Meet our Team

Amid the devastation of the last several years of the worst fires in California  history, LHSHR has been a first-responder, working with EVAC  teams to pull animals from the raging infernos and getting them to safety.

1999 - Betsy purchases a "sound" horse for her daughter out of the newspaper, and discovers the animal has been horribly abused. // Betsy connects with North Bay Horse Rescue and Welfare about similar cases, and ends up as the group's Vice President.

Seeing the incredible need for animal rescue, Betsy leases 20 acres in Sonoma County home, and creates a  sanctuary. In 2004, she finds a lovely property with a house, 4 acres and a 1947 barn, and LHSHR has a forever home.

An exceptionally talented, kind farrier who treats all our horses with respect, never hesitating to respond to emergencies.

The amazing team at Sonoma Marin Veterinary Services is on-call 24/7 for all emergencies, plus handles all our regular care including dental and vaccinations.

Betsy has made so many trips to the UC Davis Center for Equine Health, that it's joked she has her own parking spot. LHSHR's precious animals receive premium care.
