Front Range Equine Rescue (FRER) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization working to end the abuse and neglect of horses through rescue and education. Since its beginning in 1997, Front Range has rescued thousands of horses with countless others benefiting from its educational and advocacy efforts. Rescued horses receive rehabilitation services, training assessment and either adopt to qualified homes or retire with the rescue if unlikely to adopt. National campaigns to protect wild horses and responsibly end horse slaughter are a significant part of FRER's work. Front Range currently has two locations, CO and FL.

Drifter's Hearts of Hope is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization committed to circumventing the horse-slaughter pipeline.

In 2014, Drifter's Hearts of Hope was founded to give at-risk horses a second chance at a forever home. The organization's namesake is a papered Quarter Horse: a champion roping horse who ended up as a stray after an injury. He went from being found on the side of the road to the heart horse for the organization that would become Drifter's Hearts of Hope.

With the dedication and ongoing support of the community around us, DHOH continues to increase it's reach and impact in the horse community. We've seen many of our rescues go to wonderful loving, forever homes, all through the efforts of the members and supports of DHOH.

Rescue. Rehabilitate. Re-home. Repeat.
