Adopt, Foster, Donate, Volunteer, Educate Returning them to good health is at the forefront of our mission.

We know we can't save every horse, but for the ones we do save, their lives are completely changed. We believe that every horse, no matter its past, deserves respect, kindness, and love. Every draft horse deserves a chance at a new life and we are that chance for many horses who have no hope. We are honored each and every day to care for these beautiful animals and to provide them a place of refug

e, where they can feel secure and heal. Many of the horses at CDHR have previously suffered injuries and in some cases, abuse. Connecticut Draft Horse Rescue could not do any of its amazing work without you! We exist solely on donations and volunteers. Every dollar and hour donated goes to help these draft horses get proper medical care, a comfortable place to stay, a full belly, and lots of love to help them transition to their new lives.

What a fun afternoon we had with a wonderful group from B.A.A.C. today! 🎉 Ten members made the trip from CT, MA & NH, and met volunteers Tara and Maria T to spend a few hours introducing them to the horses and sharing about CDHR. 💕

Huge thanks also to volunteer Aaron for coming in early today to help with Pete and our “extra spicey” Sam—always an adventure! 😂 The group had a great time grooming the boys and getting some hands-on horse time.

And if you look closely at Pete’s barn photo… you’ll spot a little extra personality sticking out. 👅😂

We told Mike and Pat not to stay up all night before visiting hours… Did Pat listen? Absolutely not. 🤦‍♀️ He showed up today looking like he just rolled straight out of bed, bedhead and all. 😂 Meanwhile, Mike strolls in looking like the responsible one of the duo. Classic Clydesdales: one’s the life of the party, the other’s the designated driver.

We’re not usually ones to wish time away… but wow, was anyone else’s horses extra crazy this week too? 🤪 Between the weather, the energy, and maybe just a little mischief, our herd sure kept us on our toes! TGIF!!!!

Our pretty little babies, Baby Mac and Belle, are thrilled the rain has finally stopped! They’re ready to… well, let’s just say have fun (and maybe a little trouble too 😉).

Even with her tongue sticking out, Shelby the draft mule is pure beauty inside and out. She’s the perfect reminder that true beauty is found in heart, soul, and presence. 💕🐴

Max says: “Finally, some RAIN! 🌧️”
He’s been practicing his goofy stall-face all week just waiting for this moment. 🤪 Safe to say he’s as excited as the grass will be!

We always try to remember why we’re here at the farm. To care for the horses, enjoy each other, be kind, and find some fun along the way—because without those things, we won’t make it through. 💕

So thankful for all our special crews who bring heart, laughter, and teamwork every single week. ❤️
