When Christine found at at 4yrs of age
that horses could be sold to slaughter and people would eat them in
other countries, she vowed to help them escape that fate.
Throughout her lifetime she has held to that solitary mission.
Join Amaryllis and help to change the
world for the horses.

Pictured above is Christine who is
the founder and president of Amaryllis, her daughter the ASPCA Kid of
the Year Rachel on the right and her most loyal volunteer Lisa on the
left. The mission to save
serviceably sound slaughter bound horses, offer sanctuary to retired or
special needs horses and educate children about animal care is a driving
force within them all.

We operate our western sanctuary on a portion of the land owned by
Barbara's family. Her own rescue is
www.equineguardians.com.
Currently four of our horses reside within the Ohio sanctuary and the
care they receive is wonderful. This ideal location will soon serve as a
"welcome ranch" as Barbara's gifts are realized.
A recent newspaper clipping
of Barbara, Cupid and a grateful horse-hugger. They were out
promoting equine slaughter awareness.

Thanks to these caring girls for standing their ground and demanding

are visiting him months later at Amaryllis where he was accepted.
