In Memory of Patsy Rabstejnek
We are saddened by the recent passing of Patsy Rabstejnek. Patsy came to know Rosemary Farm Sanctuary through her daughter Marley, who has been a Board Member, volunteer and long time supporter. A generous philanthropist throughout her life, Patsy included Rosemary Farm among the many causes she supported, and was a regular donor in support of their work, rescuing horses in need and protecting them for life.
In lieu of flowers, Patsy's family is requesting donations be made in her memory to Rosemary Farm Sanctuary, to continue Patsy's generosity and kindness.
Patsy, a gregarious mini horse, was named in honor of Patsy Rabstejnek! Patsy (center front) was rescued by Rosemary Farm on Chrismas Eve 2020, along with her entire extended family. The horses were found starved and abandoned after a lifetime of neglect that nearly took their lives.
Harper, a senior Belgian mare, saved from slaughter after a lifetime of hard labor, is Staydopted by Patsy's daughter Marley. Blind in one eye, Harper has enjoyed nine years of care and comfort at Rosemary Farm, loved and honored for just being a horse.
About Rosemary Farm
At Rosemary Farm Sanctuary, our mission is to rescue horses in need, and protect them for life. We save equines from slaughter, neglect, and abuse. Most have been passed from owner to owner, never knowing a herd or consistency. When they arrive here, they are home. We make care decisions based on what is best for each horse and the sanctuary family. Our horses live in dynamic natural environments, in herd groups, creating vital bonds that are honored and protected. In addition, we educate horse owners and the general public about the wretched conditions many horses suffer, and how they can improve both the physical and emotional guardianship of horses.Rosemary Farm is 'Where horses get to be horses'.
