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.

Tressor - This handsome Belgian warmblood came to us with an unresolved soundness issue. After an in-depth veterinary workup and successful preliminary treatment plan, we knew that a surgical procedure would be necessary. Fate just so had it that an adopter in need of a quiet yet bigger frame horse was needed for a tall, 15yo 4h youth. The two of them were magic together!

A Wish is Granted. Spirit was surrendered here late 2018 due to his previous owner being stricken with cancer and unable to provide the care and training that this big, beautiful boy so desperately needed. He was started under saddle and his socialization began. We received many offers, but nothing "felt" right. In March 2019, Spirit made a Wish come true!

Unfortunately, a large melanoma cut her career short.
