Connecticut Draft Horse Rescue

Connecticut Draft Horse Rescue Lovingly Rescuing & Rehabilitating Draft Horses
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.

✨ Good morning from our sweet Molly. ✨
She’s the kind of horse who stops you in your tracks—not just because she’s big and beautiful, but because she carries a gentle kind of magic about her. As a senior mare who’s been with us just under a year, she’s weathered a long journey, yet still meets the world with softness and hope.

As we kick off our Fairy Godparent Campaign, Molly is wishing for a few special hearts to step into that enchanting role for her. Fairy godparents help ensure she always has what she needs—comfort, care, safety, and the promise that her story keeps getting better.

If you’ve ever wanted to sprinkle a little real-life magic into the world, Molly would be honored to have you as part of hers. 💜🪄

🌪️ WE LISTEN AND WE DON’T JUDGE: BELLE EDITION 🌪️
Fairy Godparents needed for our resident beautiful, young, mighty, spicy, smart, lovable hurricane… we mean, mare. 💁🏻‍♀️✨

This is Belle.
Belle has… opinions.

🏃‍♀️💨 Got loose and did victory laps around the entire farm?
We listen and we don't judge. (…Okay, maybe we judged a little, but only because she had the audacity to look proud.)

😈 Picking on her two new gelding friends who are literally twice her size?
We listen and we don't judge. (She said they “looked at her weird.”)

👢💥 Double-barrel kicks like a woman who has absolutely NO regrets and NO plans to change.
We listen and we definitely don't judge.
(But we did back up. Quickly.)

Under all that spice, Belle is pure love. The girl has a giant heart, a giant personality, and a giant talent for keeping us humble.

✨ If you love a mare with confidence, chaos, and charisma… Belle is looking for her Fairy Godparents! Just $10/month helps support this glorious menace-turned-princess on her journey.

Because at CDHR, we accept every horse for who they are —
even when who they are is a tiny tornado with great hair. 💖🌪️🐴

🤣 CUDA’S GIVING TUESDAY ANNOUNCEMENT: 🤣

“Hello humans.
It’s me… Cuda.
I heard it’s Giving Tuesday, which seems like the PERFECT day for you to, you know… give… to me.” 😅

Cuda is on a mission to reach 10 Fairy Godparents, and he would like everyone to know that he is currently at:
👉 Not enough
👉 Nowhere near majestic draft horse standards
👉 Possibly offended

He insists this face is his “please pick me, I’m adorable” look — not his “I just realized my snack bucket is empty” look.
(Though honestly… it might be both.)

For just $10/month, you can become one of Cuda’s Fairy Godparents and help him reach his big Giving Tuesday goal. And maybe… just maybe… help him relax that pouty lip.

💛 Make Cuda’s Giving Tuesday magical.
Help him hit 10.
Help him stop dramatically staring at everyone.

Mike would like everyone to know he is officially in the market for a new hairdresser. 💇‍♂️

Word on the farm is that Pat’s wild, gravity-defying hairstyle earned him EIGHT Fairy Godmothers today… meanwhile Mike is still standing here with zero and a whole lot of feelings about it.

He insists his perfectly curated mustache—styled daily with hay-infused conditioner—deserves just as much sponsorship love as Pat’s “I-woke-up-like-this” mane.

So if you’d like to restore Mike’s confidence (and maybe his faith in his stylist), becoming his Fairy Godparent for just $10/month would really help a guy out. 💖🧚‍♂️

✨ URGENT BARN NEWS ✨
Pat would like everyone to know he is deeply concerned that the reason he hasn’t gotten any Fairy Godparents yet…
…is because he’s being judged for his hair. 😩😂

Yes, his forelock looks like he lost a fight with a leaf blower.
Yes, he appears to have styled himself by sticking his head out the window of a moving truck.

But listen—Pat is a beautiful soul with the confidence of a horse who believes he’s nailing a shampoo commercial.
He just needs ONE person to say:
“Buddy… I see you. Chaos hair and all.” 🥹💖

Become Pat’s Fairy Godparent for just $10 a month and help him believe his hair is a feature, not a problem.
🧚‍♀️✨ Because love is blind… especially to questionable grooming choices.
