Sometimes life changes in ways no one expects.

This week, we received a 45-day notice of lease termination for the pasture that has been home to Dragon Stables for the past four years. This is a no-fault termination—our landowner has experienced significant personal life changes and has made the difficult decision to place the property on the market.

We completely understand and support her decision, and we’re incredibly grateful for the years she has allowed our horses a safe place to heal.

For many of our rescued horses, this pasture has been the first place they’ve truly been able to decompress. It’s where they’ve learned to trust again, recover from neglect, and slowly return to work. Our Barn Buddies program has also flourished here, giving our horses room to roam while still having access to the indoor arena next door during Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather.

Now, we have 45 days to determine our next chapter.

At this time, we don’t know the purchase price if we have the opportunity to buy the property, and we don’t yet know where we’ll relocate if purchasing isn’t possible.

Here’s how you can help:

🐴 If you know of available property, we’re looking for:
• At least 15 acres
• Existing perimeter fencing (or the ability to install/cross-fence)
• Permission for minor improvements such as run-in shelters, gravel around water areas, and temporary fencing
• Space for a portable round pen and riding area
• Ideally located within reasonable distance of Stillwater, Oklahoma

💙 If you have connections with landowners, real estate professionals, agricultural lenders, grant opportunities, or donors who may be interested in helping preserve our mission, we’d love to hear from you.

Please keep us in your thoughts as we work through the next several weeks. While this wasn’t the news we expected, our commitment to the horses hasn’t changed. No matter where we end up, we’ll continue providing the second chances they deserve.

If you can help in any way—or simply by sharing this post—it could make all the difference.

Thank you for standing beside Dragon Stables through every chapter of our journey. ❤️
