I am truly blessed to watch SAHR grow! They have not only helped rehab OTTBs but also taken in some pretty serious rescue cases. Lindsey does an amazing job! Truly put the animals first in their care. She will work 12 hours a day at the ranch with kids and still go to work. I don't know how she does it! However, it is humbling to watch and man do these horses love her. The second she pulls up they all are waiting for her attention. You can tell these animals are truly loved. The awesome therapy program they run for foster kids and at risk youth is icing on the cake. I love SAHR!
All the reviews above are so correct about how they are and hold a true 5 star standard. For whatever paperwork someone said is missing, I personally looked it all up. They had been behind on one simple form. Everything is fixed and in good standing. They are also double registered in two states and a registered Charity. I do my homework before I donate and they are VERY transparent.

Do not donate until her issue is corrected.
Lindsey (founder) is truly an amazing person with a great heart. The amount of time she puts into this rescue is truly amazing and shows that this is her passion in life, to help horses. Her attitude no matter how tired and how much is going on is always cheerful. Each and every horse or animal is so content at Serenity Acres. I am proud to be apart of this team as a board member. I can't wait to see what this organization does when they get more known. Even as a small rescue they do SO many great things.
Lindsey's big heart and dedication to the animals on the ranch is what really sets her apart as a rescue leader. She is eager to create relationships with other rescues in the area because she knows when everyone gets along, more lives will be saved.
I got my boy from here. Lindsey is an amazing horse woman and is always willing to help. Even now she is still willing to answer even my wildest questions or point me in the direction of someone who will have my answer. The facility is gorgeous and I wish I lived in closer in San Diego to her. Serenity Acres is a rescue I will always support. The horses are well taken crazy of and gorgeous and Lindsey does what she can to make sure everyone gets to the home they belong too! I'm hoping I'll get a chance to volunteer more out there once I graduate from college and move back to SD!
This rescue has already done HUGE things, and they are just getting started. I absolutely love visiting, and being able to meet and love on the horses. I'm always excited when new ones come in. Lindsey and Serenity Acres are doing amazing things for horses that poured their hearts out for their owners, trainers, and riders, and then we're just tossed aside. She has given them new life, and spoiled them with love. I have visited and worked with MANY rescues, and nothing compares to the level of love, care, and responsible rescuing that Serenity Acres does!
