We are Colorado Horse Rescue (CHR), and we are building a better future for horses. We see it. Webelieve in it. And we are here to make it happen. As a 501(c)(3) impact organization operating in Colorado  since 1986, we work to continuously reimagine what's possible and create a reality where safe solutions exist for every horse. CHR is proud to be the longest-standing horse rescue in the state.

CHR is accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), an ASPCA Right Horse partner, and an EQUUS Foundation Mentor organization. CHR maintains a Platinum GuideStar rating and a Top- Rated Nonprofit Award from GreatNonprofits. CHR is dedicated to the necessary work of creating safe solutions for horses in Colorado and beyond. Daily, our 50-acre property in Longmont, CO operates at capacity, providing industry-leading care, rehabilitation, and training to 60 horses. Horses come to CHR from a variety of vulnerable situations. While many of the horses we welcome come from responsible private owners, we also serve horses arriving from animal control seizures, dude ranch retirement, the local livestock auction, partner rescues, and more.
At CHR, we prioritize quality over quantity. Our robust placement program ensures that each horse finds a loving and suitable match, however long it takes. Whether in a short-term foster home or a permanent adoptive family, we believe every horse in our care deserves a safe, sustainable solution that is right for them. Your support will enable CHR to provide care for the 130+ horses we anticipate welcoming through our gates this year. Together, we will work towards the day when no horse falls through the cracks.
