Now in two locations!
Equine Safe Haven's Summer Vacation
Deming New Mexico, home to Equine Safe Haven, shuts down May 15, 2025, for summer. It's just too hot, too dusty, and too smokey!
This year, Deming New Mexico has been plagued with severe dust storms, (a total of 68 from February) and high heat (daily temps well over 100 degrees) and smoke from the surrounding fires (Fires in the Gila Forest).
It made for an incredible unhealthy situation for both Equine and human. "You simply cannot breathe, work outside, and feel sick", said Katrina, the Executive Director. "It's unhealthy, and I cannot offer programs or have volunteers work in these conditions!"

When weather is an issue...What to do?
The decision was made to relocate the Equines away from it all! A beautiful grassy, horsey turnkey facility on 37 acres: a second location in Texas, which marks a new chapter filled with green pastures, shade, freedom to roam, and fresh opportunities.
Double Our Impact
We anticipate announcing some programs opening soon in North Texas this summer.
We will be looking for folks that want to drive a horse and carriage, and those that want to learn with the wheelchair accessible carriage. We look forward to events and competitions that will showcase the worth of the horses and the human that partners with them.
The community can look forward to engaging with these magnificent animals and the life-changing experiences they offer this summer, at the second location in North Texas
