We want to challenge the stigma that rescue horses are dangerous or unredeemable by proving that these horses can be capable and willing equine partners.

Many of the horses at Enchantment Equitreks have come from a rescue situation, not only with malnourished bodies but broken spirits. Our ranch horses have been through a training program that utilizes a natural training method, a philosophy of working with horses based on the horse’s natural instincts and methods of communication, with the understanding that horses learn from pressure and the release of pressure. It concentrates on slowly rebuilding the horse physically and mentally through a relationship built on trust, respect, and understanding. Such a method creates healthy and happy horses who love their job.

During your stay, we will visit some of the rescues, like Walkin N Circles Ranch and The Horse Shelter, that we have worked with to build our herd and talk with some of the trainers about their methods and training philosophies. Our goal is to help educate the equine community about rescue horses.

If you are interested in adopting a horse or any type of pet adoption, here are a series of articles from Homeoanimal that cover topics like the benefits of adopting an animal, myths that are all-too-often associated with adoption, considerations one should take before and during the adoption process, and tips for taking care of a new pet. These blogs are a wealth of information and can be accessed at  homeoanimal.com .

Meet the newest member of our herd, our sweet and spicy Eva. She came to WNCR malnourished with a deep mistrust of people, making her difficult to rehabilitate. It was her bond with a volunteer, Mary Ann, that set her on a path to recovery. After adopting Eva, Mary Ann sent her to JT Jones, a very talented local trainer. After a few months it was obvious to both owner and trainer that this opinionated mare needed a job. We worked with JT and Eva to make a smooth transition into our team. We believe her curious nature, smooth gate, and charming looks will make her a client favorite.
