I have been donating and volunteering at this organization for almost two years, and I find Brent's (the president of Orphan Acres) dedication and tenacity inspiring. Currently, over 80 horses reside at this wonderful nonprofit, either living out their lives, or waiting to be adopted into a forever and loving home. Some horses are brought from horrific situations, and are then rehabilitated at this sanctuary. Most horses are brought in because the owner could either no longer care or afford the horse, so many of these horses have great potential and would make a great family pet. Going out and volunteering is really a great experience because you get to bond with all different kinds of horses, and help your community. This organization is in great need of help, for both manual labor, and financial expenses. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone.

I am so thankful for Orphan Acres and Brent!! I adopted a wonderful horse from them.
I told Brent what I was looking for and he told me Houdini would be a good fit and he is. Houdini has his forever home!!!

I met Brent a couple weeks ago. He had agreed to take my mom's horses which she could no longer care for. It was a difficult decision to make, but after meeting Brent and spending an afternoon sharing life stories and meeting many of the horses in his care, I knew mom's horses would have a safe and loving place to live out their senior years. The horses are well cared for with individual attention as needed. Brent called to make sure my neighbor made it home safely after she transported the horses to Orphan Acres. He called me to tell me Blue and Blaze were settling in. This is a truly special nonprofit where resources of volunteer time and financial assistance contribute greatly to its success.

My mother in law at 89 years old was looking for a place that her 2 horses, Blue and Blaze could retire. Orphan Acres was just the place for them. Brent is awesome and loves taking care of them. Long term care at it's best. Blue and Blaze have settled in at their new home.
Thank you Brent.
With thanks and gratitude,

I met Brent Glover several years ago as a delivery driver in his area. After researching his organization I find that very few people are as compassionate and knowledgeable about horses as he is. His dedication is understood only after a visit to his rescue. His organization is responsible for saving literally thousands of perfectly good horses. The proof is in the pudding!
