OUR CURRENT EVENTS & PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Sanctuary Warming
WE MOVED!!
This past June, The HNH Sanctuary moved to Herriman, Utah. We feel so excited and blessed to have the opportunity to impact this new community with our incredible rescue crew.
We are hosting a “Sanctuary Warming” think of it like a house warming but for horses! Entry is FREE, but we DO need you to sign up ahead of time so you have your waivers signed before checking in. Safety is always top priority at the sanctuary, right next to fun! We also want to make sure we have enough food, goodies and crafts for you and your family.

Downtown Hoedown: Fair & Gala
After 10 Years of Rescue, It's About Time We Celebrate!
On November 7, 2026, we're hosting our first large fundraiser to help build a new sanctuary set up for our current and future herd. Our goal is $45,000. when this goal is met, it will allow us to give the horses shelter, space to move, stable footing, and hay to make it more sustainable to bring more horses and humans together.
Since we've always been grassroots, we don't have major donors to "gala” with, so we're throwing a fanfare filled hoedown instead. This sanctuary has always been built by community and for community, so we want to celebrate our past and our future the same way.
The evening will include fair games, food, drinks, live music, and a silent auction. We'll spend time reflecting on everything we've accomplished, sharing our vision for what's ahead, and inviting others to partner with us as we continue this work. Most importantly, we'll take the time to thank Herd Heroes like you for believing not only in us, but in the herd we care for and the humans whose lives they continue to change.
Bringing a little country back to downtown Salt Lake City!
Gather & Graze Workshop: Bracelet Stack and Snack
