Testimonials

"I adopted a saddlebred mare from Serenity Saviors and the experience from the first communication until the delivery of my fabulous horse was nothing but spectacular. The care and dedication they give to their saved horses is evident from every aspect of the business. They really work with you and help you choose the horse that best fits your needs. They are not just trying to adopt out a horse but really try to fine them a Furever home. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a rescue!" ~ Lisa

"I just met these wonderful people....They are truly an inspiration for all animal lovers ... they give their whole lives for these abandoned babies...they live it ....and breathe it... I’ve been following them on Facebook for sometime now... they inspired me to try to make a difference for some of these orphans ...I rescued two horses a few months ago and keep them at Serenity.... they couldn’t ask for a better home.... and I’m sure I couldn’t find one .... thank you for being such selfless people..." ~ Marianne

"The care that goes into each and every horse is the best, the facilities are always managed well,horse's always well groomed and fed. The support they give back into the community and our soldiers." ~ Joyce 

"I would hands down recommend this rescue to any one. Whether adopting, taking lessons, or even volunteering. What they do to help these horses is so amazing. The time, care, patience, and love they give is strong. They helped me with my anxiety and depression. Before I started saddle seat lessons, I was constantly feeling bouts of depression, but after spending time with these horses it's been a lot easier on me. They not only wanna help save these beautiful animals but also help people as well. They are amazing in everything they do!!" ~ Heather 

"These folks are not only very dedicated, but they are both experienced horsemen. When dealing with horses, you need that particular combination to ensure proper care and placement of your charges. They work tirelessly to rescue and place their horses and they often use their rescues in smaller horse shows to encourage adoptions and bring attention to the Saddlebreds that they rescue. They also trailer horses throughout the country, thus helping many other rescued horses reach their destinations safely and quickly. Time is often of the essence where rescues are concerned and I have never seen Cherina and Allen hesitate to assist, when there is a need. We are very fortunate to have them in the state of Florida." ~ Elissa

"I am proud to support Serenity Saviors. They are so appreciative of everything you do for them, as well as every dollar donated. I have personally seen them step up for many horses that would have gone to slaughter. In addition, they are knowledgeable horse people who know how to rehab abused and neglected horses and then place them in appropriate homes." ~ Anonymous supporter

"I joined Allen and Cherina At Serenity Saviors Horse Rescue as a volunteer in August 2017 after moving from the U.K. I cannot praise them highly enough for the commitment and dedication to these horses. Often nursing them back to full health and finding them their forever homes. I am honored to call them my friends and I love every minute I spend with them and their horses, donkeys, goats, dogs, and cats at Serenity Saviors." ~ Franny

"I cannot say enough good things about these people. They are totally dedicated to, and work selflessly at, saving equines and finding them their forever loving homes. We recently adopted a mini mule from them, she was relinquished to them from a person who had rescued her from a feedlot, then fell on hard times.  We are so happy to be able give this poor girl the love she deserves!!! And Serenity has been very helpful to us as we work at regaining this animal's trust in humans. Thank you folks for all you do!" ~ Iris

"I contacted Serenity Saviors seeking a safe haven for two bonded older horses who seemed destined for the kill pen. I did a great deal of research to find a true "rescue" organization dedicated to the welfare of the horse. After several phone conversations with Allen and Cherina, I was convinced that these were knowledgeable horse people who were sympathetic to the rescue situation, and to my considerable relief and gratitude the horses moved to Serenity. I am impressed with the variety of opportunities Allen and Cherina make available to veterans, children, and adults with special abilities, lessons, fun shows, rescue runs, rehoming efforts, fundraising, and regular communications. As a lifelong horse person, I know that this time is in addition to the demands of taking excellent care of the horses in their charge, many of them older and in various stages of rehabilitation. This is a remarkable organization!" ~ Lee

