Review for Spring Creek Horse Rescue, Durango, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been volunteering at Spring Creek Horse Rescue for a few weeks now. I consider myself to be part of the team and dedicate any free time I have. In the short time that I have been volunteering, I have seen miraculous recovery in a few of the horses that have come to the rescue because they were abused or neglected. I'm an animal person and didn't know much about horses, but I am learning something new everyday! The Director,Diane, has so much knowledge she's willing to share. She is an amazing woman to work with. We all work side by side to reach a common goal. It's not just about "scooping the poop." I get actual interaction with the horses. She has dedicated her life to the these horses and gives her body and soul to the safety and well being of them. She's passionate and loves the horses like they are her own children. I wish there were more honest people out there like her. The horses of Spring Creek Horse Rescue are beautiful and each one of them has their own personality. The Rescue relies on donations to stay alive and I can only give my time at the moment. If you are thinking about donating, you can visit the rescue and see what they do. Really, the only way you can understand is if you visit.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

watching some of the horses "bounce back" from their conditions.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

help with more donations. I'm actually going to organize a fundraiser for hay this winter!

Role:  Volunteer & Scooped poop, got sunburned, got horse-slobbered, learned to halter and lead, and much more!!!.
