⏳ Reminder - is 3 only days away! It only takes a little to make a big impact ➡️link in bio.

This year, there’s no better way to give back than to become a part of a rescue horse’s journey. 🌟 🐴 Each of our rescues has a unique story; one often of resilience and growth until they find their forever home. During their journey rescues require ongoing care, support, treats and love from our community. Your donation will sponsor a rescue’s essential care such as, veterinarian visits and treatments, hoof care and training which will allow them a chance for a brighter, healthier future. Meet some of the incredible rescues who need your support today!

Meet:
🌟 Princess Buttercup (she is everything sweet and adorable!)
🌟 Seven our beefcake who is always eager to make new friends
🌟 Blue who has just enough nice to naughty and is FULL of personality
🌟 Classy Lady the quiet goofball who wants to crawl in your pocket
🌟 Winter the resident white unicorn who loves to roll in the mud
🌟 Coco who has a big heart and loves turnout and light rides
…and more!

💖 We can’t thank you enough for your consideration and generosity. We’re so lucky to have such an amazing community!

Please mark your calendars and spread the word. Together, we can make a big impact! Donations are 100% tax-deductible and go directly towards the care of our rescues. Let’s give out second chances this season!

This summer we had to say goodbye to one of our most beloved rescue horses. Bud Light was the biggest horse on our property, but he also had the biggest heart. He came with the property when Mile High Rescue was founded, and he absolutely loved teaching little kids how to be around horses. So much so that he was a fan favorite during our summer pony camps.

Bud Light was also our oldest horse on the property at 35 years old.

This holiday season, please consider donating to our nonprofit so we can continue helping horses like Bud Light. And if you’re looking to add a horse to your herd, visit our website to check out all the horses we currently have up for adoption.

A nasty hurricane is coming! 🐴 Fleet of Angels is an incredible organization and could use your support to help horses impacted by the hurricane and in disaster areas 🙏. If you are in affected areas and need resources, check them out! We are sending peace and positivity to everyone out there 💛.

Sharing again and asking you to, too. We want everyone whose horses were impacted by this awful disaster to know that we are here for them. We have had almost 50 emergency grant applications come in already (early days, considering that only a fraction of the victims of this storm have had power and cell service restored).

In addition to our grant programs, we are connecting hundreds of people who have hay or other supplies to offer with transporters who are getting those goods to our partner distribution center in Mill Spring, NC. We will soon have boots on the ground there who will load goods from the distribution center and make home deliveries to area horse owners, door to door, trying to be sure that every horse has food to eat.

Please donate on our website if you'd like to help us do all the good we possibly can.

Teamwork works!

Isabel, Racquel, and Alessandra all competed at their very first horse shows last week and they all did AMAZING! These girls have been putting in so much work at home with their new horses and it showed when it came time to go in the show pen!

Isabel and her mare Made To Be Noticed took home first place in their walk trot youth western pleasure and horsemanship classes and took home second place in the 18&Under showmanship!

Racquel and Voodoos Handsome Jack placed in all her classes and took home second place in walk trot youth ranch riding—an event she just learned a few weeks ago!

Alessandra and Shiny Work Shoes also placed in all of their classes and took home second place in their walk trot western pleasure class!

Our youngest rider, Juliet, also deserves a special shoutout for being the best helper and teammate these girls could ask for. Juliet isn’t competing yet (but don’t you worry—you’ll see her in the show pen at some point!), but she was there to support her friends and make sure their horses looked their best when they went into the show pen.

Teamwork and bonding over horses is what we are all about at Mile High Equestrian and these girls are the perfect representation of that! We can’t wait to see them in the show pen again this weekend!
