In June of 2024 our elderly neighbor unexpectedly passed away leaving her husband, family, and the neighbors completely heartbroken and in shock. In addition to this great loss, our neighbor had left behind her horse. The family did not have the capacity to care for him.A group of neighbors quickly came together and identified that the horse required medical attention as well as rehoming. We worked to identify all options, including contacting Serenity Equine Rescue.Patricia was absolutely amazing. She did a site visit and within a day had a plan in place to give this amazing horse a fighting chance. The family was so thankful to know that their beloved family member’s pet would receive the care and soft landing he deserved.Through the amazing network that Patricia has worked so hard to cultivate for the horses, a transport was set up for the horse to be relocated to Serenity and receive immediate medical attention.Since his arrival at the rescue, the horse has made outstanding progress. He has put on weight, had regular as well as critical medical care and is no longer a lone horse left alone in his stall. He is well loved and cared for.This is the best outcome from a tragic event the family and neighbors could have hoped for. We are eternally grateful that this horse can live out his days in comfort after the loss of his owner. All of it was possible thanks to Patricia, the amazing volunteers and the tireless work of Serenity Equine Rescue.

Serenity is the perfect name for this equine rescue and rehabilitation. Just being on the farm is calming. The first time I went to Serenity as a volunteer I was surprised by the cleanliness of the farm. It is clean and peaceful and you just know that these are well cared for animals.
Owner Patricia Clark is passionate about the horses and every horse brought to Serenity is given the best of care, using gentle methods only. They’re cared for physically and emotionally by many, including veterinarians, trainers, Patricia and fabulous volunteers who all work tirelessly.
When a horse is deemed ready to be adopted and rehomed, the potential new home
and owners are carefully vetted, including a property inspection. From all I’ve seen and know, Serenity is exactly what an equine rescue should be.

What a bunch of fabulous and caring animal loving people. I have learned so much here and respect the owner Patricia and her sidekick Myrna tremedously. I think these horses are treated like Greek Gods!

I have loved being a part of a great organization that cares for both the animals at the farm and those in the surrounding community. This has helped countless individuals keep their beloved animals with them with the support of Serenity, those that donate and the volunteers. Happy to have found this place.

This is a wonderful place of healing, for the horses and for those of us who have the chance to volunteer here. Every time I come I look at those majestic animals and am so grateful that they have a place that the can just be. No expectation, just become whole, heal, be loved and give all those things back to us if we open ourselves to what Patricia has fostered.
It's amazing!

Four years ago I adopted Braveheart and Prada from Serenity. It absolutely changed my life and opened my eyes. I've been following Serenity ever since and am so thankful there is an organization like this out there and people like Patricia. Serenity is truly the voice for these horses.

Given my recent personal experience with Serenity and its purpose I'm disappointed in those people placing negative comments here. I'm more disappointed in those individuals hiding behind pseudonyms; kind of like showing up at a protest in masked costume. I really don't put a lot of trust in negative reviews from people who don't use their real name and conceal their identity. In a way, it epitomizes what is wrong worldwide and is just another false flag of sorts; in this case cloaked provocation on a worthy cause with intent to harm. I wrote a blog,"Dr. Jekll and Mr. Hyde", recently on this type of attack, which you can read on the following website: http://amusingcommunityperspective.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde-are-pseudonyms/

I have known of Serenity since it started it's existance. SERR has a reputation of being willing to step in where others will not. They are very willing to do whatever it takes to help the horses. Their horses all look wonderful and the before/after pictures are outstanding. This rescue fulfills it's mission of "Rescue and Rehabilition" with amazing results. Good job!
