The Glen Ellen Vocational Academy, Inc., northern California's only Thoroughbred retirement and rehabilitation facility, has again received grants from the Brennan Equine Welfare Fund of The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (BEWF) and from the Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA).
Founded in 1995, Glen Ellen Vocational Academy, Inc. (GEVA inc.) is a rehabilitation/retirement foundation and equine sanctuary accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) and Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA). Pam Berg and a few dedicated people operate the all-volunteer nonprofit organization.
“We are an all species sanctuary,” said Berg, President and Founder of GEVA, which also attracts and is home to a variety of wildlife that have found refuge here and mingle well with the horses. “We were miraculously spared in the firestorm of last year when the flames turned just short of the farm where the horses were. The sanctuary was literally just that.
Berg added, “We are one of the few accredited equine sanctuaries in the country, and we appreciate the support we have received from the BEWF and TCA. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, all money we raise is spent directly for the horses.”
