Frost & Furry coats...

...all around the ranch during these sunny but cooler days. While the horses wait to graduate from their Journey of Hope, they enjoy their time together playing with plenty of hay and love. However there is no playing around for MVHR' Staff.  Not only do we continue programs through the end of the year, but staff has been working hard to plan for new intakes in need of a safe place to land before the real winter starts. It's the time of year when our phones are the busiest. Over two dozen horses have asked for help as soon as possible, just in the last few weeks, and we are hoping we can help them all.

We are grateful for the continued increase of participation in our community volunteer days and training, it is so wonderful to see the helping hands at the ranch, making our work possible as we head into winter over capacity.

Your support is especially critical this time of year so that MVHR can continue it's mission to help at-risk horses find their Journey of Hope and plan for the year ahead. As we enter the season of Giving, please consider making a Colorado Gives Day donation to the MVHR Herd, now through Tuesday, December 8th. Find the details below!

Join us next Friday, November 20th at Eagle River Brewing for "Beer for Horses" a fun evening for friends to support the horses as part of the Brewery proceeds for this month goes to the Herd! Scroll down to learn more. 

Another fun ranch event is coming up on Saturday, December 19th! Visit the horses at the ranch for Santa's Sleigh & Merry Neighs from 12 to 2pm. This is a Free community event, and we can't wait to see you!

As always, we invite you to visit the ranch if you are in the area this Holiday Season, the horses would love to see those who make it possible for them to have their happy endings.
