I'm giving Duchess Sanctuary a solid four stars, plus one more because anytime an organization strives to help neglected, abandoned, or abused animals; it deserves extra recognition. If you're an equine fan, I'm betting it's a much higher rating.
The size of the facility seems more than adequate to support the horses living there, and the hospital barn that houses the "special needs" horses appears to be top-notch.
Pastures that hold the general population are splendiferously fenced and maintained to keep the horses safe and secure.
Duchess Sanctuary's staff and volunteers are all friendly, and they genuinely seem to really enjoy working there. Their hard work provides the horses a healthy and comfortable place to thrive in.
The care and attention given to the horses is impressive. The medical attention alone is remarkable. If you're in the area, this horse sanctuary is worth visiting.
Duchess Sanctuary operates on a "by appointment only" basis, so plan your trip ahead of time.
