Meet Scott, our Liberty Trainer and a MOD (manager of the day) at Horse Protection League! Despite allergies holding him back in the past, Scott's passion for horses drove him to volunteer for 4 years at the HPL, dedicating himself to the welfare and training of rescue horses. As MOD, he ensures smooth operations on volunteer days, from assigning wranglers to overseeing horse care. Scott's journey from novice to Level Three rider at Westernaires showcases his dedication and love for these majestic animals. Thank you, Scott, for your unwavering commitment to our mission and the happiness you bring to both horses and adopters alike! 🐴✨ #VolunteerSpotlight #HorseRescue #LibertyTraining

Jesse! Adoptable! 8-year-old mare who was a trail-riding horse at ranch in Montana. She has a sweet disposition that has won the hearts of our volunteers. Jesse stands at 13.2 hands; therefore, she would do best with a small/light rider. Jessie enjoys children and has been ridden by them on both English and Western saddles. Ask about our adoptable horses! Check them out on the website!

Charlie is a 5 yr. old mare mustang from the Antelope Valley in Nevada. She has some experience under the saddle. She came to HPL after a short time with a mustang trainer. Since then, with the help of our volunteers, she has learned the basics of being caught, groomed, and trained. She was also sent to a trainer to learn how to be ridden. She needs more training – but she has come so far! A fast learner, Charlie will often stand back and take in all of the information around her. Charlie can be shy when she first meets new people, but she trusts the people she knows. She also loves her feed and had to recently be put on a diet! She gets along with other horses but can be dominant. She is also often the object of gelding horses’ affection. Who wouldn’t love such a cute little mustang! #horses #horsesofinstagram #horsesofcolorado #equinerescue #horserescue #horsestall #equinelife #horseriding #horselove #Arvada #volunteers #horsetraining #adoptahorse

A Christmas snow at The HPL, where horses can be horses again. At Churches Ranch, they receive the best veterinary care possible so they can be adopted into a caring home. Consider giving to The Horse Protection League and contact us if you wish to adopt a horse.

Piper lifting her hind hoof for trainer Taryn Hillman

This may seem like a small step for Piper (handling her hind leg), but it is really a huge step for her under the compassionate guidance of our trainer, Taryn Hillman Wild Hearts Horsemanship. From our assessment, it appears Piper has been badly mishandled and mistreated in her past. Our trainers Taryn and Jessica Dabkowski with Wild Idea Horsemanship have made huge strides in gaining her trust and working through her fears. To contribute to Piper's training and that of our other herd members, please consider a donation. https://www.coloradogives.org/donate/TheHorseProtectionLeague Venmo: The Horse Protection League @HPL-CO
