Shedrow Farm History
Shedrow farm represents a single, continuous legacy founded by Margo Sutter, evolving through three distinct names over nearly two decades. The property's mission began around 2007 as Mid America Horse Rescue, focusing strictly on standard equine rescue and rehoming, inspired by a horse named Sir Anthony, who faced an uncertain future after suffering a broken knee on the racetrack. As the farm expanded its purpose beyond basic rescue, it formally incorporated as the 501(c)(3) non-profit Equus Rescue and Therapy in 2009, transitioning the property into a dual-purpose healing center that paired retired racehorses with at-risk youth and military veterans. Today, while maintaining that foundational legal status, the organization publicly operates as Equus Shedrow Farm, a horse sanctuary that has transformed the property into a permanent safe haven for dozens of rescued horses, solidifying the farm's high-visibility community outreach, volunteer networks, and specialized racetrack sanctuary programs.
