Blue Star Equiculture is a draft horse sanctuary and organic farm located at Burgundy Brook Farm in Palmer, Massachusetts. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered with the IRS and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Our mission is to provide retired working horses a sanctuary and homeless working horses the opportunity to be useful and positively improve their lives, while bringing education, equine awareness, skills and healing to the community and the environment
Blue Star Equiculture is a vision born out of the hearts of like-minded individuals who feel the need to respond to the current, increasingly dire situation facing homeless horses, especially working draft horses.
Blue Star Equiculture is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Everyone involved has committed their time and resources to help the horses have the best healthcare, food, shelter, and love possible.
Blue Star Equiculture was co-founded in January 2009 by Pamela Rickenbach and Christina Hansen. They have surrounded themselves with a talented team of advisors, supporters, and volunteers.
Blue Star Equiculture is also a working organic farm.
