Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary is a great organization and wonderful place for retired horses. We have worked with Dixie for quite some time and she is wonderful to work with and a good horsewoman. Horses under her care look great and Dixie is excellent at delivering foals when it is discovered after arrival that a rescued mare is in foal. And the love and care that Dixie gives those baby foals is unmatched. Wonderful person and organization.

Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary is a great organization that does wonderful work helping all breeds of horses. They especially help horses that need lifetime sanctuary care or special needs. Dixie has helped our organization with a few thoroughbreds that needed a safe place to go. She never hesitates if she can help and no matter how dire a situation may be, Dixie still tries to help a horse. A great lady and organization.

I am continually blown away by the care, effort, and concern shown for all of the animals here. I have personally witnessed so many horses taken from starved, mistreated, and neglected to healthy, loved, and cared for. Several of these were so bad that I'm honestly surprised they survived. Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary is making a real and very positive difference in the lives of horses ❤

Triple Me Mac, under the most dedicated leadership of Dixie Neeley, is truly a heaven on earth for abused and neglected horses. My daughter and I have watched Rodeo, Jessie, Kate, Little Ricky and many others go from near death with no glimmer in their eyes, to vibrant beings full of energy and new life. Our world would be so much better and positive with more heavens like TRIPLE ME MAC EQUINE SANCTUARY AND DIXIE NEELEY!!

I fostered 2 sweet mares from Dixie at TMMES, and when my sons medical issues got severe we had to relocate to the city. I unfortunately had to have the mares go back to the rescue, but Dixie goes above and beyond for these horses. The horses no one wants, the horses deemed unadoptable. They receive the best care available and food to there hearts content.

I know everyone at Triple Me Mac really cares for the Horses.
I love the info they post on facebook. There's often before and after pictures and they tell the stories of how awful these poor animals were treated.
I am fortunate to have an employer which matches donations to nonprofits.
I have choose Triple Me Mac and they get twice as much with the employer match.
I have the deduction set automatic payroll deductions and will continue to donate to help Dixie and all the people that do so much for these beautiful creatures.
Thanks to them, these animals can have a peaceful healthy life.

Smithson Valley High School worked with the Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary on a short film for the BexarFest 2019 competition. Dixie and Dawn are top-notch folks who care deeply about rescuing horses that would otherwise be sent to slaughter. We filmed at their location on several occasions and were impressed with their knowledge and dedication to all of the animals. This is a fantastic groups of folks who are doing important work!

We've all heard those sayings about things being bigger and better in Texas...well Triple Me Mac exemplifies that to perfection. Their only drawback is they can't do enough to satisfy the mission they've accepted. Good or great horse folks have larger hearts, greater abilities to love and care and therefore greater loss when they can't live up to their own expectations. The folks at Triple Me Mac make me proud to be a horse owner and rider for well over 50 years. Every donation to this organization is wisely utilized. They are a God-send to those animals they are able to reach. Thank you Triple Me Mac...may your efforts be fruitful and multiply.

I have not been to this rescue - yet. I hope to visit soon.
But Dixie partners on a regular basis with Linda and her rescue organization.
They have done numerous joint rescues and help each other.
They also periodically share expenses for hay, a huge need for any rescue.
I have not been able to visit here but have made donations.
Dixie is another horse lover who has shown hard work and dedication to help these horses.
I’m honored to be just a small part of her mission.

My husband and I volunteer at Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary and have seen first hand the difference they make in the lives of horses. We have seen many horses rescued from starvation and neglect turn into healthy, happy, loved animals under Dixie's care. This rescue helps so many horses in need and is a voice and champion for the voiceless.

I went out to Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary and was impressed with how well loved and cared for the horses are. Dixie really has a love for these guys and gives them a great home. I had a chance to see pictures of Harvey when he was first taken in by Dixie. He had been almost starved to death but at TMMES he was thriving and happy. He's so gentle he fell asleep in my arms ( see Pic). I'm so thankful for people like Dixie that are willing to make such a big commitment to such loving animals that so many others have forgotten about.

I recently visited and worked at Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary. I was immediately impressed with the how beautifully the horses were taken care of and how well fit and feed they were. Dixie Neeley goes out of her way to make the best quality of life for these horses so they can spend time enjoying their lives without stress or abuse. I look forward to spending more time helping and learning about sanctuary life for horses and hope to have my own sanctuary some day.