"I have adopted several horses from Serenity Saviors and have had nothing but great experiences! The passion and care they put into these horses is admirable. Not many people walk the walk. But here I can definitely say that what they say they will do and go above and beyond to save a horse and help a human also! It's is such an honor to know this organization and be directly linked to them through my horses." ~ Marion

"Visited Serenity Saviors for the first time last month, at their “May the horse be with you” event (May 2018). Great chatting with Allen and Cherina and walking around their farm. The horses are well kept, cared for and happy." ~Stanley

"Amazing people doing amazing things!! Allen and Cherina are truly dedicated to this cause." "I AGREE with all the wonderful great stories that have been posted. Allen and Cherina are extremely dedicated and like someone said, it shows and shines through their horses. There's nothing but love, passion, and dedicated hard work at Serenity Saviors and it is an honor to be able to volunteer and donate as I can. These horses are all so beautiful and Allen and Cherina are at the top of their game. They're not only helping the horses but they're helping me and they help adults also." ~ Tristine

"Drove 6 hours to visit Serenity saviors equine rescue & therapy center! well worth the trip!! Allen & Cherina are dedicated, compassionate & tireless people who love their horses and their community! Not only do they care for their horses but help others to learn, recover & save countless equines who would end up at slaughter houses! For their community, they offer young horse advocates an opportunity to care, ride & learn riding skills for these well trained horses who were considered throw away horse. Also help people who suffer from mental illness and PTSD symptoms to our veterans. They are a wonderful couple and certainly deserve the recognition of their program." ~ Denise

"I have had the opportunity to work with Serenity Saviors on occasions, and find them to be exceptional in their love of and care for equine." ~ MJ

"Serenity Saviors helped me pull my boy from a kill lot. After months of having him and loving him and training him I had a few life changes. They came from Florida no questions asked and brought him to their rescue. He's up for adoption but I hope and pray that one day we will meet again. These people go above and beyond and I will be forever grateful. I tear us as I wrote this." ~ Anonymous supporter

"Serenity Saviors are the most genuine, loving caring people. Not only do they do riding lessons but they travel all over the United States rescuing horses, donkeys, and goats from kill pens and from people that rather see the poor animals die. Then they take care of them.  Thank you Cherina and Allen for having such wonderful hearts and souls." ~ Sharon

"If I could give Serenity Saviors 5 million stars I would. Both Cherina and Allen are amazing people who have the biggest heart's. My daughter Michaela started her love of horses when she was about 2 years old, like most little girls she just wanted to ride horses, when she turned 6 years old she received the greatest gift from her Auntie, a gift certificate for riding lessons. We went around to a lot of the local farms only to be turned away, because 6 year olds don't have the attention span or dedication for riding and caring for horses. Well we found Serenity they welcomed us with open arms. Michaela was a very shy, quiet introverted little girl that would hide behind Mommy and Daddy. Cherina and Allen have both worked with and has shown Michaela that she is a smart, talented, confident and strong little lady who can do anything she sets her mind too. I do not have the words to describe what they have done for us... 


They rescue these amazing and beautiful creatures that people just toss aside like an old coffee cup. Serenity Saviors has rescued more than 200 Equines. They have been featured on a BayNews9 segment called "What's Right With Tampa Bay". I can't say it enough donate donate donate - money, time, and supplies - anything to help! Cherina and Allen work tirelessly with not only the rescue but they transport the rescued and other Equines professionally all across the country, and they teach the joy and responsibilities of being an Equestrian to try to raise funds for Serenity Saviors. 

Michaela rides Gracie who is one of the many horses rescued from the kill pens. The dedication and love Serenity Saviors has to these remarkable animal's is way beyond reproach... They give them (the horses) the second chance they deserve to be happy and loved, and they also give other people an opportunity to make a difference in these horses lives. I don't know about any body else, but I don't know where we would be without Serenity Saviors in our lives... They make a difference they touch so many hearts and lives. We love them and so will you..." ~ Lisa
