My family manages a foundation and has made grants to Spring Creek Horse Rescue, which we visited as a family and I have personally invested time volunteering at. As a horse owner myself it is amazing to see such dedication to such a large amount of animals that individually require an immense level of care! Especially since most of these horses are extremely undernourished or fearful, due to a past of abuse. I have had the joy of seeing horse after horse be transformed from sick, fragile, and scared, to healthy, trusting and confident. There are also many horses that have chronic issues, and they are provided the care and support that give them the opportunity to grow old and to do it gracefully.
The Great!

A great lady lives in the small town of Bayfield, Co. Her name is Diane McCracken & she runs this horse rescue. Brought up in the mid-west with Draft horses, pigs,& sheep, her love of horses is only surpassed by her total commitment to care for & return them to their normal health & spirit. Finding each of them a place in this world is her ultimate goal.Her doors are always opened to a horse in need. With the exception of some volunteers, she mostly works alone. She has been known to make her bed in the barn to be with a sick horse. Rarely does she leave the rescue. There is a heartwarming story of a horse traveling 700 miles from Tucson, Arizona because no one wanted to deal with his health issues. Currently she has about 30 horses on her facility & 6 others in foster care. This has been her life since 1976. The only reward Diane gets is from the happiness that comes from her satisfaction of being able to give & help the equine! Three cheers for Diane, I love you & envy your job!!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Build a larger horse rescue to house as many horses as needed on their own piece of land.
