We are SO PROUD of our 3 4H gals who went to the @middleparkfairrodeo this year💚 It has been MANY years since Summit County has been represented in the horse classes at the fair, and we had such a blast with these little cowgirls. They have put in so much work to prepare for fair, along with their 4H workbooks among other things. We loved being there supporting them today, and we can’t wait until next year! Great job ladies!🐴💚

We can’t believe it’s already August, and we just wrapped up our final @keystonescienceschool Kids Camp of the summer!☀️💚 We need to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers to helped with any of the weeks of camp, it takes a village and you all come through and make it happen! Featured in this photo is Hammer from @horse_rescue_mvhr , who is adoptable!🐴💚

We had SUCH a blast at the Keystone Ranch today💚 We need to say a HUGE thank you to anyone who golfed, sponsored, volunteered, or assisted with this event in any way. It’s a lot of work to pull this off, not to mention this year we brought more horses AND mini donkeys!🐴🙌 We so enjoyed riding around the beautiful golf course and visiting golfers on their course, talking about the SVHC mission, and spreading the word about what we do. We also need to say an extensive thank you to everyone who participated in our live auction, we were able to meet our fundraiser goals and are excited to move forward with new future projects and sponsorships. We couldn’t do this without the help of our amazing members and volunteers, so THANK YOU to everyone for a great day⛳️🐴💚

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!⛳️🐴💚 Our annual Keystone Ranch Golf Tournament is happening next Monday, July 14th! We still have room for golfers, are ALWAYS looking for volunteers to help! Not interested in golfing but still want to support? Come out in the afternoon for free lunch, auction, and long putt contest! We can’t wait to see you all there!

Happy 4th of July from Billy Bob and everyone here at SVHC!🇺🇸💚🐴

We had SUCH a blast during Open Ranch Day💚🥰 Amazing riding demos from @evergreenrodeodrillteam , over 200 pony rides, cookie decorating, hay rides, grooming, and more! We loved seeing our community come out and meet some horses, and see what we do at SVHC. Thank you to everyone who came out, and we hope to see more of everyone this summer!🙌💚🐴

We can’t believe 4th of July is almost here!🇺🇸💚 Join us in the @townoffrisco parade to represent SVHC! Decorate the ranch truck, “ride” a hobby horse, and spread the word about Summit Valley Horse Center! We can’t wait to see everyone there!🐴🇺🇸

Have you heard? SVHC has welcomed 12 chickens to our ever-growing clan of animals! 🐣💚 The beautiful hen house was built from scratch by some of our AMAZING volunteers and members, but the whole project was spearheaded by Kristi Revello, a dedicated member and horse owner🙌💚 She is the mastermind behind their feeders and waterers, the coop itself, and the wellbeing of the chickens. We are SO excited to watch these pretty ladies grow, teach everyone (and ourselves!) about chicken keeping, and can’t wait until they start laying eggs! 🐥🐴💚

NEW FOSTER ALERT!💚🐴 From Troublesome Horse Rescue, please welcome Sage and Walter! Sage (grey) is a 5 year old captive born mustang. She is a beautiful grey mare who has been lightly started under saddle, but we hope to refresh her knowledge this summer. She is very sweet and curious, and has lots of forward energy!🌿 Walter is an adorable flaxen chestnut Shetland pony with a big personality. Walter came to THR from the Colorado Horse Rescue Network Mini Pony Makeover Challenge and needs more work with being caught and handled! Come out and meet these 2 along with our other fosters! Check out our horsemanship class schedule on our website, linked in our bio!

As the summer of 2024 came to an end, SVHC staff and board made the decision to remain open and boarding horses through the winter. While there were challenges, we decided it was important to remain a resource to our community, helping local horse owners by providing a place for them to board, and also keeping fosters from our rescue partners. Because of the hard work of our volunteers, we were able to successfully keep 20-25 horses at our ranch, running programs and events, having riding lessons, and much more. We thank everyone who helped us this winter and we can’t wait for summer to really kick off!💚🐴🙌

We have been hard at work getting the ranch prepped and ready for summer as our programs begin!🚜💚 A huge project we have been working on is getting run in sheds for all of our dry lots. A few days ago, we had a LARGE delivery of a 12’ x 36’ shed for our biggest dry lot, offering more shelter from wind and rain (and yes, even still snow!❄️) We need to say a BIG THANK YOU to Michael and Carol Obst for sponsoring our shed project. Not only did the Obsts sponsor our beautiful riding arena, but they also have sponsored our entire shed project, which includes 4 large run in sheds total, paneling, and even a ranch truck we will keep on property and use for filling water, chores, etc. THANK YOU to Michael and Carole Obst for your endless support, your help means the world to us! Stay tuned for more property updates!💚🐴

ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT!‼️💚 Kash (formerly Flash from @wildheartshaven ) has been adopted by one of our dedicated members, Kristi🥹 When Kash first came to us, he was watchy, extremely protective of his hind end, and very bonded with his mini pony friend, Bronco. Kristi took him under her wing and helped him with fitness, confidence, and handleability. Now he lives with a group of geldings that he loves playing with, he loves attention and even stands very well for the carrier! He even got groomed by a few of our 4H kids🙌💚 Kristi fostered Kash this winter, keeping him at SVHC so she could continue working with him, until deciding ultimately to adopt him. He will remain boarding at SVHC with hopes of being used in programs this summer! Congrats to Kristi and Kash!🐴💚🙌

Everyone please welcome the newest members to the SVHC herd, Daisy and Olive the mini donkeys!🌼💚🥰 We are so excited to welcome these little ladies to SVHC, and we can’t wait to use them in our programs. 2 of our dedicated and AMAZING volunteers adopted these cuties from @hee.haw.donkey.rescue and are allowing us to utilize them for our programs. Thank you Jen and Mike Anderson for allowing us to use them and for boarding at SVHC!💚🙌

Colorado Horse Community!

This is an awesome opportunity if you are in Summit, Grand, Lake, Eagle, or any other surrounding western slope counties. Come out, support an amazing rescue and learn some new skills!💚🐴

There’s room for everyone!💚 to accommodate our larger herd, we use very large water tanks so that everyone can drink with no drama😇 Misty, Tiny Tim, Onyx, Parker and Paco all don’t mind sharing!

It’s Mustang Madness at SVHC!🐴💚 A few days ago, we welcomed 2 new fosters into our herd from @wildheartshaven ! First up is Jasper, a dark sorrel with a cute star✨ Jasper is a 3 year old BLM mustang gelding born in holding, so he has no brand. He is very friendly and playful, and we can’t wait to build his skill set! Next is Honey, a flaxen sorrel with a pretty stripe🍯 Honey is an 8 year old BLM mustang mare, and is as sweet as her namesake. She has been to SVHC in the past, and we are so excited to have her back!💚 We can’t wait to get to know our fosters more, and we are so excited for everyone to meet them this summer!

Some of our herd enjoying the Sunday morning sun 🥰💚 Featured is Paco (who is adoptable!), Kash (fostered from @wildheartshaven ), Carbon (showing off his little white mustache), Gala and Dreamer (who is adoptable!), and of course our ever handsome super senior Billy Bob😍🐴 Our herd is definitely ready for spring! Even though everyone is still thick and fuzzy, there is some intense shedding happening! We can’t wait for summer and to see more of you all out at the ranch ☀️💚

Happy first day of spring!🪻💚 Even though winter seems to still be in full swing in Summit County, we are gearing up for our spring and summer events and programs!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our very own, Rose Haas. Rose was a dedicated member of SVHC, and faced every day with determination, kindness, and humor. She will always be remembered by her pink or purple hair, her contagious smile, adventurous spirit, and her strong work ethic. She had a special way with the horses, and they were always better after she worked with them and spent time with them. Her laugh and smile spread to everyone around her, and her positive energy radiated into the hearts of us all. We will miss you dearly Rose, thank you for everything you did for us and for allowing us to know you🌹💚 Below is Rose’s obituary, please read and take this opportunity to learn more about how amazing Rose was. https://www.hendersonvillefh.com/obituaries/rosemary-haas

Being the new kid is always hard, even if you’re a horse🐴 Because SVHC has remained open and functioning this winter, we have been able to already start welcoming foster horses into our herd! A few days ago we welcome 3 new horses from Next Step Horse Rescue, Oreius, Dreamer, and Reigna💚 Oreius (large bay in first photo) and Dreamer (small bay in center of second photo) are new to SVHC, as we will share more information about their past, personalities and knowledge as we get to know them more😊 Some of you may remember Reigna (small chestnut in third photo), as she was with us last summer! She started out being very evasive of people and even other horses, unsure of how to live in a herd. She was very difficult to catch and a bit jumpy. By the end of the summer she had learn to trust some people, and was becoming more curious, instead of scared. We really started to see her personality shine through, and we can’t wait to continue working with her🥰💚 We want to shout out all of our amazing volunteers who have come out and braved the extreme weather in order to help us stay open this winter. We were unsure if it would be successful, but thanks to all of you who come out and help, we are able to start getting our program horses legged up, AND accepting foster horses💚 Thank you all and we can’t wait to work with these new fosters and get to know them more!

