KGUN 9's Giving Project spotlights Moksha Sanctuary, a haven for wild horses in southeastern Arizona. The sanctuary, led by Crystal Field, aims to expand its horse population and introduce a groundbreaking 'Healing by way of Horse' program. This initiative will utilize the therapeutic power of mustangs to aid individuals with PTSD, veterans, and others seeking healing. Field emphasizes the need for donations to make this dream a reality, enabling the sanctuary to become self-sufficient, rescue more horses, and provide essential services.
This month's KGUN 9 giving project nonprofit is dedicated to saving wild horses in our state. Moksha Sanctuary near Pearce in Cochise County is currently home to 23 wild horses. With your help, they hope to expand that number—and expand the programs they offer. Crystal Field, Moksha Sanctuary's executive director, is getting the word out about Arizona's wild horses and their dwindling numbers. She saves them from an uncertain future by bringing them to her southeastern Arizona sanctuary.
Field would like to add to the number of rescued horses the sanctuary houses, and she has plans to begin a program for people to interact with them. 'Healing by way of Horse', for PTSD, veterans or just like anyone who needs to feel the healing power of horses, which is something I strongly believe in,' said Field, explaining her plans to me. Field also tells me she needs help realizing this dream. She believes that with the 'Healing by way of Horse' program incorporating these majestic mustangs, Moksha Sanctuary will then be able to generate revenue and become self-sufficient. 'Really just helping us with donations to get that up and running so that we can become self-sufficient and expand and rescue more,' said Field.
