GREENVILLE — Unbridled Sanctuary, a nationally accredited equine rescue facility in Greenville, will open its gates for “Brunch in the Barn: Honoring 21 Years of Sanctuary” on Sunday, Sept. 21, from noon to 4 p.m.

The not-for-profit group has saved over 500 abused and abandoned horses, donkeys, and mules.
