The moment a draft horse steps into CDHR, their whole life changes.
We are the new beginning for draft horses who have been neglected, abused, or surrendered by their owners and desperately need help.
Too often, they come to us broken in spirit and without a safe home. Sometimes they come to us heartbroken, grieving the loss of their human partner and long-time home. Very often, they come to us ill or physically broken. The story is repeated time and again.
With our hard work, your generosity, and a loving new home, they can once again be healthy horses that are filled with life and promise.
Our work is often filled with unspeakable sadness as these once-upon-a-time majestic horses that have been abused, starved, and left unwanted come through our gates.
Then comes the amazing, transformational part of our work. We invest large amounts of our time, hearts, and money in rehabilitating each horse that finds its way to us. We provide them with the care, medicine, nutrition, and love that brings them back to a full and productive life. The true magic happens when we help these horses find a new partner, a new home, and a new chapter in their life.
If you would like to help us continue our mission, you can make a donation to support our herd.
As always, thank you for your continued support. We simply cannot do what we do without you.
Sometimes Money Can Buy Love
Do You Know it Costs CDHR $160 Per DAY To Feed Our Horses?
That’s $57,600 a year. We provide our herd with high-quality grain, hay, shelter, veterinary care, training, stimulation, and a lot of love! Many of our horses have special diets and require extra veterinary care.
We hope you will consider joining our awesome supporters who love our herd as much as we do!
