OUR SUCCESSES

We heal all of our horses to their fullest potential then find them a forever home in and around the Pikes Peak Region. Being one of a few rescues in the nation with this performance specialty and unique rehabilitation techniques, Elite Equine CO has been able to help over 100 horses back to a sound condition, with 98% rehome success since 2018.

“These horses have dedicated their lives serving their humans, so we feel at Elite Equine CO it’s not about simply rescuing these horses, it's about healing, and it's about second chances, and it's about these horses making their comebacks bigger than their setbacks”, said Owner of Elite Equine CO Gina Hluska.
