Help Reunite 2 B.C. Wildfire Rescue Horses

In the Summer of 2017, two big, draft horses were rescued behind the fire line of the BC wildfires. Upon rescue, both horses were discovered to have serious neglect of their feet and were barely able to walk. Following the fire rescue, Poppy and Tony found themselves in the BCSPCA looking for homes that would give them the support and rehabilitation they needed.

During the adoption process, these two horses were separated. Tony, whose name is now Malachi, found his home at Epona Rise Retreat Center, a place where horses are given a second chance and purpose at life through equine experiential learning and leadership programs. Poppy was adopted by a woman who fell in love with her spirit and wanted to give her the love and care she needed to get back to health.

After Poppy's recovery, she was in need of a new environment that would be supportive of her lasting health and care.  She hoped for a potential reunion with herdmate, Tony (now Malachi).



On April 26th, these two horses will be reunited at Epona Rise Retreat Center to begin a new life and purpose together.



This fund goes towards the cost of one year of Poppy's care in her new home. All of the horses that are given homes at Epona Rise are rescues. We are able to give homes to them in part with generous donations from our amazing community.

If you would like to be a part of this reunion and support Poppy in her new life, you can donate below.

Everyone who donates will receive updates of Poppy's new life here, a picture of her with her new herd and old herdmate, Malachi, in order to continue to be a part of her new life.
