Journey with Equus Horse Sanctuary

Where Horses, Humans, and the Land Heal Together

Since 2015, Liberty's Legacy Inc. dba Journey with Equus has been creating second chances—for horses and for people.

Located at Raison d'Être Ranch in Elizabeth, Colorado, Journey with Equus is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sanctuary and equine-partnered wellness center. Today, more than 100 horses call our ranch home—a living testament to more than a decade of believing that every horse deserves safety, dignity, and a future.

Our herd includes horses of all breeds, with a special focus on off-track Thoroughbreds already caught in the slaughter pipeline. Many arrive carrying the effects of neglect, abandonment, injury, or careers that have come to an end. Here, they are given what every living being deserves: safety, dignity, compassion, and the opportunity to simply be.

But the story does not end there.

We believe a horse's greatest gift is not found in performance, but in presence.

The same horses once considered unwanted now help people navigate grief, trauma, stress, anxiety, and life's many challenges. Through equine-partnered wellness experiences, they teach resilience, trust, self-awareness, and authentic connection. We proudly serve youth, veterans, first responders, caregivers, families, and individuals seeking healing, growth, and hope.

While lifelong sanctuary remains our primary focus, we actively seek and approve exceptional foster and adoptive homes for horses ready for their next chapter. Every successful placement creates space to help another horse in need. Many of the horses entrusted to our care, however, are seniors, have medical needs, or are otherwise unable to pursue a second career and remain in sanctuary for life.

Your support helps provide feed, veterinary care, farrier services, shelter, and daily care for the horses who call Journey with Equus home. When the needs of the herd are fully met, donations also help make our equine-partnered wellness programs accessible to individuals who otherwise could not afford them.

What began in 2015 as a promise to help horses has grown into something far greater: a place where discarded horses rediscover purpose, people find healing, and both are given the chance to write a new story.

Because every horse deserves dignity.

Every person deserves hope.

And sometimes, healing begins with a horse.
