ELITE EQUINE RESCUE
Elite Equine Rescue (Elite Equine CO) provides rehabilitation, retraining, re-homing and aftercare for performance and sport horses that are injured, neglected, retired or at risk of slaughter, with the goal of returning each horse to soundness and placing them in qualified, permanent homes.
About ELITE EQUINE RESCUE
Based in the Colorado Springs area, Elite Equine Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization that specializes in taking in slaughter-bound, abused, abandoned or medically challenged performance horses, providing medical care and non‑invasive rehab therapies, and preparing them for new careers or permanent companion homes.
The organization emphasizes advanced supportive therapies (massage, laser, kinesiology, equine rehabilitation modalities) and structured retraining to restore athletic function and confidence before rehoming; it also runs sponsorship and fundraising programs to sustain care.
Since its founding (operations reported from 2018 onward) Elite Equine reports having healed and placed over 100 horses with a high rehoming-success rate, and has continued regular intake, rehabilitation, and rehoming activity through the most recent years.
