Our Story

Chammy's Equine Sanctuary is a haven for horses, mini horses, ponies, and donkeys. Since 2015, Angela, our President and sole staff member, has dedicated herself to voluntarily caring for these animals—and countless others—all while working full-time as a public school teacher. Her work has created a refuge for neglected equines, contributed to natural disaster rescue efforts, and helped educate the community on responsible equine ownership.

In 2024, Chammy's Equine Sanctuary Foundation was established to support Angela's unwavering commitment and ensure the long-term sustainability of her mission. A dedicated board of directors was formed to provide strategic oversight, governance, and stewardship of resources. Together, we remain focused on protecting, rescuing, and advocating for equines in need.

Chammy holds a special place in Angela's heart as her first horse, igniting her lifelong dedication to caring for neglected equestrian animals. Chammy's blankets were also green, just like our logo!

Our Needs

100% of all donations to the general fund go directly to caring for our animals and furthering our mission—covering essential monthly expenses such as grain, hay, and medical care.

While our immediate priority is meeting daily needs, we have future goals we'd love to share:

Your generosity helps us care for our animals today and build a brighter future for them tomorrow.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every equine—horse, pony, mini, or donkey—lives free from neglect, cruelty, and suffering. Our goal is to ensure that neglected equines receive the individualized care they need to heal physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Through compassionate rescue and rehabilitation, we help them recover and thrive in safe, nurturing environments.

Beyond rescue, our vision includes a future where responsible equine ownership is the norm. Through education and outreach, we aim to foster a culture of empathy, accountability, and proper care within the equestrian community and beyond. By equipping individuals with the knowledge and resources to prevent harm, we strive to stop neglect before it begins.

Realizing this vision requires collective effort. We are committed to working alongside fellow advocates, organizations, and volunteers to champion equine welfare. Together, we will build a more compassionate world—one where all equines are treated with dignity, kindness, and respect.
