Imagine a better

World For Horses

We are Colorado Horse Rescue, and we work to continuously reimagine what’s possible and create a reality where safe solutions exist for every horse.

COLORADO GIVES DAY 2024

Early giving for Colorado Gives Day begins on Friday, November 1st!

Colorado Gives Day (CGD) captures the goodwill of giving the season and unites Coloradoans in support of local nonprofits. Every gift to CHR directly supports the deserving horses we serve in the pursuit of a new, loving home.

A MOVEMENT STARTS WITH ONE THING.

MOVEMENT.

 

Founded in 1986, Colorado Horse Rescue is proud to be the longest-standing horse rescue in the state. As such, the equine community in Colorado relies on us to support at-risk horses where other parts of the equine industry cannot. As a 501(c)(3) impact organization, Colorado Horse Rescue exists to build a better future for horses, one life at a time.

The

Issue

Every week, an average of 18 horses are sold at the livestock auction in our community. Approximately ten are purchased by kill buyers and shipped to Mexico to be slaughtered for meat. We rescue as many of these animals as we can, in addition to accepting and rehoming horses from families in personal crisis.

Our Priorities

RESCUE

Imagine a world where no horses fall through the cracks.

EDUCATE

Imagine a time where horses are no longer thought of only as tools or sports equipment.

CARE

Imagine a society that empowers every horse to reach their potential.

ADOPT

Imagine a culture where every horse is valued.
