We are firm believers that because horses are herd animals, they need to be with other horses for their positive mental and physical growth and well being.   We will not sell a horse unless it will be housed with other horses or another companion such as a goat, lamb, etc.   We allow our horses the freedom to run, play and be active at all times.   All of the horses have a pasture large enough that enables them to enjoy a run.  

We handle stallions quite differently than most in that we do not segregate them from other geldings and stallions.  In these photos, many of these horses are active breeding stallions turned out with eachother.   We socialize all stallions to be able to enjoy playing and running with other horses which is a necessary factor in providing for their positive attitude and prevent the development of bad habits typically attributed to stallions.

We offer a number of programs focused mainly on animal rescue and providing homes for abused and unwanted animals.  In addition, we provide a home to horses and animals that people are no longer able to keep or house due to relocation, moving, financial or personal reasons.  

We are involved with all animals but focus heavily on draft horse rescue and stallion rescues.  We rescue and provide homes for many unwanted, donated or abused:  Stallions, Shires, Clydesdales, Percherons, Belgians, PMU Horses, Foals as well as saddle horses.   We have found that draft type horses and stallions are frequently neglected due to people's misunderstanding of the needs of these type of horses including feed requirements, shelter, medical and farrier needs as well as an understanding of how to handle these animals.

Dances With Horses believes in the protection and care of all animals.  We offer a beautiful peaceful setting for animals of all types.  Our property is fenced around the entire parameter to ensure the safety of all animals.  In addition, we have a security gate which requires an access code to enter the property as well as 24 hour security by  trained dogs.
