Horse Sanctuary

A forever home on Texas ground.

In loving memory

Dedicated to Guinn Sharpe

Guinn’s bond with horses was not something she learned. It was something she carried her whole life. That love is the reason this sanctuary exists.

Every horse that comes here is home. For good.

Our mission

A forever home

SDCC is also a horse sanctuary, not a rescue with a revolving door. When a horse comes to us, this is their home for the rest of their natural life.

Our 44-acre ranch gives them open pasture, proper nutrition, and consistent daily care. Every horse here gets what it needs to live out its life in comfort.

The journey here

The day they arrive

We work with local law enforcement, placement agencies, and individuals who can no longer provide care, building relationships so that every horse has somewhere to go.

However they get here, the moment they step off that trailer, this is home. For good.

A sanctuary story

Scruffy

Scruffy came off the trailer on February 5, 2026, thin enough that you could count his ribs. Good hay, steady feed, dental work, and daily attention did the rest. By June he had filled out and his coat was shining.

Run with integrity

RancherRob continues to run SDCC the way it was established: with dignity, respect, and integrity. Every animal here is a reflection of those values.

Help for horses

See a horse in trouble?

If you believe a horse is being neglected or abused, report it. In Texas, cruelty to livestock animals, including failing to provide food, water, or care, is a crime under Penal Code section 42.09, and local law enforcement investigates.

Report it

  • If an animal is in immediate danger, call 911.
  • In Freestone County, call the Freestone County Sheriff’s Office at 903-389-3236.
  • Elsewhere in Texas, call your county sheriff or local animal control.

What to tell them

  • The address or exact location
  • How many horses, and what you saw: no water, no feed, injuries, very thin animals
  • Dates and times you saw it
  • Photos taken from a public road or with permission. Do not go onto private property.

Can’t care for your horse?
