The 5 Freedoms Logo
The logo is based on the provided original concept by Aiden Bruce. At first glance, very noticeable, is the colour blue. A common symbol of freedom, used often to represent liberty in the design of national flags, read from left to right, the encompassing 5 blue horseshoes change from lightest to darkest - weakest to strongest - representing the progressive rehabilitation of the rescued animal.
Rehabilitation happens when considering all 5 aspects of the mission statement together, this all shades of blue add to the fully saturated darkest colour. A horse that has been gifted rehabilitation and the 5 freedoms emerges from the strength of the fully saturated horseshoe to comfort the smaller, more fragile horse. This horse takes on the colours of the less saturated blues. Importantly, the smaller horse is coloured with a gradient of zero blue saturation and slightly darkening. This signifies the transition into rehabilitation through the 5 freedoms and the visceral power of being in the presence of other healing horses.

When Brenda Brandolini invited Bev to her aunt's ranch 12 years ago, it re-ignited Bev's passion for horses and of the lessons learned from her grandfather about horse care. Brenda's degree in social work and her passion to help others was a perfect match with Bev's love of horses. Together, they built a sanctuary, where people could experience healing in a safe, nurturing environment; a place where rescued horses help to heal humans.
"Experiencing the transformative power of a relationship with our rescued horses is something I want to share with others."
