The Golden Carrot is a 501c3 Public Benefit Charity, and thus donations are tax deductible - IRS # 33-0802619

THIS IS A FOREVER HOME FOR OLDER AND MANAGEABLY DISABLED HORSES.  THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION.
THE GOLDEN CARROT HORSES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE  FOR  SPONSORSHIP. As a sponsor, you can help these wonderful old horses live a graceful retirement to the end.

      Some of the horses here at TGC were badly neglected and deemed unworthy of their owner's love, attention and even the most basic care before they were rescued. Some were sent to slaughter via auction.  

     Some have been retired here by people whose life situation changed so dramatically, they could no longer help their old friends. Many of those people still send monthly money to help their equine buddies, but it is often not enough to support them entirely.

      However they get here, each one of these horses, as well as their predecessors and successors deserve to be loved, respected and properly cared for until the end.... 

        The Golden Carrot is dedicated to meeting the needs of these magnificent horses, but we need your help.    More donations are needed to support these horses and help more.  Feed prices have escalated in the last two years to nearly twice what they were, due to rising fuel costs, and the grotesque trend amongst farmers to grow corn for fuel, instead of food.  With alfalfa and grass fields being replaced with housing developments, and being destroyed by the spate of natural disasters and droughts plaguing our nation, there is no real hope that feed prices will go down.   Golden Carrot horses can be fed for $125 per month apiece.  Its a lot less than it costs to feed a human being for the same time.  Only a dollar a day from enough people can really help.  Can you help?

     The Golden Carrot is also a resource for the community. Many of the horses thrive on gentle work.  They offer a lifetime of education and seasoning. If you will do some chores, such as cleaning stalls, fixing fences, grooming,  and exercising the horses, Casey will give you riding lessons. In addition, Casey will give riding lessons for money at TGC or at your own place, and also equine massage, which are some of the ways she supports those TGC horses who are not sponsored.  In addition, TGC tries to help place horses who don't fit the mission statement here - sound horses, young horses, breeding horses.  Look to the right to see what you need to provide Casey, so she can get the word out about your horse.

Please Help the Golden Carrot Horses 

     $125 per month will sponsor a horse - if you or your office, or your class, or your friends can pool a few dollars a month, you can help provide a comfortable retirement for these sweethearts.  If you can only afford $65 per month that is a "partial" sponsorship, and also helps. 

Donate via check; or credit card. You can send a check monthly, every three months, twice a year - your choice. Or you can schedule a regular donation via credit card by clicking above on the "Please Help" link. Horses needing sponsorship are listed below - contact Casey if you can help one of these deserving horses.

  Meet the Horses

We now have 32 horses at The Golden Carrot.  

For references to other facilities or help in placing your horse, PROVIDE A PHOTO, history including age, breeding, training, size, temperament and all injuries/medical conditions, and whether you can provide any support and/or transport. 

The Golden Carrot works with the Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue (SCTR) to quarantine their horses rescued from auction/feedlot settings. These horses are often available for adoption - so if you're looking, give us a call to see who is ready for their new forever home.
