What If Farms Sanctuary
Proud Recipient of the The Marion and Richard Graham Foundation Grant 2022 & 2024
What If Farms, Inc. is a non-profit horse and donkey sanctuary dedicated to providing forever homes (here at the farm) for those equines who are no longer wanted by their humans; particularly animals who are disabled or older and no longer considered “useful”, such as off-track thoroughbreds.
We Provide for the Most Essential Needs of Equines:
The equines are at liberty to go in and out of shelter as they choose, have plenty of room for movement, lots of grazing, and the ability to be in a herd. We also explore and provide innovative holistic health treatments; research and update nutrition regularly; and provide consistency of handling, as well as consistency in our philosophical approach, recognizing that these non-human animals are cognitive beings with whom we share this world, exploring, experiencing and gathering information. We do not ride or ask anything of them. Simply, horses can be horses and donkeys can be donkeys In addition to providing the best care possible for all equines who come to live here with us, we also offer opportunities for visitors to the farm to learn about our unique, liberating approach, while maintaining the privacy and dignity of each animal.
Our ability to maintain this sanctuary and care for the equines here relies heavily on donations, and we offer several ways to do that. We accept general donations that go toward the greatest areas of need, or you can sponsor a particular horse to help ensure their individual needs are met. Monthly sponsorship donations assist in medical expenses, quality of life care, and enrichment for your sponsored horse, giving donors the opportunity to help celebrate their horse’s ability to just be itself.
