They will be respected.
The animal sanctuary Phillips has created is unlike anywhere else in the world.
The answer was clear to me before Phillips opened her mouth:Deeply, and with tremendous care.
For Phillips, that meant taking lifelong responsibility for the physical and emotional livelihood of these creatures.
I dont currently rehome the horses that I rescue.
…
These are costly responsibilities that require long-term care.
Im fearful that if I rehome the horses, their issues will not get addressed.
The solution was simple: So I created a sanctuary, laughs Phillips.
(Far from simple, but you get it: Saving Gracies was her calling.)

They will be respected.
We will not overwork them.
We willnevertreat them like theyre a commodity, Phillips says as tears well in her eyes.
