Mission
At Drifter's Hearts of Hope we are dedicated to empowering children with special needs to rescue slaughter-bound horses. Our mission is to give these kids the opportunity to give back to the community, through the courageous effort of giving horses a second chance at life. Our kids are learning the responsibility of caring for a creature that is dependent on them, as well as independence, confidence, as well as the joy of loving a horse. Nothing is more pure than the love between a child and a horse.
Most importantly, these kids are seeing the benefits of their hard work every time they look into the eyes of a horse that they have rescued....the powerful gift of diligence...for their determination has saved yet another soul.
History
We've been blessed with a group of active parents and friends who became the core of Drifter's Hearts of Hope during our beginnings, and remain active in the organization today. Initially, the kids baked 'cookies' (horse treats) to raise money for horses in need. What started out as one rescue horse (Drifter) and one very special child (Bella) has blossomed into an active community organization in Elizabeth, Colorado where the kids get to care for and learn about the horses, host fun events, and continue to grow with their rescues. Read the story of Drifter and Bella here...
A Bright Future
With the dedication and ongoing support of the community around us, DHOH continues to grow in both our number of rescue horses as well as the number of children who are able to participate in our activities. From baking cookies, to going to parades, to grooming horses, the possibilities for the kids are truly endless! We've seen many of our rescues go to wonderful loving homes and all through the efforts of the members and supporters of DHOH. Want to get involved or help us continue to empower kids and horses?
