How You Can Help or Donate

Front Range Equine Rescue (FRER) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to end the abuse and neglect of horses. We need your help. Here are some ways you can help us meet our goals:

• Adopt a horse

• Sponsor a horse

• Fulfill a special needs wish

• Make a direct tax deductible donation

• Volunteer your time

• Purchase FRER logo shirts

• Purchase gift certificates from Farmer Jim’s Feed

• Donate horse care and tack items directly to FRER

Adopt a horse:

The majority of horses rescued by FRER become available for adoption to permanent, loving, and suitable homes. Adoptive homes must be within a 3-4 hour drive of Colorado Springs as Front Range provides a pre-adoption site visit and follow up to all adoptions. Please go to our Adopt A Horse web page for adoption details.

Sponsor a horse:

Front Range Equine Rescue encourages individuals to sponsor a rescue horse during its rehabilitation phase. Sponsors are asked to provide a minimum of $25 per month (tax deductible) to help offset some of the expenses incurred with horse care. A brief bio and photo are sent to the sponsor and if sponsors live around the Black Forest area, they can arrange to visit their sponsored horse. We also welcome out of town sponsors to arrange a visit when they plan to travel in the Colorado Springs/Denver area.

Fulfill a Special Needs Wish:

Through the "Make the Difference Network" you can help make FRER's wishes come true. Use your credit card to make a donation to one or several of the wishes. Donations are tax deductible.
