Our Story
Jupiter Rising Equine Sanctuary is named after a mare, named Jupiter, that was mistreated by the people who were supposed to care for her. A rescue stepped in and bought her back from near death. Yet despite all the rescue's love and care, Jupiter passed away before reaching her forever home. JRES's mission is to honor all those horses who have dedicated their lives to humans and human needs, yet treated without the loving respect they deserve, with a place of life long sanctuary- a soft landing- so that they can rest and find peace. In return, they inevitably continue to gift humans with their loving, empowering energy.
