Welcome to our peaceful sanctuary. We are a non-riding farm. Our therapy horses are all rescues, and each has a unique story that adds to their ability to connect with participants. Each of the horses fill a special role in the herd to create a complete, happy farm family.
Rescue Story: Sophia was spotted at the Camelot Auction house in New Jersey with sad eyes and a willingness to please. We contacted our friends at Central New England Equine Rescue to pull her out of the auction house and rescue Sophia for us. Sophia arrived in December 2014 in a snow storm. She was very sick and had to quarantine in the barn by herself for three months. After receiving medical care, she emerged as a spirited and happy 10 year old Arabian horse. According to the papers from the auction house, her original name was "Spirit". Sophia is now about 20 years old. She continues to have some anxiety and trust issues due to her past trauma. Sophia is now safe and thriving at Field of Dreams Therapy Farm!
Superpower- Resilience. Also very nosy and observant!
Gizmo was our first rescue in November 2009! He is approximately 30 years old and is a very handsome Quarter horse. Gizmo's former owners were moving out of State and posted Gizmo for sale. He was off to the auction house and eventually the horse slaughter pipeline if no one came forward to pursue this beautiful boy. That is when we stepped in and rescued Gizmo! He is now safe, spoiled, and very happy at the Field of Dreams Therapy Farm.
Superpower - Teaches us to not take things so seriously. Loves to play
Rescue Story: Sully arrived in January, 2024 on a cold winter day. He came wearing a very cute pink and blue coat. Sully had been in multiple foster homes and was eventually adopted by a family in Maine through the Heart and Hooves Equine Rescue and Sanctuary. During a visit to the local grain store, I ran into Amanda and Michelle from the Heart and Hooves and they informed me that Sully was being sent back to their rescue from his home in Maine because he was partially blind in one eye and could no longer be ridden safely. Sully went to another foster home and we expressed interest in meeting him to see if he would be a good fit at Field of Dreams. We quickly set up a visit to meet him. When we arrived, he was in a field with some other horses and donkeys. I called out "Sully" and he looked right up at me and ran over. It was love at first sight! We formally adopted Sully into our Field of Dreams rescue family.
Sully was very anxious when he arrived and it was also difficult due to his blindness. He would sometimes get spooked when approached. He is very loving and gives gentle nibbles to everyone he meets. He loves his barn. Most of his life, he lived outside with a run in, so he is very happy to have a warm stall in his barn.
Sully was a diamond in the rough and with a lot of love and patience, he has become a favorite at the Field of Dreams!
Superpower - Love everyone
Lil' Jack and Thunder were our first mini rescues at the Farm. They arrived in 2023. Sadly, Thunder passed away in January 2025 and Lil' Jack was very sad. They were a bonded pair that shared a stall. Lil' Jack had lost another friend before Thunder, so he had been through this heartache before. Lil' Jack is an old mini who loves people and other horses. He is easy-going, gentle and loves to be with everyone at the barn. He currently shares a stall with mini Heidi, our newest rescue who immediately attached herself to handsome Lil' Jack.
Superpower - Listening
Bella and Daisy are two bonded mini horses. They arrived at Field of Dreams in June 2024. Originally, Bella and Daisy were rescued from a hoarding situation, and adopted by a local couple who adored them. Over the years, their owners had health issues and were unable to care for them. The bonded girls are sweet and friendly. Daisy is a little rebel and she likes to get her own way. She is so cute, despite her feisty nature. Bella is built like a little soccer player and is very easy going. They both love attention and eating. Bella and Daisy run and graze with Lil' Jack, Heidi and big Sam.
Bella's Superpower - Shows that even though you may be physically strong, you can still be soft and kind.
Daisy's Superpower - Shows you that even though you may feel or be physically small, you can still be the leader of the group.
Heidi arrived February 2, 2025. She is 30 years old and lost her companion horse four years ago. She spent her time alone, but with humans that loved her. Heidi loves other horses. When her humans were moving to Ireland, they reached out to us to take her in. Heidi arrived on an icy February day and immediately attached herself to Lil' Jack. She loves being around the horses, but is a little skittish around new people. She is the cutest little lassie you have ever seen!
Superpower - Learning to Trust
Teddy is the perfect mini horse. He arrived at Field of Dreams in April 10, 2025 when the barn that he was at closed. He is easy going and friendly and loves attention. His best friend is Sully and they love to run and play together.
Superpower: Mr. Personality
Sam was our gentle Giant. He was an old Draft horse who arrived in May 2024. He was adopted by Jodie who adored and cared for him. Sam loved attention, hanging with his littles (Bella, Daisy, Heidi and Lil' Jack).
Superpower - A Giant friend who can bring you peace when you are in his presence
Sam passed away 7/8/25
Thunder was Lil' Jack's best friend. He and Lil' Jack were the two original senior mini horses at Field of Dreams Therapy Farm. Thunder was an easy-going mini that was loved by everyone who met him.
Superpower: comfort your friends
Thunder passed away 1/10/25
