Desert Star Horse Rescue

Always a great time out with her! Christine knows her stuff, her other workers/volunteers are awesome and we have great laughs! I got to ride Harley (I believe its spelled that way), this time and while he had a little arthritis, we made our way quite well, letting him pick his own pathway. These horses bring a whole new level of love for this animal, on top of the huge amount I had for them already as my favorite animal! Will go again definitely as this was my second time with her!

Very friendly place to visit. All the animals are very gentle. I love visiting with my daughters. They love the horses.

Absolutely disgusted by what we saw during a tack sale. Dirty waters, manure everywhere.. Drunk founder bragged about drugging horses and they were her “money makers”. Clearly in it for the money…..not to provide proper care for equine. Very sad and should be ashamed. Then on top of all that, she sold an underweight horse, not “adopted” with a fractured pelvis.. He was never seen by a professional nor were the buyers made aware. Unethical and cruel. This is not a reputable rescue. Just someone who flips horses for profit. Volunteers have even reached out for help. That alone says a lot about what’s going on behind the scenes.

There are three aspects to this five star rating: the people at Desert Star (outstanding); the experience of riding in the wide open spaces (jaw-dropping); and the rescuing of these incredible creatures (absolutely inspiring). Treat yourself to this trifecta - go!!

Hello y’all. I was introduced to the ranch rescue going on three months ago. All it took for me to be a sponsor (donations to help feed ) was less than a few hours out there with the people and animals. Every horse taken in gets a full exam, vaccinations, Farrier Inspection and dental care exams. There are approximately 14 horses on the property. Some owned and some for adoption. There is so much more than just riding at the ranch!! Enjoy the full horse experience at Desert Star! Which in tails YES mucking stalls, feeding, grooming helping with general chores at the ranch and exercise of the horses, especially the older ones and those with arthritis or other health issues. Christine is the main contact for the ranch, but there are three others on the property. Everyone at Desert Star are
