Changing Leaves, Changing Needs 🍁🐴🤍

Colorado may still be enjoying warm temperatures, but shorter days and changing weather are a reminder that seasonal shifts bring new considerations for horse care.

Here are four things to keep in mind this fall:

🌾 Monitor pasture conditions. Frost and changing temperatures can affect grass sugar levels, potentially increasing the risk of laminitis in susceptible horses. Adjust grazing plans based on your horse’s individual needs.

💧 Prioritize water and forage. As temperatures cool, forage helps generate heat during digestion, which is especially important in colder weather. Adequate water intake is essential for healthy digestion, particularly as hay intake increases. Always provide clean, fresh water, and consult your veterinarian before adding electrolytes to your horse’s diet.

🐴 Watch for changing coats. Shorter daylight hours trigger winter coat growth, even when daytime temperatures remain warm. Regular grooming helps you spot skin irritation, cuts and changes in your horse’s condition.

🩺 Schedule a veterinary checkup. Fall is a good time to review vaccinations, dental health and overall condition. Routine veterinary care can help identify concerns before winter arrives, while healthy teeth help horses chew the forage they need to maintain their weight.

At Colorado Horse Rescue, every horse has individual needs. We’re enjoying these beautiful fall days with the herd while making sure each horse gets the care they need to stay healthy through every season. 💙

SMILES AT CHR! ✨🦷💫

Yes, horses go to the dentist, too! Just like us, horses need routine dental care to keep their mouths comfortable and healthy.

During a dental exam, veterinarians check for sharp edges, hooks and other changes that can make it difficult or painful for a horse to eat. Regular care helps prevent painful sores and ulcers and keeps those horsey smiles in good shape! 😁

A big thank you to CSU Veterinary Health System and their incredible veterinary students for providing dental care to 26 of our CHR horses this past Friday! 💙

We love giving our horses the care they need while giving future equine veterinarians the opportunity to learn and gain hands-on experience. We’re grateful for the partnership that helps keep our horses healthy while supporting the next generation of equine veterinarians. 🫶🏻

For 40 years, Colorado Horse Rescue has been helping horses find safety, healing and a second chance. 🤍

Founded in 1986, Colorado Horse Rescue is the longest-standing horse rescue in the state. This 40th anniversary film celebrates the horses, adopters, volunteers, donors, trainers and supporters who help create a better world for horses.

From rescue and rehabilitation to adoption and programs that help keep horses with the people who love them, this work is about creating safe solutions for horses at every stage of their journey.

After 40 years, one thing remains true: no horse gets there alone.

Together, we lead them home. 🤍

Wow, what an unforgettable night! 🤍

For 40 years, horses have been at the heart of Colorado Horse Rescue. And for 40 years, this community has shown up for them.

Every horse who walks through our gates carries a different story. But none of them make that journey alone. Behind every horse is a community filled with generosity and compassion, providing the hay, shelter, medical care, training, patience, and love it takes to help them find their way forward.

At this year’s Mane Event, we celebrated more than 40 years of rescue. We celebrated the people who have made this work possible: those who have carried the rope before us, those holding it today, and those who will carry it into the next 40 years.

We left Saturday with hearts overflowing with gratitude for every person who has helped make CHR what it is today. Your generosity and belief in this work have changed countless lives, and they give us hope for all the horses and families still awaiting help.

Thank you for being part of this community and for standing alongside these horses.

Here’s to the next 40 years, together. 🐴🤍

It’s time for another member feature!

For 40 years, Colorado Horse Rescue has been creating a better world for horses - not only through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption, but by helping horse owners before they reach a crisis. Last year alone, they created safe, thoughtful outcomes for more than 250 horses in need.

From emergency evacuation through HorseAlert, to owner support programs, and community education, our goal is simple: make sure no horse falls through the cracks.

You can learn more, get involved, or support their work at CHR.org

The only difference between a rescue horse and any other horse is a set of circumstances. 💙

This past week, our training team brought Ranger, Stevie, Clue and Alonso to the Boulder County Fairgrounds for a horse show. Stevie and Ranger entered the arena to compete, while Clue and Alonso came along for the experience and a chance to build confidence in an unfamiliar environment.

That’s what our training program is all about: giving horses opportunities to learn, grow and try new things.

Our trainers work with each horse to prepare them for their forever homes, introducing them to various places, people and challenges along the way. Every experience is another step toward becoming a well-rounded, adaptable horse ready for their next home.

Stevie and Ranger took on one of the largest classes of the day. They didn’t come home with a ribbon, but they did come home with more confidence and showed everyone what rescue horses are capable of.

Sometimes, success isn’t about winning. It’s about showing up, trying something new and realizing you can do it. 🐴🤍

Frita’s story is exactly why the Annie Project exists. 🩵

Before coming to Colorado Horse Rescue, Frita was a beloved guest ranch horse at Shadow Creek Ranch, where she helped create countless memories for visitors. When it came time for her to retire from riding, Shadow Creek Ranch chose to give her the chance at a new beginning. We’re so grateful to them for trusting us with her future.

Through the Annie Project, participating ranches commit to putting their horses first, not only during their working years, but throughout their lives. Retiring guest ranch horses are given a safe alternative to uncertain futures at auction and the opportunity to find loving homes through CHR.

Now, Frita is looking for that next chapter as a companion horse. 🐴

Sweet, gentle, and easy to be around, she enjoys people, walks, grooming, and plenty of attention. She has also been paired with a Companion Connection volunteer who is getting to know her and helping prepare her for the right home. Their time together has shown just how much Frita enjoys human connection. From walking over to greet her volunteer in the pasture to standing quietly for grooming and eagerly participating in her favorite carrot stretches.

Frita is retired from riding, but she still has so much life and love to share. Could her next chapter be with you?
