About Bluemont Sanctuary

Bluemont was born of a dream Lesley had to help as many animals as she could—and along the way, this dream became Carl’s passion too. The sanctuary currently houses 14 horses, mini-ponies, donkeys and mules, most of which have some form of disability or injury. A number were rescued from kill pens, where they were dumped after years of hard labor on Amish farms or racetracks after out-living their profitability to the owner or usefulness as work animals Unlike the typical dog or cat, equines change ownership 7 times on average in their lifetimes, meaning they have constantly disrupted social networks. Bluemont provides a place where they’re loved and can live out their days as part of a family. This safety and security comes at a cost: the bills are never ending—in addition to food and regular veterinary care, the animals often require rehabilitation, specialized farrier care, supplements and medications.
