Colorado Horse Rescue (CHR) is dedicated to the necessary work of creating safe solutions for horses in Colorado and beyond. Horses regularly enter our gates from a variety of vulnerable situations. While many of the horses we welcome come from responsible private owners needing to rehome them, we also serve horses coming from animal control seizures, retirement from dude ranches through The Annie Project, the local livestock auction, partner rescues, and more. Often, these horses have significant medical and/or behavioral needs that require specialized care. CHR’s diverse team of equine professionals considers each horse’s needs on an individual basis and works tirelessly to give each member of the herd a chance to thrive.
Daily, our 50-acre property operates at capacity, providing industry-leading care to 60 horses. Our robust placement process focuses on quality over quantity and ensures each horse finds a viable, loving match. Whether it be in a short-term foster home or with a permanent adoptive family, we believe that the horses in our care deserve to find a safe, sustainable solution that’s right for them – however long it takes.
CHR is accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, an EQUUS Foundation Mentor organization, and an ASPCA Right Horse partner. CHR maintains a Platinum GuideStar rating and a Top-Rated Nonprofit Award from GreatNonprofits.
