Mission Statement

Drifter's Hearts of Hope is a horse rescue and rehabilitation center that strives to circumvent the slaughter pipeline. Horses at our facility are rehabilitated, evaluated, trained and eventually adopted out to forever, loving homes.

Organization History

We've been blessed with a group of volunteers who became the core of Drifter's Hearts of Hope during our beginnings, and remain active in the organization today. What started out as one rescue horse (Drifter) and one very special child (Bella) has blossomed into an active community organization in Franktown, Colorado where the volunteers get to care for and learn about the horses, host fun events, and continue to grow with their rescues.

Testimonials

I love working with DHOH! I had been looking for a horse for over a year, and suddenly there was Phantom! They were honest and willing to work with my schedule, and they have so much integrity! I love love love my DHOH horse so much, and I hope to adopt from them again in the future! - Courtney McCall

Volunteering for DHOH is hands down one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences. Not only is there the joy and satisfaction you feel for the care you give these beautiful creatures but also the confidence and experience gained in working with rescue horses. DHOH puts SO much time, energy and love into these horses to make sure each and every single one receives special attention. I could go on and on, but you'll just have to come see for yourself! - Dani Ross

We just adopted 2 horses, Ghost and Cabo, from DHOH on Monday and cannot say enough about these horses. They are affectionate and so happy to be here. We feel blessed to have them and want to thank Jackie for all her help in choosing just the right horses for our family. Please make the decision to look at some of their horses. Give some of these animals a chance to regain their trust in human contact and enjoy the results. - Karen Julien
