Over 70 equines rescued in rural Colorado.
Our commitment to ending animal suffering is essential to our mission. When the call came to protect over 70 horses' lives just weeks after we rescued nearly 100 cats from deplorable living conditions, we were ready to organize and act on their behalf.
From hurt to hope.
We could see the physical and emotional signs of what appeared to be neglect. Many of the horses appeared to have significant medical conditions.
After safely bringing the equines into our care, the grueling journey in the uncomfortable summer heat to the Harmony Equine Center began.
Once they arrived, our equine veterinary team stepped in to understand the horses' intense medical needs with expedited care and compassion for each equine.
The healing journey ahead.
One horse was bleeding from the hooves. More than half of the herd were unable to walk requiring urgent care. The veterinary team set to work to treat other medical conditions left to fester that needed immediate medical attention.
Your donation today will help us meet their most urgent needs.
A story of resilience.
We examined one horse late in the day who was standoffish at first. As her confidence grew, we learned why she needed more time to trust us than some of the others. Her left eye was red with what appeared to be signs of infection and discomfort. Her ability to trust us, even a little bit, gave us hope for her future.
She required urgent care to rehabilitate and save her eye.
A more humane Colorado for all companion animals.
We don't turn our backs on animals in need, and we know you - our compassionate community - won't either.
We can't do it without your help.
On average, we invest at least $3,600 in each horse's journey at the Harmony Equine Center, including urgent medical treatment, farrier services, nourishment, behavioral support, trust-based training, and safe shelter.
Your urgent gift today - big or small - makes a lasting difference.
Together, we will build a more humane Colorado for all companion animals.
"What makes this work possible isn't just the team on the ground. It's the broader community that shows up, time and again, when animals need us most.
We know people care deeply about horses, and we're asking them to stand with us once again. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us provide vital care to these animals; care they desperately need." - Dr. Apryl Steele, President & CEO of Humane Colorado
Thank you for your compassionate support.
