Who we are
Blue Star Equiculture is a vision born out of the hearts of like-minded individuals who feel the need to respond to the current, increasingly dire situation facing homeless horses, especially working draft horses.
Blue Star Equiculture is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Everyone involved has committed their time and resources to help the horses have the best healthcare, food, shelter, and love possible.
Blue Star Equiculture was co-founded in January 2009 by Pamela Rickenbach and Christina Hansen. They have surrounded themselves with a talented team of advisors, supporters, and volunteers.
