Saving one horse won't change the world, but it will change the world for that horse.
The next chapter of Casey's
We thank all of our supporters for 13 years of rescues and care!
Thank you so much for your standing with us over the years. Your kindness has made a real difference in the lives of the horses that have been in our care.
After 13 meaningful years of rescue work, we want to share the difficult news that we will be closing our doors on June 30, 2026. Due to the loss of our lease and the inability to secure another suitable facility large enough for our horses, we made the careful decision to partner with another trusted rescue organization. We are grateful to say that all of our horses have been safely transferred along with our rescue assets, ensuring their continued care and protection.
We are especially thankful that our barn manager and trainer knows this organization well and will continue to provide excellent care for our horses at their new home, which gives us great peace of mind.

Casey was purchased from an auction of 63 thoroughbreds that were malnourished and living in horrible conditions. He was one of the lucky ones! A majority of the horses purchased that day ended up at slaughter. Casey was best friend to Retired Co-Founder, Sue Balla for 26 years before he passed over at the age of 28. Sue's love for Casey
Casey was purchased from an auction of 63 thoroughbreds that were malnourished and living in horrible conditions. He was one of the lucky ones! A majority of the horses purchased that day ended up at slaughter. Casey was best friend to Retired Co-Founder, Sue Balla for 26 years before he passed over at the age of 28. Sue's love for Casey inspired her to start two equine rescues ~ Field of Dreams Horse Rescue & Adoption in 2005 and Casey's Safe Haven in 2011. As Co-Founder of Casey's Safe Haven, Sue wants to ensure that Casey's spirit lives on forever as his rescue and success story are repeated many times over through the equines.

Casey’s Safe Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit holistic equine rescue dedicated to healing horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules in need. We will accept equines from animal control facilities, pony ride facilities, horses being retired from lesson programs, police force, and the race track. We also accept healthy animals donated by loving owners that for reasons beyond their control can no longer provide care. Our mission is to be a part of the solution by educating the public on the responsibilities and proper care of each equine so they receive the respect and dignity they deserve as living beings. We are a group of dedicated volunteers teaming together to create a loving and caring environment for our “guests” to find hope so they can heal in mind, body and spirit. Our mission is to help every equine that comes through our doors find a loving family where they can spend the rest of their lives.

Equine Sponsors are one of the most important lifelines for our rescued equines. Some of our special needs equines may live out the rest of their days in the sanctuary part of Casey’s. Being a monthly equine sponsor helps pay for the supplements, medicine, farrier, and veterinary bills for these special needs equines. And it helps us with our budget to know that we are receiving this monetary donation on a monthly basis. An Equine Sponsorship is fully tax deductible and can be cancelled at any time.
