Meet Chance

From Hardship to Hope, a Journey of Second Chances

 Chance's name is surely apropos. He came to us in November of 2023 with a lot of trust issues. At only 6-years-old, it was clear that he didn't trust humans; after a brief life of working on an Amish farm, he was brought to the slaughterhouse- until we saved him. Now he is the most stunning gelding in town!

Meet Wilbur

Our Gentle Giant

Wilbur is part of our draft horse trio. He is a Percheron, in his late teens and is an ex-Amish workhorse. After working his whole life and being starved, he ended p in the slaughter pipeline. We found him just in time to save him, and give him his second chance at a happy life. Today this handsome man has gained weight and stands at his full glory.

Meet Cheyenne

Blind But Not Out

Completely blind, Cheyenne  is our 35+ year old, longest and oldest resident on the farm. She has been on the property for over 20 years. And while she is blind, she is still thriving, as her best friend, Norman takes good care of her.

Meet Timmy

Expert at Staying Dirty

Timmy is like the white shirt you can never keep clean. Grey by nature, but boy does Timmy love to roll around in the mud. He has been with us since the summer of 2003. He was an owner surrender. Timmy is only 15-years-old, but he already has arthritis and requires supplements. Timmy is living his best life along side his favorite pals, Cruiser and Rooster.

Meet Romeo

A Well Mannered Man of Small Stature

Romeo is one of our minis. He's an older gentleman who came to us because his owners could not keep up with the increasing demands of an aging horse. However, he is so well behaved that he is able to be free roaming on our property.

Meet The Cows

The Cutest 4 Girls You'll Ever Meet

Star, Moon, Lucky & Charm are our dairy farm survivors. Cows that have low milk production or difficulty reproducing are most often culled for economic purposes on dairy farms. We helped these girls through our re-homing efforts and today they are the most snuggly and affectionate bunch that will surely steal your heart.

Meet Cruiser

From Amish Work Horse to Sanctuary Star

Cruiser came to P'nuts Freedom Farm after being overworked and underfed, leaving him just skin and bones. A slaughter line survivor, Cruiser has quickly captured the hearts of everyone as he has become the most loving and happy horse around.

Meet Rooster

Slaughter Line Survivor

Carefree and goofy now, Rooster is our easy going youngster. Slaughter line survivor, Rooster was only a yearling when he came to us, and was going to be discarded due to so called behavioral issues, but he really just needed to be free to be himself! Rooster is now living his best life, running wild and free, and is well known for being Cruiser's side-kick.

Meet the Alpacas

Mini Giraffes

Stella, Luna, & Greta are shy, skeptical, and curious, but these adorable 3 are warming up to humans very quickly. A handful of treats and they'll come running. Their owners were hobbyists, who did not fully understanding just how much time, attention, and resources they require. We are happy to provide everything they need here at the farm.

Meet Momoona

Shy but Loving

At a towering 17 hands, Momoona is our giant teddy bear. She is very shy, but she won't hesitate to show some love if you have a treat! Momoona came to us because she wasn't an adequate trail rider or lesson horse, and her owners needed her to produce an income. Here on the farm, she doesn't need to be a working girl!

Meet Kirby

Best Conversations with a Macaw!

Kirby is a 9 year old Macaw who was re-homed to P'nuts Freedom Farm after his owner sadly passed away with no family who could care for him. Lucky for Kirby, the family found us and gave him a new forever home. Kirby loves to hang out and talk in your ear.

Meet Roger

Livin' in P'nut Paradise

Roger is an ex-Amish work horse, who has some neurological issues. We suspect he was in a buggy accident, and that is why he is with us now. However, with proper nutrition, exercise, and medicine, he is pain free and a happy boy in his mid teens.

Meet Toni

The Beauty

Toni is a 4-year-old off-the-track thoroughbred. These retired racehorses usually become glue or dog food, but lucky Toni gets to run free and love life. It took a little time for her to learn how to be a horse again, but now she is right at home.

Meet Seamus

Spirit Look-Alike

Seamus has markings almost identical to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron." Much like Spirit, Seamus is very resilient, and though he didn't have the easiest past, rescued from a life of neglect and abuse,  he has bonded with the humans and horses on the farm, making best friends with Apache. Today he runs free like the wild stallion he is named after.

Meet Caroline

The Queen

The cutest potbelly pig you'll ever meet! With every step comes a little "oink" that warms your heart. Caroline's owners had to rehome her after their situation changed and they could no longer keep her at home. They did the loving thing and brought her to us!

Meet Hilda and Louie

The Flock

Ducks, Chickens, Geese, & Quail! Hilda and Louie rule the roost. They love to lounge around in their own personal pool and enjoy each other's company. Oftentimes, people have to find new homes for their birds when some in the flock don't get along. Not all birds of a feather flock together!

Meet Starlight

The Toothless Horsey

The diva of the land. Starlight requires a special diet as he doesn't have any teeth, due to poor nutrition and lack of dental care. Starlight requires frequent small, soft meals. So never be late or the king himself will let you know about it!

Meet Apache

The Model

This handsome man joined P'nut's Freedom Farm after an injury to his back leg that prevented him from being ridden. In his new life here, that is not a concern! Though he is a little shy, Apache warms up really quickly with a scratch behind the ears, and he really enjoys the attention.

Meet Foxtrot

A Little Guy with a Great Big Heart

Foxtrot is one of our minis, but he is the biggest sweetheart you could ever meet. Most people don't realize that a mini horse is just as much work as a large horse, so his owners gave him to us to take care of. But the work is worth the reward!

Meet Grace and Pickles

Where Elegance Meets Charm

Grace was taken to auction by her Amish owners while she was very pregnant. We decided to rescue her and bring her home, and 4 weeks later she gave birth to little Mr. Pickles who is a very sweet, playful addition to the family.

Meet Norman

The Senior Newbie

Norman is a senior horse in his late 20's. He came to live with us in January of 2024. Severely underweight and malnourished, Norman needed some TLC. He found a best friend in Cheyenne and has flourished on the farm, gaining a ton of weight, showing just how happy he is.

Meet Gloria

Strength in Grace, Vision Beyond Sight

Gloria is part of the draft trio- a Percheron in her early 20's-  who suffers from equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) in one eye. This condition is also known as Moon Blindness. It's an inflammatory condition of the uvea, and is usually caused by infection or trauma. Despite her condition, she is strong, graceful, and a true beauty.

Meet Thisbe

A Beauty Unstoppable by Tragedy

Thisbe is a 19-year-old Trakehner- a
horse breed known for its versatility, athleticism, and elegance. Thisbe was used in show jumping due to her excellent movement, intelligence, and willing temperament, but after an injury left her unable to perform, she came to live with us, and now lives out her well deserved years on our sanctuary.
