Our Horses – Daisy Chain Sanctuary

Daisy

"It starts with the horses and was inspired by Daisy, our namesake. Daisy was born in my arms with a heart on her face and love in her eyes, little did I know she would take me on this journey. At 5 months old it was determined that Daisy had a genetic disorder called cerebellar

Bobbie

Bobbie is the matriarch of Daisy Chain, she is Daisy’s Mom and our Founder, Susan’s “heart horse”. Bobbie has been in several limited distance trail rides and loves to take long trail rides with Susan. She is 21 years old but you would never guess that by looking at her. She is a fast horse.

Pickles

Pickles came to Daisy Chain from the Colorado Horse Rescue Network in June of 2021. She is a great mascot and loves her new job helping kids learn how to communicate. She also comes with us to events and visits orphanages, nursing homes and hospitals to brighten up everyone’s day.

“It starts with the horses and was inspired by Daisy, our namesake. Daisy was born in my arms with a heart on her face and love in her eyes, little did I know she would take me on this journey. At 5 months old it was determined that Daisy had a genetic disorder called cerebellar abiotrophy that would deem her “useless” in the horse community. She is far from useless and has inspired Daisy Chain.” Susan Parker

The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and freedom.

Testimonials

Daisy Chain was an awesome program for both myself, as a volunteer, and my 11 year old daughter, as a participant. My daughter had a great time learning about animals, nature and why it's important to respect both as well as her peers. I highly recommend Daisy Chain to anyone and everyone!

Daisy Chain Sanctuary is dear to my five children and I with special needs; to find an accepting place that is healthy and fun, therapeutic and challenging is very important to us. We are blessed to have Daisy Chain Sanctuary in our lives!

Working with the kids at Daisy Chain was a wonderful experience. I was able to see growth within many of the children from day 1 & day 6. I saw some find their voices and some overcome fears. Some children found ways to connect with humans after learning to connect with the animals.
