Mission: Older and managably disabled horses have many good years left and deserve a better life than slaughter or neglect. Due to their age and infirmity they are often cheap enough to be a child''s FIRST horse - thus The Golden Carrot will teach children how to make that cherished first horse last longer and be more useful. The horses, with miles of experience and seasoning, are delighted with children and often bond with them, teaching children that animals are people too and deserving of respect and consideration. These attitudes will last for the child''s lifetime and contribute to the care and life quality of all animals in the future. When our facility is full, we help to place older or disabled horses in suitable homes.

I called Golden Carrot near tears trying to find a sanctuary for my rescue horse. The owner shamed me and yelled at me and didn't even let me speak. She continued to shame me in an email response. It got nasty from there. Very bad experience. beware.

It is an unfortunate fact that there are almost no equine sanctuaries where the horses are truly safe forever. The Golden Carrot is literally the only sanctuary that I feel I can recommend without reservation. Casey knows exactly the number of horses she can manage and knows how to say no when she has to. She does the vast majority of the work herself, making sure every horse comes in to get fed individually and get whatever specific feed they need. The feet are done, the feed is plentiful and the vet is always there providing the best of senior horse care. I just wish more of these horses' former owners and riders would remember their care is not free, and donate!

I have been working with Casey for about five years now and am so impressed with the incredibly hard work put into her organization with very limited funds and resources. Casey has taken on the job of helping old and disabled horses that really no one wants. People dump them on her for so many reasons (and some of the reasons make no sense) but Casey puts aside the sometimes head scratchng human factor and does what she can for the horse. I am proud to be associated with her. It is difficult for Casey as she bonds with all of her charges but knows that often her time is limited with them. All of Casey's horses at least know some love and have dignity at the end of their lives...whether just a few weeks, months or years that are spent at The Golden Carrot.
