Her job is done.
So now she rests.
Broodmares are mares kept for the sole purpose of breeding. When they no longer produce, they are no longer of use. As a result, they can find themselves at the auction houses, often only pit stops on their journey to their final destination: slaughter.
They give themselves - mind, body, & spirit - to the act of creation. They gift life to the breed, only to be discarded when they have no more life left to give.
We know the worth of these special mares. We see their hearts and their spirits, and we offer them what is rightfully theirs to have - a never-ending day of rest.
Our Mission
To acknowledge and honor the contributions equine mothers have made, regardless of age, breed, or discipline, by providing them with complete care, rest, and retirement within a sanctuary setting.
Our Vision
To embolden and empower human mothers and potential mothers to take control of their mental and emotional well-being by partnering with retired broodmares in transformative interactions within the safe and protected environment of the sanctuary.
They created life.
They nurtured life.
They are Moa.
Mother.
And now, they are offered a never-ending day of rest.
An abiding Sunday.