My sister, Dixie Neeley, has been a horse lover, advocate and owner since we were small children. I have never know someone that deeply and truly cares as much as she does about horses in particular, but all animals as a whole.

She has turned her love into her passion of saving horses and providing a sanctuary for abused, slaughter bound, neglected, wounded and rejected horses. She rehabilitates them and if possible adopts them out to qualified horse lovers or lets them live out the remainder of their life at the sanctuary in peace and health. She is an amazing individual doing amazing work to save animals. Her non-profit deserves to be recognized for its accomplishments and future endeavors.

I have never seen a person more devoted to saving horses and other animals as much as Dixie Neeley with Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary. I have never seen so many horses so near the brink of death be saved by Triple Me Mac and recover to become beautiful, healthy, and happy. This organization literally works 24/7, 365 to care for and save the animals. Triple Me Mac's founder has owned and worked with horses her entire life and brings now utilizes this knowledge to help save the horses. This organization needs to be recognized for its accomplishments and efforts to save equines and other animals alike.

As I've grown older, I've realized that the holidays are about much more than presents, trees, and candy. The most important aspect of the holiday season is the giving spirit and love that seems to flow more freely. #mygivingtuesday allowed me the opportunity to help make a difference to one of the causes closest to my heart..help for unwanted, neglected, and abused horses. A few years ago I met a wonderful woman named Dixie who opened and runs a Sanctuary for these horses here in Texas named Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary. She rescues horses bound for slaughter, horses that are starving, and horses in need of homes. I've volunteered at TMMES and I've seen first hand the care and love she gives to each of the horses she cares for as well as the love and appreciation they have for her. Dixie makes such a positive difference in this world and I would love to see her be able to continue, and expand this difference. $10,000 would mean so much to the horses she feeds, cares for, and vets as well as the many horses she can continue to save.

TMMES is doing amazing things for horse rescue. Dixie truly cares about each horse in her care and works very hard to lend assistance to others involved in rescue as well as educate others about horse rescue. I have seen her first hand taking care of her rescues and it's clear that they are very lucky to have been rescued by her. Please consider donating to help her take care of her rescues as well as save the lives of others horses in need.

I was introduced to this fabulous organization through a dear friend and getting involved with TMMES has been so rewarding! The people who run this are the most selfless, honorable and kind people you could ever hope to meet. They appreciate any donation and hands on help for these precious horses. Some of the rescued horses have never known a kind hand or voice and TMMES is so patient with them. Please consider donating time or money to this VERY worthwhile organization!

Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary is an outstanding non-profit. We have been a short term foster for her. One of the horses was an aged, emaciated gelding. We fell for "Major" the horse immediately. Unfortunately, we only got to have him for a short period of time. But he got to feel love and kindness before he passed. Dixie works tirelessly to help these horses and sacrifices her own personal needs to help. If Dixie had not bailed him from the kill pen, he would have never survived a trailer ride to Mexico. This is a top notch non-profit...I highly recommend it!

I was helping pickup 2 kill pen horses with my barn manager a year ago and as I was leaving I saw a severly sick, malnourished pony. I sat there and just cried my eyes out at how sad he looked. I went home determined to get that pony out of there. I called many rescues, but it was Dixie and TMMES who stepped up to help me. I named that little pony "Eastwood" and Dixie had him picked up the next day. He spent his last days with the most caring people and got to remember what love was before he passed with kidney failure just days later. I will be forever in Dixie's debt for doing everything possible to rehabilitate that sick pony and get him the vet care he needed. I have visited TMMES and Dixie takes great care of those animals. She devotes her life to a great cause and deserves all the help she can get. I am a continued supporter of her and her sanctuary and hope to be a part of her non profit throughout the future. Dixie has a huge heart and TMMES is wonderful place for any horse to live out there days in happiness & health.

I have known Dixie Neeley for many years! I work at the feed store where Dixie buys her feed! She is very dedicated to caring for her rescues! Dixie will go without food herself so that her animals can have the best! After a few weeks under Dixie's care these sometimes emaciated rescues could go in the show ring! Triple Me Mac is one of the best rescues in our area without a doubt!

Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary is run by Dixie Neeley. We have been friends for over 35 years. I have never met anyone with such a heart to save these at risk horses and donkeys. Besides the horses at the Sanctuary, she has fosters that give homes to these equines. Dixie has the most unselfish heart and puts the horses in her care above her personal needs. This is an excellent nonprofit. I cannot say enough good things about it!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this rescue and Dixie Neeley who runs it. My daughter and I volunteer here as well as foster one of it's rescues. All the horses are in superb condition both physically and mentally. The sanctuary provides a safe and natural place for all the horses who live there. As with respect to our foster, we took in a 3 month old foal and knew nothing of what we were getting ourselves into, but with the assistance of Dixie it has been such a wonderful experience. She has provided around the clock advice to insure this little is receiving the best of care. Dixie gives the sanctuary her heart and soul to all the horses who live there. Having horses we understand the cost and commitment to them and she gives 110% to each of them. Rescues like Triple Me Mac need to be recognized and supported to allow it to not only continue but also provide a safe haven for other horses in the future.

strongly recommend this rescue organization that provides a wonderful sanctuary to horses in desperate need. Through them I was able to rescue a donkey and her foal from going to a Mexican slaughter house. They spare no effort in saving, especially the old and infirm horses, from the awful trip and dreadful fate that awaits them in Mexico.

Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary is composed of dedicated, caring people who work tirelessly to better the lives horses that have been abused, abandoned, neglected, or are in danger of being sent to slaughter. They raise funds, help arrange transportation and, if necessary, quarantine for the horses. Many of the horses are then placed in qualified foster and forever homes. These same efforts are extended to donkeys and mules. I am continually amazed at what this group can achieve.

TMMES is that rare organization made up of people who are genuinely passionate about what they do. No one gets paid – each and every person who serves as a board member or volunteer donates their time willingly to an amazing cause. In the arena of animal charities, horses, many times, are overlooked in favor of smaller companion animals. But so many people count horses among their family members, and horses deserve to have a champion like TMMES to keep them from being abused, neglected, starved or sent to slaughter. TMMES does outstanding work!

Triple Me Mac Equine Santuary, TMMES, is a Very Involved and Active organization that helps to preserve the dignity of an animal! This organization is continually aware if the need if help for animals, especially Equine!

Thanks to TMMES, I was able to help 4 donkeys that had been found on the streets of San Antonio! Because of Dixie Needly, Founder and CEO, continual communication with ACS, in San Antonio, she was aware of a pregnant mare, a pony, and 5 donkeys that needed immediate help! Because of Dixie's dedication and care, homes were found! Aside from finding homes, she helped delivers these animals to the vet for gelding, shots, etc., then to their new homes! I know, as I was one of the recipients!

Due to Dixie's experience and knowledge, she has been a most valuable resource, for me and for others! She will do her best for the sake of the animal in need; lending her truck to get hay, lending troughs, lending fence panels, helping to give information for the vet, etc., and the list goes on!!

Since seeing the dedication of this organization, I recently joined their board!

Please consider TMMES in making your financial contributions, as all profits go to the good of the animal!!!

I have been a board member of Triple Me Mac since it's inception 7 years ago. We are located about an hour from San Antionio and depend on grants and donations to provide for the 31 horses in our care. I personally have participated in rescuing 3 pregnant mares that were on their way to the slaughter house in Mexico. I adopted one of them. Many people do not know that although the slaughter houses in the US are not operating approximately 150,000 horse are sent to slaughter each year in Mexico and Canada. Many of these horses are untrained or in poor health, mentally and physically. TMMES gives these horses a safe place to live out their years with dignity. Several of our horses come from the premarin ranches in Canada where once they are of no use for obtaining urine they are sent to the meat man. We also have thoroughbreds that failed at the track so their owners discarded them. There are many stories on our website. Please check us out. All donations go to the care and feeding of the horses .

TMMES is an all volunteer 501c3 nonprofit horse rescue and sanctuary. We operate solely on grants and donations. Over the past 5 years we have helped to rescue over 100 horses from all over the U.S. and Canada. Our main area of rescue is South Texas - but we try to help any equine in need, even if only by networking.

Our 31 sanctuary horses are in general horses no one elst wants. They are seniors, untrained or have health issues. One of our goals is to give these precious souls a place to live out their lives in dignity and peace.
