Build a Legacy of Hope

Hope's Legacy's Intake Barn

You can make a difference in the life of one more horse

Odin was the 80th equine brought into Hope's Legacy in 2021. He was adopted in September and has warmed the hearts of all who have met him at his new home, including his new best friend, pictured here, who visits him every day.

A Few Words from Maya When I founded Hope's Legacy in 2008, I dreamed of the day when the Rescue would have its own farm. It would give the Rescue a solid and stable base for the future. Part of that dream has been realized with the purchase of Castle Rock Farm.

As we move forward with Castle Rock Farm, we are building a resource that fits the special needs of rescue horses.

The next step is the Intake Barn.

This barn has been designed with input from our veterinarians, and based on many years of visiting barns and asking the owners what their most and least favorite features are.

After reviewing several builders, we've chosen George Abetti and Geobarns to be our build partner. If you have visited Pippin Hill, you know George’s work. One of their goals is less than 1% waste in building the outer shell of a building, which fits with Hope’s Legacy’s responsible land management goal. Geobarns provided a competitive bid, and they honor our mission. We look forward to starting the Barn build in October 2022.

The Intake Barn will allow us to care for more critical horses every year, do more when asked to help with large seizure cases, make for a safer work environment for our vets and farriers, and provide housing for an on site farm manager. We are so excited to be taking this next step!

You can make the difference in the lives of more horses and donkeys! I hope you will join us in this important project.

Hope's Legacy's Intake Barn Hope’s Legacy’s first large-scale building project at Castle Rock Farm is our Intake Barn. This is a 2-story, 40'x72' structure that includes 8 stalls, a wash stall, utility room, feed room, and medical supply room on the first floor. The second floor includes living space for a future Farm Manager + a rental unit.

The Intake Barn budget is $687,700, including site prep.

Site work begins Spring, 2022 and barn construction is slated for October, 2022.

Why this Barn is needed: The need for our services is increasing every year.

Separated stalls provides a place to rest for starved and injured equines, like Bobby Earl, pictured below.

Provide quarantine space to prevent the spread of contagious disease, housing for large rescue events, and prevent bullying during feeding.

It’s a safer, more comfortable environment for our caregivers.

It increases our capacity by 18 new horses every year.

Who the Intake Barn Helps Virginians. The average owner surrendering an equine is female, 60+, low, mid, or fixedincome, owns 2+ equines, and is in crisis.

Horses like Roman and Tuff. Roman was a body score of 1, and Tuff has a hard time getting around on his deformed hooves.

Horses like Karl, who needed 2 weeks in a confined space to recover from an abcess.

Horses like Hillie, who needed 4 months to recover her health and body strength after being starved and neglected.

"This is my Mom, Anna Catherine Capaul Scanlan. She grew up during the Great Depression and raised 3 of her 6 children alone while my Dad fought in World War II. She taught us to work hard, use what we had, and to not complain.

She wasn't really a horse person, but my brother Mike Scanlan, my sister Pat Gromak, and I wanted to honor her in some permanent way. We are naming an attached paddock in her honor. " Rosi Beachy We'd like to hear your story if you choose to name a part of the Intake Barn.
