While neither offers trail rides, we have two incredible non-profit horse rescues in the area that are worthy of a shout-out! If you are able, consider donating or volunteering your time to these organizations.

Summit Valley Horse Center, located in Silverthorne, has two primary goals. Firstly, they rehabilitate rescued horses with the goal of adopting them to forever homes and creating a second chance at life! Secondly, SVHC provides opportunities to the local community with educational and volunteer opportunities, offering a rewarding human-horse connection.

Far View Horse Rescue, located in Fairplay, is a volunteer and community-based non-profit which provides shelter, care, rehabilitation, and adoption services for abused, neglected, abandoned, and unwanted horses. As described on their site, they are “committed to reducing the number of unwanted horses by providing community resources through equine education and interactive learning, providing a welcoming environment where equine and humans inspire and enrich each other.”
