Meet our Horses
At Serenity Farm Horse Rescue, we have several rescue cases both long-term and now living at their forever home here in Connecticut, and those that are working in a rehabilitation program to be adopted. While our goal is to rehabilitate and re-home our rescues, some of our residents are now permanent members of the Serenity Farm Horse Rescue family.
Check out our horses available for adoption!

Biscuit
Shetland Mini
12 years old
Biscuit is our resident cool kid!
​
He is as sweet and laid back as he is adorable. Biscuit was rescued 3 years ago from a neglect case. It was apparent he was locked in a stall for most his life. His hooves were untrimmed and were extremely long, having caused a great deal of pain. He has mange and was seriously underweight. His healing journey was slow, but his attitude is unmatched - grateful for all who pay attention to him and the care he receives. He is our perfect companion to help new rescues settle in.
​
He loves being our mascot, going to fundraisers and events, and the attention of our volunteers. Biscuit has been one of our best friends for helping our kids learn more about horse care - and having fun!

Dante
15hh Morgan Horse Cross
8 Years old
Dante was rescued as a 4 year old. He is now 8 years old and beginning his journey under tack!
​
Dante was rescued from a neglect case and was seriously underweight. He showed behavioral signs of physical abuse, and was very timid and insecure.
​
It didn't take him long to realize that people can be good, and that love from people feels good. He has now been backed, is accepting his riders well, lunging, and trailering. He is a quick learner, super smart, and motivated to please. For him, the past is in the past!
He is currently up for adoption!
Shamus
Connemara cross
22 years old
Shamus is a 22 year old connemara rescue who has had many careers. He was a school horse who taught many kids to ride in lower-level dressage and as a hunter/jumper.
When he came to us, he was underweight and had an eye disease that was left untreated, resulting in almost total blindness. He truly loves attention and will even fall asleep while being groomed. This is the kindest sweetest rescue we have had!
Shamus will always require eye medication and treatment to reduce pain and discomfort, and to keep his eyes from becoming infected. And, of course, a carrot for taking his meds like the champion he's always been!
​
Laney
17.2 hh Thoroughbred
25 Years old
When Laney, a 23-year-old Thoroughbred, came to our rescue as an owner surrender, we swiftly identified some concerning health issues. A hoof disease, requiring regular trimmings and pain management medication, was discovered upon her arrival. In addition, Laney was underweight and had been diagnosed with Cushings disease. Moreover, she displayed deep distrust towards any form of handling.
Today, Laney has blossomed into a remarkably sweet-natured mare who eagerly anticipates her daily grooming sessions. While her ongoing hoof condition necessitates the continuation of pain medication, and her Cushings disease requires ongoing medical care, we are dedicated to providing the utmost comfort and well-being for Laney. Her incredible transformation symbolizes the powerful impact of compassionate care and the resilience of these magnificent animals.
Horses Gone But Not Forgotten
Serenity Farm Horse Rescue has had the privilege and honor of providing support, care, and love to these cherished horses who have since passed away. Each has left an indelible mark on our hearts, and their memory will forever be treasured at our rescue.
Lilly
OTTB
28 years old
Lilly, was a 28-year-old ex-race horse that we rescued from a neglect case. Despite her challenging past, Lilly was a successful racehorse and upper-level eventer in her prime. When she arrived at our sanctuary, she was severely underweight, with major sores and abscesses in her mouth, hindering her ability to eat. Additionally, she had infected sores and lacerations on one of her hips and legs. Following a slow and challenging two-year recovery, Lilly eventually became a beloved member of our barn. While she faced ongoing health issues requiring extensive medication, she lived out her retirement happily and healthily at Serenity Farm and will be greatly missed by all.
