At Broken Arrow Ranch and Sanctuary, we offer more than just rescue—we provide a forever home for equines who have nowhere else to go. Once they arrive at the sanctuary, they are safe for life—never to be at risk of neglect, slaughter, or displacement again. But sanctuary is more than a place; it is a commitment that requires daily labor, immense resources, and an unwavering promise to care for each individual’s needs for the rest of their lives.

Providing sanctuary for over 60 equines means feeding 54,000 pounds of hay each month, ensuring access to clean water year-round, repairing and maintaining miles of fencing, and offering routine and emergency veterinary care. It means standing in the snow to break ice from troughs, sweating in the summer sun to repair shelters, and hauling feed through wind and rain. The cost of care is significant—$100 per month to feed just one horse—and that doesn’t include medical care, farrier work, or the hands-on time it takes to ensure every horse receives the attention they need. Sanctuary is built on raw materials, labor, and love.

But at Broken Arrow Ranch, care goes deeper than physical needs. We honor each horse’s individual journey—meeting them where they are emotionally, cognitively, socially, and energetically. Some arrive fearful, unable to make eye contact, too shut down to interact. We do not demand trust, nor do we see them through the lens of their past traumas or human-caused behaviors. Instead, we hold space. We remain present and predictable, allowing them to make choices, to engage when they are ready. We see them as teachers, as holders of nature’s wisdom. Their journeys to the sanctuary reflect many of the struggles humans face—loss, resilience, healing, and the search for belonging. They offer profound lessons in adaptability, strength, and community, and we are committed to sharing their message with the world.
