Educating the public about the plight of equines through rescue and sanctuary
We welcome visitors to our Sanctuary Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. We’ll be happy to give you a tour, showing you the horses and burros of Redwings and telling you their stories. Please call ahead to check the availability and weather. We start the last tour at 3:00 p.m. Tours on Saturday are available by appointment only. Please call the ranch office at 831-386-0135 to schedule a tour.
