Our Story

"I have always had a lifelong dream of starting a rescue farm. From an early age I knew that saving animals was my calling."

- Lesley, Founder of Bluemont

The road to bluemont

We purchased our dream farm in Colts Neck, NJ and began renovations.

This included a much needed updating of the barn, run in sheds and paddocks.

Shortly after moving in, we got a call about a horse named Roxy that needed a forever home.

Roxy is a beautiful 17.3 hand imported Hanoverian who had a successful jumping career for many years. Unfortunately, she wasn’t offered a soft place to land for her retirement by any of her previous owners. She was no longer “useful” in the horse community because chronic lameness and arthritis prevented her from being able to do a job. If Roxy’s impeccable breeding, world class training and amazing personality couldn’t secure her future in a private home then what does that mean for the thousands of other horses that find themselves displaced every day?

We began tirelessly researching to educate ourselves on how horses find themselves on hard times.

We were shocked to find out that horses are often treated like sports equipment and discarded when they are no longer “useful”. Unfortunately, the average horse has 7 different owners in their lifetime. Approximately 100k horses are exported to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered each year. 

Roxy sparked a passion, and our family felt compelled to step up and get involved on a deeper level.

We wanted to make a real impact by taking in unwanted and injured horses who need a forever home. Their sanctuary has grown quickly and is now home to horses, donkeys, ponies and a giant draft mule named Moses. Our entire family works the farm and cares for our animals everyday. 

Our horses live with their hooves on the ground and sleep under the stars.

They live in small herds and bond deeply with one another as horses should. They also have  access to fresh hay or grass at all times and are fed a nutrient dense grain free diet. Additionally they receive extensive veterinary care and rehabilitation.

Our goal is to spark change and make an impact nation-wide.

In addition to managing our own sanctuary, we network with other rescues and help place at risk horses into qualified homes all over the country everyday. 

Bluemont is passionate about providing a natural environment for all of their equines to thrive.
