Our Mission
Protecting Colorado's Wild Horses
As wild horse populations experience increasing Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roundup situations, our goal is to provide rescued wild horses with a home that closely resembles their original life in the wild.
The Wild Horse Refuge is dedicated to preserving the freedom of Colorado's wild mustangs by providing them with free-range access to over 30,000 acres of natural space. This safe haven for wild horses provides a unique opportunity for them to return to rangeland that is filled with amazing natural landscapes, including rocks, trees, hills, buttes, bluffs, and lots of water.
We also provide our resident mustangs with exceptional care - which includes access to world class veterinary services through the Wild Animal Sanctuary's full-time medical staff.
​
However, what really enables these horses to feel safe, happy, healthy and in good spirits is their individual freedom! Once new horses arrive after spending significant amounts of time being held in severely restricted corrals - they run, jump, buck and kick with great enthusiasm the second they are able to run free again!
