Serenity Equine Rescue is an approved 501c3 nonprofit organization horse rescue located in Virginia. Serenity Equine Rescue's story began when Kyra met Bernie. Bernie was introduced to Kyra as a potential lease horse, Bernie was malnourished, anemic, and suffering from painful ulcers. Even in Bernie's unstable medical condition, he was sweet and calm. Bernie was a fighter, but he needed someone to advocate for him before he couldn't fight anymore. As Kyra worked more closely with Bernie through training and physical rehabilitation, his true personality began to shine. Bernie blossomed into a playful, mischievous, and loving horse. Kyra's work with Bernie exposed her to how many rescue horses need our help and how much one person can help an animal heal.
