Help Mason Heal – Your Support is Urgently Needed!
This winter has been especially harsh for our beloved Thoroughbred, Mason. He has endured two bouts of colic, with the most recent requiring hospitalization at UC Davis for several days. His lifesaving care has cost Amadon Hills over $10,000—a significant expense for our small nonprofit.
We rely on the generosity of our community to continue providing the best care for Mason and other rescued horses. We urgently need your support to cover these expenses and ensure we’re prepared for future medical needs.
Please consider donating today. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.

In addition to financial support, we need experienced volunteers to care for Mason in the evenings (four nights per week M-Thr). This role requires experienced horsemanship, as you will be responsible for mucking, cleaning, blanketing, and feeding hay, grain, and supplements.
If you can help, please reach out to us at info@amadonhills.org.
Thank you for being part of Mason’s journey and supporting Amadon Hills!
A Room with a View
Located at Valley Brook Equestrian Center in Napa, California, our intimate barn shares a fence line with one of Napa Valley's renowned vineyards. It offers stunning views of the Vaca Mountain Range. Our horses live in a place where the environment promotes peace and well-being.
In preparation for receiving Remi and Ice, our barn underwent a facelift. Projects included: Restaining the barn's wood to help with weather protection and adding paneling to enclose the covered paddock, providing a dry space during winter and a shaded area during summer. We installed a large, standing watering trough to promote optimal horse health. We regraded the paddock for proper drainage and added new footing for optimal hoof health.
Even though these changes have been made, barn health is a constant; donations would be greatly appreciated to help maintain the horses living space.
Amadon Hills would like to thank Jim Felder with FiXXiT - Home Improvement for Volunteering his time and materials for the barn upgrade.
Please help our cause - by helping our horses - by donating.
Did You Know
At Amadon Hills, we are determined to help educate the public on the importance of equine aftercare.
Were you aware of the 18,143 Thoroughbreds born in the U.S. last year, only 5 percent, or 907 horses, will have the opportunity to race?* Only 20 horses, or 0.001% of each foal crop, will have a chance to compete in the run for the Roses. The fate of thousands of horses without a career in the industry raises serious concerns for their welfare. Public expectation is high that these horses will be appropriately cared for, not least because they have been bred and used for sport and profit in a multi-billion dollar industry.
The truth is that some are cared for and live fruitful lives, but many are categorized as 'wastage'! At Amadon Hills, we are dedicated to the well-being of our country's Thoroughbreds—the retired successes and the less fortunate ones that have been overlooked. Please help us help the horses.
