Building foundations for second chances, together.

At Bluestem we rehabilitate at-risk horses and livestock and prepare them for sound, lasting partnerships in their next homes. Donations keep hay in the feeders, grain in the bins, hooves trimmed, bodies healed, and shelters standing against Kansas wind and weather. They also support the slow work of training and the passing down of animal and land knowledge to the next generation of rural stewards. Every dollar carries weight here — funding the quiet, daily work that turns survival into stability and gives animals a real chance at a permanent future.

You can become a part of our mission of second chances by donating today. Support our daily work by contributing to daily operations or deepen your impact by becoming a Bluestem Keeper. Our Bluestem Keepers sustain long-term animal rehabilitation and training as well as our community outreach programs.
