Founded in 2022 by Nicole and Jordan Paige, Serenity Oaks Equine Sanctuary was born from a shared love for horses and a deep recognition of a critical need: compassionate aftercare for retired racehorses. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Plymouth, Michigan, we are dedicated to offering a second chance through aftercare, rehabilitation, and retraining for Thoroughbreds and other horses in need of healing and hope.

At Serenity Oaks, our mission is simple yet profound: every Thoroughbred deserves a safe place to rest, recover, and discover new purpose. We specialize in providing aftercare for off-the-track Thoroughbreds and retirement for broodmares, offering each horse individualized care tailored to their unique physical and emotional needs. For those who cannot be adopted due to age or medical conditions, we proudly offer lifelong sanctuary—ensuring that no horse is ever forgotten or left behind.

Rehabilitation at Serenity Oaks goes beyond physical recovery. Our dedicated team nurtures both the body and the spirit, guiding every horse through a journey of renewal. We work to restore health, confidence, and vitality—preparing many for second careers as beloved companions, show partners, or therapy horses. When ready, we carefully match them with loving homes where they can continue to thrive and share their gifts with the world.

Beyond aftercare, Serenity Oaks extends its mission of healing to people as well. Through equine-assisted psychotherapy and counseling, our licensed professionals help individuals who have experienced trauma—such as PTSD, grief, or domestic violence—find solace, connection, and empowerment through the wisdom and empathy of our horses.

Community is at the heart of all we do. We invite the public to join us in our mission—through volunteering, sponsorship, education, and adoption. Every contribution helps us provide essential veterinary care, nourishment, and safe shelter for the animals who depend on us. As a transparent and trusted nonprofit, we remain deeply committed to accountability and integrity in all that we do.

Led by Nicole and Jordan Paige, Serenity Oaks embodies compassion in action—a place where horses and humans heal together, and where every story has the chance to end with hope.

At Serenity Oaks Equine Sanctuary, every Thoroughbred’s second chance begins with love.
