"Meditation with Horses was the beginning of a wonderful life. I went with a friend that Saturday and the peace I felt around those horses was unreal. This led us both to realize that we wanted and needed to join the Led By Horses Equine Therapy with Laurie. The sessions began in October and immediately I began to feel better. I grew as a person, my confidence improved, and I continue to grow each and every day. Thank you Led By Horses for all you do!"

Dove Creek Equine Rescue serves what is referred to as “The Unwanted Horse Population”; a group of horses within the domestic equine population that are no longer needed or useful, or their owners are no longer interested in or capable of providing financial or physical care. According to the American Horse Council there are 9.2 million horses in the United States, and 1 percent to 1.5 percent of these horses are unwanted, roughly 92,000 to 138,000.

Dove Creek Equine Rescue is a member of the Homes for Horses Coalition which is a coalition of professionals dedicated to advancing the highest operating standards for equine rescue and retirement facilities. HHC actively promotes the welfare and protection of horses and other equines. We do this by educating current and prospective horse owners on how to own responsibly.

Accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, DCER strives to have the highest standards of care in rescue and rehabilitation for horses who need a second chance in life.
