Spring Creek Horse Rescue
July 23, 2011
I am on year 3 as a volunteer for Spring Creek Horse Rescue in Colorado.
The horses here receive the care needed to rehabilate, whether it is an underweight problem from neglect, or trust issues from improper handling, or injuries. I have seen over 40 horses adopted since volunteering and how rewarding it is to see a beautiful and spiritual horse go to a caring home. The Rescue also works with the community by providing instruction on care and also as a place for people with community service hours to work and learn. The director, Diane, I am in awe of; she loves these unfortunate animals and cares from them until trust is again established. Especially kudos to her. The Rescue is always in need of donations for feed and medicine for our charges.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Many, many horses have been adopted out to new caring homes and this is so, so rewarding for the rescue.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
My wish for Spring Creek Rescue is to have a place of its own to call home. It is now on a rental location and the future is uncertain. That is one big wish, so my lessor wish is to have funding for the care of the horses.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I muck, groom, talk to the horses every week. This rescue is spotless!.
