Help us succeed

Consciousness changes, morals change as well.  We no longer condone slavery, we no longer see women as less than men, we no longer find it acceptable that animals suffer.  
Equine researcher Stormy May has spent over 30 years exploring the horse world and the last few years networking with new friends from many countries who all find value in caring for horses in peaceful ways. Today, her path has expanded to our path and our dreams have gotten very big.

We’re taking steps to provide sanctuary to every last captive horse in the world and creating a network of humans to support these horses to live out lives of emotional, mental and physical health and safety. At the same time we offer horses homes, we also create places to give humans sanctuary, alongside the horses. Together we will heal each other and the planet by remembering how to join our hearts and walk together.
We have a video of what this looks like at the end of this post, it will be a treat for your imagination to get a peek at what we are creating.

What we have set-up is an ongoing experiment in compassion. We are finding out what horses are like when we don’t ride or control them by force. We are finding out how humans can connect with horses and other humans when our focus is on caring for each other rather than filling our own desires at the expense of another being’s freedom.
There are a lot of steps to be taken between now and then and we can’t wait to get started!
We already have 6 OurHorses sanctuaries around the world.  Pioneers in Poland, Denmark, Spain, and the USA have already created places where horses and humans live together in harmony.  In order to expand this vision, your dollars are needed as a vote for this way of being with horses to succeed.  Donate in honor of what you would like to give back to the horse nation.  
For this phase of the creation, we want to create jobs for 6 people to work for 6 months doing administrative and land care tasks to help bring this creation to the next level.  To do this, we need to raise $144,000.
This will enable us to take the time to set up more model sanctuaries, network with other organizations,  and find more people who are ready to take on projects to truly care for their larger human families.  We will also work to create educational programs to teach people about caring for horses and humans in peaceful ways.
