To be loved by a horse, or by any animal, should fill us with awe-
for we have not deserved it. ~Marion Garretty

My Name is Holly M. Leonard, I own and run Holiday Acres (with lots of help from my whole family!) what we do here is rescue horses as well as assist other rescues in Michigan and Indian., We rehabilitate, and re home these horses to the proper homes…. We mainly rescue horses, but we will take in any animal we can properly take care of that needs a helping hand. If we cannot take in the animal I can often help by finding the right rescue for that animal.
We are located right out side Sturgis, Michigan a quiet little area we call Sherman Mill. This is only a back yard rescue, we do not get state funding, so all the cost is out of pocket. But believe me when I tell you its money well spent!
**If you know of a horse or any animal that needs rescued please feel free to contact me. If you do decide to surrender your baby up to us, please feel assured that they will be loved and taken care of like they are my very own!**
*This is a video of what I like to do the most…just hanging out with my horses! You’ll see our newest rescue Pasha, Arabian mare…Shawnee MY Arabian, Pony Balonie (Josie) and of course a brand new permanent member of our family Ben..my boy’s Pony! you can see more pics of Ben on our horses page.*
***would like to give a huge thank you to ARF (animal rescue fund of st. joseph county) they have donated hay to our rescue horses!!!!!! http://arfund.homestead.com/arf.html Please visit this site and make a donation to help other rescues in St. Joseph county, MI!****
~A MILLION THANKS~
We would like to thank those who have helped with our cause.

Also a huge THANK YOU to Mr. Jodi Bales, a very nice neighbor of ours that is letting us use his 8 acres to graze our horses this summer. There are truly some wonderful people in this world!

A very special THANK YOU to Mr. Ed Slabaugh, Mr. Loren Kelley and the Sturgis family for allowing us to trail ride on their beautiful land. We are so excited to have over 500 acres of farm fields and trails to ride. Thank you again!
***Any donations are welcome and very appreciated. As the price of hay is so high and the cost of senior feed and weight gain for our older horses have almost doubled, it gets tougher to keep up with the things we need….***
