Every horse will one day fall into the non-rideable, companion-only category. There is a never-ending supply of these horses. Unfortunately, the reality for most horses in America is that when they are no longer rideable, they are viewed as less valuable than their riding counterparts. Because of this industry-wide perception, horses will pass through multiple owners in their lifetime. And every time a horse changes hands, that horse is at risk of landing in unsafe or unkind hands. Or in the worst-case scenario on a truck bound for slaughter for human consumption. 

CHR is passionate about taking care of these horses who have given so much over their lives. Our new Companion Connection program was formed to directly address the challenges facing non-riding horses by finding permanent, safe solutions for each individual more efficiently.
