Laughing Pony sits in between our Centerview and Heehaw Hideaway barns. Residing in Laughing Pony are three hackney geldings, a stunted small horse named KitKat, and a hinny named Leroi. Behind Laughing Pony’s barn is a track system that helps give them exercise and keeps them entertained. All five are friends and enjoy being together as a herd. 

Heehaw Hideaway is home to two of our miniature donkey herds. Heehaw Hideaway has a small shelter with a “front porch” and attached dry lot. A wonderful group of miniature donkeys, the youngest being 20 and the oldest 34 live here, lazing their days away under the trees and enjoying their golden years.

Sunrise Pointe is a 7-stall L-shaped barn facing east overlooking lush pastures and the memorial garden. Atop Sunrise Pointe is a cupola with the “red bell” of Red Bell Run as its focal point. Illuminated at sunset, the red bell is the symbol of the Sanctuary.

Originally our “special” special needs barn, Villa Roja is the first village inside the lower farm gates. As it has grown, Villa Roja has become home to a diverse group of equines, and they all have special needs. 

Sunset Ridge got its name from a picture taken by one of our staff. It shows a silhouette of three horses high on the hill against the backdrop of the setting sun. Currently, three Mammoth Molly Mules and a Mammoth Donkey share the shelters and barns. They enjoy one of the most spectacular views on the lower farm.  

Hilltop is the highest point on the farm and was designed specifically for our “big” girls. The doors and stalls are oversized to accommodate drafts, the economy-sized equines that helped build this country and even today are sometimes used to work on farms. Everything up at this barn is built with their needs in mind.
