LIBERTY SANCTUARY

West Taylor visited Liberty to work with some of our most skeptical horses and to teach us how neuroregulation can help the horse feel safe and able to learn. Just like humans, horses cannot handle difficult tasks when they are dysregulated. We would like to continue this work and ask that you consider sponsoring Chief with a donation. Link in profile. Chief basically started Liberty Sanctuary. Our founder discovered handsome then 4 year old Chief in a TX kill pen and that inspired Liberty’s first freedom ride rescuing 10 horses. While Chief has made gentle progress, he is still dysregulated and benefited from some of the science-based lessons West taught him. Every horse deserves to be better understood and there’s a lot in science that can help us to better understand and care for our horses and ourselves!

     Dakota was the first Mustang to set foot on Liberty’s Mustang Mountain. While she has been interested in engaging with people, she really made significant breakthroughs this summer thanks to Beila and Nicole’s Liberty work and consistency. We brought her into the round pen to play with West Taylor so that he could offer her different choices and rewards based in neuroscientific principles. She followed West around like a puppy dog and enjoyed the puzzles he presented her. Please donate (link in profile) to continue Dakota’s education. She will be adoptable by spring 2026. Thanks so much to @wildwest_taylor @beilaedelman @nkt_horses @searrarose36 @drstevepeters @provo.ifa @knotty.girlz @cornellvet #brainscience 

Americans including Dawn Olivieri are lending their powerful voices to demand change and protections for American horses by passing the Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act or SAFE Act to forever ban the export of American horses for slaughter. We need to all come together and support by visiting and sharing SAFEACT.org so friends can easily send a customizable letter to legislators. Not one more year should pass with over 20,000 horses being senselessly trafficked to their deaths. Let’s all help them now! Visit SAFEACT.org today!

Let’s show Congress the Heart of the Herd! 

 Liberty took part in an incredible rescue of over 31 equines from the Navajo Nation. This mission was spearheaded by Dawn Olivieri and All Seated In A Barn. Liberty was honored to play a role and help welcome over 11 wild horses to the great Western state of Utah. In the end, 4 baby horses remained home @libertysanctuary and 7 horses and 3 donkeys were accepted at other UT sanctuaries. These babies came without stopping at auction or kill pens, reducing stress to the animals and avoiding diseases that are rampant in the slaughter pipeline. Their parents were sent to slaughter. We are honored to be a part of this effort and urge you all to visit SAFEACT.org to let your legislators know you insist we ban the export of majestic American horses for slaughter.
