Welcome to Sundog Sporthorse Sanctuary
Sundog Sporthorse Sanctuary is a 501c3 horse sanctuary dedicated to providing a safe haven for retired sport horses. Our mission is to showcase the unique profiles of each horse, raise awareness about the needs of these magnificent animals, and provide opportunities for individuals to support our cause through donations and events.
Ensuring a Secure Future for Your Equine Partner
For many owners, the hardest part of loving a horse is planning for life after their working career ends.
​
Sporthorses are powerful, intelligent athletes. They often stand well over 17 hands, require significant nutrition, and have been trained for structured, high-energy careers. When retirement comes, these same qualities can make finding appropriate long-term placement challenging.
​
At Sundog Sporthorse Sanctuary, we understand that reality — and we exist to provide a responsible solution.
​
Owner surrender is not giving up on your horse.
It is choosing to ensure their lifelong safety and care.
