Liberty’s Legacy Inc. Dba Journey with Equus
We are passionate about saving the lives of horses, mules, and donkeys.
We are a bit different than the mainstream equine rescues. We focus on the misfits.
These are the sweet souls that would otherwise be forgotten, forsaken, abandoned, euthanized or sent to slaughter.
These are the sweet, sentient souls that someone deemed no longer valuable, due to injury, health issues, or mental issues
which, they believe, makes them a danger to people and unfit for rehoming.
We believe every life deserves sanctuary and a second chance.
We take these special creatures in and help them heal. We give them the time, peace, compassion, and love that they deserve.
Over time, each individual horse, mule, pony and donkey will reveal to us the next step in their journey.
Some will be placed into wonderful forever homes,
some will simply retire with us and never fear being abandoned or abused again.
Some will go on to use their special gifts to help people heal emotional traumas through the horse-human connection,
consequently providing sanctuary and a second chance for humans.

To raise awareness around the gifts that equines have to give outside of being ridden
To build a compassionate, caring organization that is driven to help save the lives of at risk equines and change the lives of people.
Through healing, horses and humans are able to embrace and share their gifts with the world. We raise awareness to the gifts horses have to share outside of being ridden. People are equipped to unpack their baggage, heal and move towards a positive future. They are then emboldened to step into their truth, claim their power and shine their light out into the world - thus becoming an inspiration for others to do the same. We are creating a ripple effect, through which we can start to help heal the world one life at a time. We focus on bringing people and horses together under one organization and our JWE (Journey with Equus) community commits to having impact, living a legacy and changing lives, so that we leave the world a better place than we found it.
Founded in 2015, by Candice Ensign. and officially named a 501(3)c non profit organization in 2015,
Journey with Equus started out as a traditional rescue, with focus on helping abandoned and at risk horses rehabilitate and find homes. What showed up was a need for the horses that were not a fit for rehoming to have a safe place to land and get a second chance.
The Founders childhood and young adult experiences with horses profoundly influenced her mission for the organization. Her love for these majestic creatures and her background in coaching sparked an innovative idea, the idea of helping the horses who are not rideable, rehabilitate and then partner with human coaches to help those in need.
Today Journey with Equus continues to focus on the unhomable, and is continually building programs to help people heal, rediscover themselves and move towards a brighter future.
