forced—it unfolds. In its own time, in its own way. And watching that journey, day after day, is a privilege. Moments like this—walking the fence line, being seen by them, witnessing each in their uniqueness—are a profound gift. It’s a quiet invitation into presence, and a reminder of what becomes possible when we slow down and choose relationship over control. This is the power of whole-istic sanctuary. Not just rescue—but reclamation. And none of it happens without you. Every bale of hay. Every fence line walked. Every spark rekindled—made possible by a community that believes these lives matter. 💛 If this herd moves something in you… If you believe in dignity for all beings… If you want to be part of something real— Then join us. 👉 Click the links in our bio to: — Become a monthly donor — Sponsor one of these incredible beings — Volunteer and walk beside them Be part of the Broken Arrow human herd.

Out here in the sage steppe of Eastern Oregon, the land grows differently. Unlike irrigated pastures that grow fast and thick with outside inputs, our rangeland is made up of native bunchgrasses—slow-growing, drought-resilient, and deeply attuned to the rhythms of this high desert. They grow in clumps, leaving room for wildflowers, wildlife, and water to move through the soil. It’s a landscape shaped by resilience. These grasses evolved alongside roaming herds of wild herbivores. They thrive when grazed briefly, then left to rest—a rhythm we hope to restore through regenerative grazing. With intentional herd movement, we can mimic nature’s pattern: nourishing the land, building soil, and supporting biodiversity. We are in the process of developing this model—not just for ourselves, but as a vision for how equine sanctuaries and operations might care for horses and land together. It requires extensive cross-fencing, a dedicated team, and a shift in how we think about stewardship. But we believe it’s possible—and necessary. Even with this system in place, our land will never feed our herds year-round. At most, it can provide 40% of their forage for a few months each summer. That’s why we feed hay year-round. At feeding time, Shasta is always first to the line, the mules close behind, trying to sneak a bite before the black mustangs—Kalie, Jupiter, and Beauty—claim their space. In winter, this one herd of 17 eats 3.5 large bales per week (1,100 lbs each). By July, when the grasses are mature and can handle light grazing, we’ll scale back to 1.5–2 bales per week—but the land will only ever supplement, not replace, their diet. Your support helps us honor this balance. • Donate toward daily feed • Sponsor a sanctuary horse • Donate hay • Share to spread the mission Thank you for standing with the wild. #BrokenArrowSanctuary #StewardshipInAction #RegenerativeGrazing #WildHorseSanctuary #HighDesertHorses #SupportTheHerd #SageSteppe #SponsorAHorse

✨ “Come be wild with me. Be awake in your skin.” –Colibri, 2 y/o mustang mare This is just one line from the message Colibri is sharing in tonight's Medicine Horse Monday:Sanctuary Session livestream. As the sun sets and she walks toward the camera—steady, sovereign, and soft—she carries a presence that speaks to something deep inside us. Each Monday evening, the sanctuary horses offer their guidance for the week ahead—living wisdom that helps us come back to our bodies, our hearts, and the rhythms of the Earth. 🌿 Through stillness, reflection, and intention, Medicine Horse Monday becomes a weekly ritual to root into presence and begin again. 🌀 1-hour livestream • Mondays 6pm PST 💗 100% of proceeds support the care of our rescued horses | $25/month 🔗 Link in bio to sign up #MedicineHorseMonday #ColibriSpeaks #HorseWisdom #BrokenArrowSanctuary #SanctuaryMessages #SomaticAwakening #WildAndWise
