Jan's Rails to Trails Rescue Sanctuary

We’re asking for help — and every little bit truly counts. ❤️

For the first time, we are facing a serious financial struggle here at Jan’s Rails to Trails Rescue Sanctuary.

We currently care for 55+ horses, many of them seniors who require ongoing feed, supplements, veterinary care, farrier care, and extra attention. The costs add up quickly, and summer is always especially difficult because the heat limits how many hours we can work each day.

We are picking back up, but right now we desperately need help getting through this difficult stretch.

If you can donate, any amount helps. $10, $25, $50 — whatever you can spare can make a difference for a horse in our care. ❤️

We are a nonprofit and can provide tax receipts for donations. We can also accept donated items that can be sold to raise funds, and provide documentation for those donations as applicable.

This momma dog was rescued in the middle of nowhere. She was skin and bones and just days from giving birth to her 9 puppies!! Momma and 4 pups are still looking for homes. If you are interested in filling out an adoption application please call or text Lorri Zeigler @ (530) 932-0045.
Adoption fee of $100. Dna test should be back soon but they look to be lab/ cattle dog mix.

Hopefully this is our last heat spell! No afternoon group lessons today or tomorrow due to extreme heat 🥵

Another day of triple digit heat. No afternoon lessons.. stay cool everyone.

The forecast shows 100+ degrees today. There will be no afternoon group lesson class. With most of our lesson horses being seinors it's not safe. Senior horses are especially vulnerable to heat stress, so riding them when temperatures are 100°F+ can become dangerous very quickly. Thank you for your understanding

Trail ride today with a bunch of horse crazy kids. ..we Love morning lessons in the summer!!

Message us to get on the schedule for the fall/winter session. Call or text 530-514-9140

🚨 our beauty shop box has gone missing and Beauty shop week is next week! If you have any extra ribbon, fake flowers, bows ect, really anything that can be used to decorate a horse please consider donating to us!. We are also always in need of shampoo and conditioner this time of year ( human is OK) thank you!

This time of year is always a little challenging for us. Between riders heading off on vacation, end-of-school-year activities, and losing some students for the summer before new students enroll, our income tends to slow down significantly.

At the same time, the horses still need the same level of care every day. Our hay and veterinary bills are beginning to stack up, and we're looking for creative fundraising ideas to help us through the summer months.

If you've participated in a fundraiser that worked well, we'd love to hear your suggestions! And if you're able to help, any donation—big or small—is truly appreciated and goes directly toward the care and well-being of our horses.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and for being part of our community.
