“When I started volunteering at Peaceful Acres several years ago, I was so impressed with the accomplishments of Nanci and her team of caregivers. They work hard to find the resources to rescue and care for horses, minis, donkeys, and mules, giving them a second chance after being abandoned, often in the slaughter pipeline. Nanci and her caregivers offer love, compassion, and a forever home for America’s forgotten equines. In addition, the rehabilitation work she has done to re-home equines eligible for adoption placement is nothing short of a miracle. Nanci’s work is inspiring, and it’s uplifting to know that such a beautiful piece of land in upstate New York is being utilized for this worthy endeavor.” -A

“I am so proud to be associated as a volunteer caregiver with this rescue sanctuary for horses, donkeys and mules. In addition to providing training and support for her valued volunteers, Executive Director Nanci Beyerl has devoted her life, heart, intelligence, education and resources toward providing a permanent, safe and healthy home for these majestic animals to live out their natural life span. These otherwise slaughter-bound equines would have had no chance of surviving because of thoughtless overbreeding, our society’s “throw-away” mentality and a general failure to plan for the animals’ retirement. Nanci uses her business acumen, her contacts in the rescue community and her partnership with outstanding veterinarians and equine specialists to assure stability and health for her equine residents. With her background in social work, she has developed several programs that give people of all ages and health needs a chance to interact with (the) animals in a beautiful environment. It is a true honor to be part of this humane work in progress. I invite you to join this worthwhile organization.”

“Just by volunteering for a few hours each week at PAH, I have found that it helps me physically and emotionally. I am proud to be a small part of the task of helping animals who have been rescued from horrible circumstances. Plus the fact that I’ve always loved horses and am learning so much about them!” -K.R.

“Eight months before I started volunteering at PAH, I broke my leg and had to have a few months of physical therapy. It was frustrating because I like to be active physically and mentally. When I started walking too much too soon, I experienced serious pain in both knees. I finally got a cortisone shot, which helped my knees, but I was still hesitant about walking and hurting them again. But now, as a volunteer at PAH, my physical confidence has improved, my mind gets a break from daily worries, and I am able to walk up the sloping road without pain! But it’s the feeling of calm and peace that has helped me most. The name “Peaceful Acres” brings not only peace to the horses, but also to me. I love being around the horses and cherish my time there with them.” -K.R

“I am a blogger so my more detailed writing will go there but in the 19 months since we been full time travelers and using Harvest Hosts frequently I can say this was our favorite stay as of now. There is so much hope and love at Peaceful Acres Horses. Over 300 horses, donkeys and mules life’s have been saved thanks to Nanci who is the heart and soul of this ranch. If you are in this area please chose them as they greatly benefit from any help we as campers can give. Nanci is a very gracious and generous host who will give you a background and why this matters so much.”

“Nanci is a wonderful person. Once we arrived she drove us up to the location and allowed us to decide how we wanted to set up our rigs. There were 3 of us traveling together with a 43’ Momentun, a 44’ River Stone, and a 40’ Tiffin. The location was level and there was room for all three of our rigs. The location was beautiful and we will not hesitate to return to this location.”
