Zuma's

Zuma's Zuma’s serves as a sanctuary and place of healing for both humans and animals.
(360)

Our organization is named in honor of the first horse our founder purchased in 2000. Zuma was a bright spirit – a truly once in a lifetime horse who forever changed the hearts and minds of this professional horse family. By partnering those in need so that they may in turn rescue each other, we honor Zuma’s legacy. Serving the community since 2008, the mission of Zuma’s Rescue Ranch is to foster a

n environment of healing by pairing rescued horses with at-risk youth in mutually therapeutic programs. Zuma's Rescue Ranch has become a nationally recognized leader in Equine Assisted Learning. Programs serve children and families from local organizations such as Littleton Public Schools and Arapaho/Douglas Mental Health centers.

🚨 URGENT: HELP SAVE BABY SQUIRRELS & OWLETS! 🚨 Please share!

With high winds worsening into tomorrow, baby squirrels and great-horned owlets are in danger tonight and into tomorrow. These vulnerable babies are still in their nests, but with gusts expected to reach 70 mph, we anticipate tree limbs breaking and entire nests being blown to the ground. This puts the babies at serious risk of injury, hypothermia, and death. Here’s how you can help:

🔎 Check for fallen babies under trees, in downed branches, and on the ground. Squirrels may be small, hairless, and look like baby mice. Hypothermic babies may appear lifeless but can recover with warmth.

🧤 Wear gloves, place them in a small box lined with a t-shirt or towel. Keep them warm. Ask your Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator for direction.

🚫 Do NOT feed or give fluids. This can kill a hypothermic baby. Keep them in a dark, quiet place away from pets and people.

⚠️ Injured adult birds are also at risk due to high winds—bring them to RMWA if found.

🚑 Bring them to Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance ASAP!
🕚 Intake Hours from 10AM-4PM Daily
📞 Call first! 720-831-8130

Every minute counts when storms like this strike! Thank you for your help and caring about wildlife!

Stunning Peach! One of the many Rescued Horses that will be joining the Healing Herd Journey Through Cancer Program! Come see this and more Gallery 6 3/15/2925 5-8pm

This beauty is Peach, rescued by Zuma's from an ugly life as a PMU (pregnant mare's urine) horse, used industrially to produce horse-estrogen based HRT drugs.

There are numerous plant-based and synthetic alternatives that work equally as well, more safely, and do not cause pain, suffering and death to horses and newborns.

You can learn more about the PMU issue through Humane Decisions here:

Peach is now living a trouble-free life as part of the Healing Herd at Zuma's.

Things are changing for the better !

With Denmark being in the eye of the cyclone of the horse welfare debate following Operation X and mainstream media having picked up the topic in Scandinavia, the Danish Equestrian Federation (DRF) has understood the demand for more regulation concerning the use of horses in sport.

So much truth here…. People having all the expectations and zero accountability…

Rescued from Montana Kill Pen with her three buddies, Cassia is a love bug and will enter the training program in 2025. Follow us for updates on her training progress .

Sometimes, senior horses need a little break from human interaction, and Razz was no exception. For months, she stepped away from our programs, signaling she needed some time off. Recently, though, Razz has been showing renewed interest in getting back into the action, and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome this spicy little redhead back into our programs! It's great to see her reenergized and ready to connect with her riders again. Want to learn more about horses from the ground up? Schedule a session with one of our 40 plus rescued herd members. https://zumasrescue.simplybook.me/v2/
