My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Molly is an off the track Standardbred who was born in 2015. She raced on the track for a few years before her family decided to stop racing her and to turn her into a riding horse instead. She was started under saddle for a summer before getting the winter off and then coming to us. Since she's been with us, we've been working to expand her knowledge and to get her more comfortable in the ring, and she's been getting better and better! She absolutely adores going out on trail rides and doesn't care if she's alone or has company.

Like most mares, she can be pretty opinionated but her grumping is mostly just for show. Once she gets to know you she's a big goofball!

She's pretty solid undersaddle at the walk and trot, but is still learning how to canter with a human on her back. We are looking for a family for her that has a little bit of experience and is looking to keep working with her. She would probably be happiest being a trail horse, but is learning how to pick up her feet over poles and seems to really enjoy it!

If you are looking for a sassy little mare who loves to explore, look no further!

You can fill out an adoption application for her at waywardranch.org and please reach out if you have any other questions!

More about this rescue

Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.

Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.

The Dream:

Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.

Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.

We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
