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.
