Alfie
Whisper was born on August 28, 2019 and two months premature, weighing in at 45 pounds. Growing up has been quite a challenge, but he was a fighter just like his mom Spirit. Unfortunately, Whisper tragically passed away on 22 March, 2020 - we assume due to a sudden heart attack.
Below is a little video to celebrate Whisper's short life at the farm...
Daisy
Whisper
Daisy is about 10 years old and she’s a mule. A tiny petite mule. When folks come to the farm and see her, they see a very shy broken animal. Then they have this look on their face when they see her walk. She has a rolled front foot which makes her walk on her ankle. This is due to either a tendon birth defect or an injury. The looks I get are, she looks like she is in so much pain, she should be put down. After many years adjusting to her foot being this way, she is not in pain. The look in her eyes tells me she is very content, fat and happy. Daisy belonged to a cattle farmer. She had a job, protecting the herd from predators. The farmer no longer raised cattle and insisted that Ms. Daisy have a good home and continue being a guardian.
Our Horses
Most of the horses listed below are permanent residents at CERA. We love them and care for them and they may be undergoing rehabilitation or have special needs that would not be helped by moving them from home to home. Some may be too young to adopt, while others may be too old.
Each of our permanent residents may be sponsored for any monthly amount. We will keep you updated on the progress and everyday life of your sponsored horse via emails at your request. Sponsorship helps us to properly care for these wonderful animals. Your sponsorship assists us in purchasing nutritious hay and alfalfa, grain, pellets, medicine if needed, vitamins, hoof care, veterinary care, dewormers, vaccinations, etc. Sponsorship is a great outlet for you to put your arms around an animal that really needs you. You will also get the never ending love of your baby!
If you are interested in sponsoring or adopting one of our wonderful horses, please email Darlene at DarleneDSK57@proton.me and let her know which horse you are interested in. You are also welcome to visit, by appointment, and bring your horse treats, brush them, etc.
All contributions are tax-deductible under section 170 of the IRS code. We accept donations via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or you may send a check, whichever you prefer.
My name is Alfie and was just a baby when I came to CERA. I had a pretty rough life and wasn't exactly in the best of shape.
CERA nursed me back to health and I feel very lucky to be here. I'm a Mini, just like Sammy and we've become best buds. He taught me a lot of things, I guess you can say he basically raised me. We very much enjoy each other, in fact we've become inseparable, especially being the same size and all. I think those big horses would really scare me.
