Greystone has no paid employees only gracious volunteers and devoted family members that work hard to provide our horses with everything they need to recover, rehabilitate and re-learn a new way of life.
Greystone started out as a small farm in 2003 owned by Todd and Laura Hudson.
In 2006, Bud and Carolyn Waltz, moved to Rising Sun and purchased the farm which is now Greystone. In 2008 we became incorporated as Greystone Equine Rescue & Rehabilitation Inc.
Our Board Of Directors is still growing, but currently consists of Dr. Carolyn Waltz, President; Carroll( Bud ) Waltz, Vice President, Treasurer, Laura Hudson, Secretary, and members Kyle Kelly, Scott Wilkinson and Jen Waltz, Donna Zeimer, Cindy Fox, and Etta Burton.
We hope to grow our Board as our farm grows so that we may better serve the population of horses in need!

Founder, Todd Hudson, Laura's husband of 20+ years, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in 2014, seven short months after moving to Florida.

In the future Laura plans to expand the rescue and start a fund in Todd's name to help support their efforts at Greystone.
