THE HORSE PROTECTION LEAGUE

We realized that horses are largely abandoned due to a lack of understanding how to care for them, as well as economic factors, resources and awareness. Through our education programs we allow the horse and the potential new owner a chance to get to know each other and experience hands on care with our equines.

All of our equines are cared for during and their adoption process to ensure a good fit and if at any time or reason the horse is neglected, abused or in dire medical needs we take the horse back into our care in order to fix the issue or provide assistance and guidance. We do routine visits to the new home to ensure the care for the first year and follow up with the new family over the next 3 years to ensure our equines are in the best homes possible.

We are able to do this by providing a fully functional horse ranch with access to medical needs, food supply, a large volunteer pool and a supportive community. Our Ranch Manager is top of the line and works with families, youth, individuals from all walks of life in order to share in the same mission of loving horses and all equines. We have an educational program targeted just for our youth that shows the ins and outs of horse ownership. Through education guidance and straightforward approach to working with equines we feel that we have been able to save more horses and have a higher adoption rate due to our follow through and supporting approach to ownership.

We have rescued horses in the Arvada Colorado community since 1994 and continue to work on the goal of no horse left unhomed. We have been able to introduce and Youth Equine program into the community and have developed a working relationship with partner vets, organizations, law enforcement and animal control. This is a newer role for us and one that is painful to witness but a much needed role for us to play in saving horses lives.
