We just wrapped up our Colorado Gives Day campaign, and we’re feeling so grateful for every single person who made it possible. Your care, attention, and support, whether in giving, cheering from afar, or simply reading our emails, make a real difference in the lives of horses who need a second chance.

You raised $87,000 to help horses! 

While just shy of our day-of target, our true goal has always been to give horses the care, comfort, and love they deserve. In that, you were nothing short of incredible. It’s a perfect reminder of why we do what we do.

Janet, who adopted Ray almost a decade ago, wrote to us recently:

“I adopted Ray about 8 years ago. He was 17 and is now going on 26. I am so lucky that we found each other. He is such a sweet guy, and I still ride him. I always say to him, ‘I wish that you were 7 and I, 17 – we would take over the world.

I wanted to say thank you again for this wonderful friend. I hope all of your horses find forever homes with the kind of love and care that I have given Ray.”

Stories like Janet’s are what keep our team motivated and remind us that every one of your gifts has a ripple effect, care that lasts for years and homes filled with love.

Thank you again for giving, for reading about our horses, for caring so deeply, and for sticking with us through all the emails this season (we promise it’s all because we care!). No matter how you supported, because of you, horses are safe and surrounded by people who care.

Every horse that finds safety, comfort, and a loving home carries a little piece of your kindness with them.

From everyone at Colorado Horse Rescue, and from every horse who benefited this year: we appreciate you.
