Where the Heart Is

How you can help

United In Light, is a one of kind draft horse sanctuary located in Livingston, Montana that rescues the elder, abused and neglected draft horse breeds that would otherwise be sent to slaughter. We rescue all over the country,  the last chance draft breeds that can no longer drive or be ridden due to injuries. Most of the time, we rescue off the feedlot. These amazing horses are still young and vital and deserve to live out their lives without the chance of slaughter.  We allow the horses to live out the rest of their lives here at the ranch while facilitating in equine education and therapy programs to people of all ages and from all over the world.
UIL is a 501c3 Nonprofit organization and fully funded by public since 2003.

Your donation no matter the amount makes a draft size difference in helping to rescue another work horse, rehabilitation of the horse, educational programs and the great care these gentle giants so deservingly require after their years of hard work. Thank you for all your support!

Water issues. 
     $75 per automatic waterer unit gets replaced every couple years especial during winter with the sediment issues of the horse well. We are currently getting bids to place a filter to trap the sediment to decease the backup into the automatic waterers. We also need to dig a water well and system on the new expanded land.

Remodel Tractor
     One of the winters projects is getting our seized old Tractor up and running again by spring so this project is currently costing us around $3,000. 

Barn/Venue
     Part of our vision with the expanded land is to build a barn/venue so we can hold our classes and workshops all-year-round!! We also need to include an office instead of having it in our founders home. :)
