Every horse at Dove Creek has a story and a purpose. Some are healing and preparing to find their new homes through adoption. Others have found their home right here, the permanent residents who serve as equine partners in our Led By Horses coaching program. And then there’s the Barnyard, our family of donkeys, minis, and friends who fill this place with personality and joy. Select a herd below to meet the animals who call Dove Creek home.
Meet the Minis & Barnyard Friends
Their playful energy and gentle presence bring joy to every visitor and remind us that healing comes in all sizes.
Our barnyard family includes mini horses, donkeys, goats, and sheep — many arriving from surrenders or seizures. These companions now serve as ambassadors in the Volunteer Program, Led By Horses sessions, and our Drive-Thru program.
Most are permanent residents, though occasionally a few become available for adoption. If so, they’ll be listed under our Horses for Adoption
page.
Why Sponsorship Matters
Every horse at Dove Creek depends on community support. A full sponsorship averages $400 per month, but shared monthly donations between $10–$150 help meet each horse’s daily needs. Sponsors receive updates, photos, and opportunities to visit their sponsored horse throughout the year.
Adopted Horses
85% of our horses have gone on to loving homes. Their stories remind us why this work matters – every horse deserves safety, care, and purpose.
