Horse Rescue Facilities

Front Range Equine Rescue began as an all volunteer organization in 1997.

Horses were initially kept with Board members and a few select foster homes.

Over the years, some horses have stayed at private boarding facilities for rescue/rehab, training assessment and adoption services.

In 2006 and 2009, Front Range Equine Rescue acquired facilities in Larkspur, CO while expanding its rescue and educational program efforts.

In 2015, the Larkspur properties were sold to help Front Range Equine Rescue with its expansion of rescue services to the East Coast while reorganizing and maintaining its long-time work in Colorado.

FRER’s main administrative function and some of its retired horses relocated to a farm in Ocala, FL as Front Range’s long-time rescue and educational work continue on in Colorado and the West.

In 2025, Front Range Equine Rescue is relocating its East Coast operation to Virginia and selling its FL property. There are no other changes to FRER’s program efforts or its mission, just a change of location.

The rescue horses in Colorado are located on private farms under the care of two of Front Range Equine Rescue’s board members. A private foster home of one of our long-time supporters and adopters is also used to house retired horses as needed. Front Range Equine Rescue and Shiloh Acres Horse Rescue (SAHR) continue their long-time partnership to save hundreds of at-risk horses in addition to what each group does independently. At times, Front Range also works with other reputable horse rescues to assist at-risk horses that neither group could do on its own.

The CO rescue horses which are under the direct care of our Executive Director participate in annual educational events and get lots of attention when volunteers come to help with basic chores and horse caretaking.

The East Coast facility provides rescue, rehabilitation and retirement of at-risk horses as well as partnering with select organizations to provide supportive services for additional horses in need of removal from abusive situations.
