HOC Rose Sanctuary Rescue

HOC Rose Sanctuary Rescue (HOC Rose), established in 2016, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Stacy Minnesota.  HOC Rose is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of blind horses, long term care for hard to adopt blind horses.  We share our knowledge and tools with the horse community on taking care of blind horses. We are their advocate and voice. Blind Horses can have the same wonderful life as any other seeing horses if given the chance to learn to cope, adjust and thrive as a blind horse.  www.hocrosesanctuaryrescue.org.  Please contact HOC Rose through our email address for any questions or donations at hocrose@gmail.com.

The average annual cost to support each horse is $1,500. We fundraise year-round but since Covid-19 we’ve had to try to rely on donations alone, which is barely enough to keep us afloat.  

 Find us on Facebook at “HOC Rose Sanctuary Rescue” and learn how blind horses are living full lives. HOC Rose recently started posting Blind Horse Owner’s stories every Sunday. Stories told by their owners in their own words of how they discovered their horse were going blind. They together coped, adjusted and thrived with their blind horses. Now they want to share their stories in hopes of helping more blind horses and horse owners thrive together.  

On HOC Rose Facebook page, anyone can join our group “Blind Horse Mentor” a forum to ask any blind horse related questions. We have several Blind Horse Mentors in that group available to help with any questions or concerns.  

HOC Rose will continue to advocate for the blind horses.  Please consider donating so we can continue our work which is changing the stigma on the blind horses.
