They do wonderful things for horses who have been abandoned for any number of reasons. They never give up and always do everything possible to get a horse back to health and to a wonderful adopted home. They use my money form the well being of the horses they care for and I am very happy to support their endless work ……….

Front Range Equine Rescue is amazing! Hilary has spent years rescuing horses from slaughter and helping people to keep their horses to keep them from going to auction and, most likely, slaughter. Its the best rescue out there!

This charitiy has consistently over the years written detailed reports on what is happening to horses by and how they have been so mistreated. There are often reports of saving some of these horses but their work is invaluable and shows true love and dedication to their subject matter.

This charity has done extensive, useful, real experience research on how horses are abused by our government and by individuals who use them for profit . They chronicle the suffering of these beautiful animals and deserve to be recognized. Their correspondence is packed with information. They are serious about helping save our horses and treating them with dignity, respect and love. I admire the people who run this organization very much.

They are sterling in their dedication to saving & preserving our heritage wild horses & burros. These are a precious legacy the BLM is intent on destroying in order to welfare ranchers & their cattle. These herds & animals are a GIFT. They need to be treasured & allowed to live in peace, unmolested by a bent BLM. Please help them. It’s nit for them-it’s for our heritage.

I have followed FRER for years and have made monetary donations several times. I haven't adopted or been to the facility as I live quite a distance away. I once had some general questions on horse rescues in my area and HIlary promptly and courteously answered my emails. I'm also impressed by the fact that not only does Hilary take in horses in need, but she is making a serious effort to change the management of mustangs by the BLM. She is focusing on a source of overpopulation and I admire her effort.

Front Range Equine Rescue is an organization that gives its all to working for the betterment of mustangs and burros on our Federal lands and our domestic horses. They rescue many animals and see them through when they are sick; they work to influence government decisionmakers to improve the existing policies for managing the mustangs and burros, and because of their excellent reputation, their concerns are listened to. They are a leader. I thank them for their work and the concerns they bring to the public decision-making process.

This is one of the most professional organizations I have had the pleasure to work with. The care they show for the creatures they rescue to the people who adopt from them.

When my older horse needed to slow down a bit from arthritis, I began looking for a companion for her and a horse I could do some trail riding with. I came across Front Range Equine Rescue and fell in love with a big chestnut gelding. I was "in love" from the moment I met him. Front Range made sure I had a chance to get to know all about this horse and watch their trainer work with him. I then had a chance to work with him myself and ride. Long story short, I now have my older mare and a wonderful new boy!

Front Range Equine Rescue has a clear mission and is great at achieving its objectives. Under Hilary’s leadership, it does fantastic work saving, fostering, and adopting out horses and stopping the abuse of horses. And it played an indispensable role in stopping horse slaughter in the United States.

We adopted a wonderful older horse from Front Range Equine Rescue several years ago. He was a great addition to our horse family. While he's no longer with us, "Ole Blaze" will always be remembered and cherished. They are wonderful people for all they do for abused horses. Their knowledge, compassion and dedication to improving horses' lives is truly admirable.

I was thrilled to find the perfect horse for me at Front Range Equine Rescue. My trainer and I had been searching for months when I saw an ad for rescue horses for adoption. The facility was well-kept; their horses looked happy and very cared for. It was clear they knew the horse and his abilities and told us what they knew of his history. My trainer and I knew after that first visit we had found a real gem. I'd recommend looking at Front Range Equine Rescue's horses to anyone looking for a new horse (I adopted one of the CO horses).

We met Front Range Equine Rescue in the early 2000s at a horse expo in Denver. Our family volunteered that summer and for several years after before having to move. We've continued to support their work as we saw first-hand their dedication and excellent care the rescue horses received. Their guidance helped us in getting our first horses. A first rate group!

I adopted a fantastic mustang from Front Range Equine Rescue about 6 years ago. I LOVE HIM! He is the best horse ever and it makes me so sad and angry to think he would have gone to slaughter if not for Front Range Equine Rescue. They have helped so many horses and done a great job with them. I can't imagine my life without my rescue horse.

A great organization dedicated to saving abused horses. Front Range Equine Rescue is not only practical and responsible with how it handles rescue, rehab and placement of its horses, but has innovative programs to keep horses from being abused. Their work to responsibly end horse slaughter is awe-inspiring as are efforts to protect wild horses.

I spent two days at Front Range for research on a book I'm writing about equine rescues and sanctuaries. I've visited many fine places around the U.S. but I can say with all sincerity that Front Range stands out as a superb rescue, organization, and group of people. I was impressed by the number of rescues they take in and their adoption rate; the training and rehabilitation program for the horses, the barns and pastures, and the level of healthcare given to horses that arrive at their facility. Front Range also offers an unique education program in the summer for kids, which I was able to observe. I had the impression the kids were not only having a good time but also learning about horses, horse care, and humane treatment of all animals.