We had the BEST time yesterday with @wishcolorado out at the ranch🥰💚 Our Wish Kid from Florida wanted a snow day, and that is what she got. Oh, and did we mention meeting and grooming lots of different horses, and pony rides with Edgar?🐴💚 On behalf of all SVHC staff and volunteers, we are so thankful for Make-A-Wish for helping us organize this amazing day, we loved meeting everyone and had the best time✨💚❄️

Hello SVHC family! Penny wants to let you know that we have some events happening as soon as next week, and need some extra hands!💪 Next Wednesday, February 26th, we have some special guests coming to the ranch from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and we need volunteers to help handle ponies and oversee activities.

Our herd has been loving all of the fresh powder from the storm this weekend!❄️ And we love to watch them play in it💚🐴 We are working hard to remove and relocate all of the snow so we can ride in the arena! Stay tuned for updates about riding lessons and volunteer opportunities in the near future💚

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our fearless leader, Lizzie!!!🎂💚 Lizzie, our Executive Director, is the backbone of SVHC. We would not have the resources, community connections, or horse knowledge we have if it weren’t for her. Everyone please wish Lizzie a very happy birthday, we are so thankful to have her!🐴🥳

We don’t think it’s too much to ask for a ranch in Colorado where it’s 75 and sunny everyday 🤷‍♀️💚🐴 #horses #ranchlife #colorado

Everyone was feeling sporty this morning at SVHC!🥰❄️ Whenever the weather drastically changes, it affects our herd in many different ways. Sudden cold weather can disrupt a horses natural thermoregulation, causing behavioral changes like extreme alertness, restlessness, and overall excitement✨ Our herd loves to run around in the snow after taking shelter all night! Who do you recognize?💚🐴 #horses #ranchlife #colorado

Billy Bob (and all of us here at SVHC and Resaddled Thrift Store) would like to thank everyone who came out and volunteered in January❄️💚 We know the weather was harsh and cold, and it wasn’t easy work. But we couldn’t have done it without all of your help, so THANK YOU!🥰🙏 If you’d like to volunteer at the ranch for morning chores, head to the link in our bio to sign up. Only 46 more days until spring!!

Carbon, Annie and Gala are LOVING this warm sunny weather!🌞💚 Even though this winter has been fun, we are excited that there’s only 53 days until the first day of spring🌷 As the frigid temps level out, we are in the process of adding more programs and classes for y’all to get you out to the ranch and enjoy the rest of winter! Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for winter riding lesson info 🐴💚❄️

Even with the below freezing temps, our herd all have great insulating winter coats🥶😍 Check out how cute Parker looks with his frosted fur!

Mark your calendars for April 11th, 2025!🌼✨ SVHC and Summit Country Dance are hosting a spring dance! 🤠🌷 Bring your dancing shoes and favorite dance partner, learn a new dance, donate, and have a great time!💚🐴

Happy hump day from Paco!🥰 We’ve got some amazing events in the works so stay tuned for updates on everything💚 and thank you to anyone who has come out to volunteer at the ranch in the last week or so, it’s been freezing and we greatly appreciate you braving the weather for us 🥶💚

We just can’t resist snowy snouts 🥰💚 Meet Trigger! He is one of our privately owned boarded horses, and you may have seen him this summer being used in riding lessons and kids programs. He is such an amazing asset to our herd. One cool thing about him is his color! Despite looking like a sorrel, he is actually a palomino! You can see by his gray/blondish mane that he is not a sorrel, and his dark toasty color means he is technically a sooty palomino🧡 he’s a very unique horse through and through!

We want to say a huge thank you to anyone who has purchased something from our Amazon wishlist💚 and thank you to anyone who has donated to us in any capacity! We wouldn’t be able to operate without the help of donations from those who support us, and we are so thankful for that🥰🐴💚 If you are interested in donating, please check out the link in our bio for different options. Thank you all!

Did you know SVHC’s main source of funding comes from Resaddled Thrift Store?👔🐴 Located at 252 Warren Ave in Silverthorne, we are ALWAYS looking for volunteers to help at the shop😎 Whether you need community service hours, or are just looking for a way to help out a good cause, please call the Thrift Store at 970-409-2565. Thank you all for all of the support and volunteer hours!

We are offering winter riding lessons! Because we don’t have a covered riding area, we are running horsemanship focused riding lessons. Take your time to catch, groom and tack up your horse, and practice particular aspects of riding to help you and your horse🐴💚 For more info or to schedule, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. We look forward to seeing you all out at the ranch this winter! ☃️💚

2024 was such an amazing year for us at SVHC, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of all of our amazing volunteers and members💚 This year we were able to help find 13 horses their new forever homes! While some are staying at SVHC, others went elsewhere to their new homes, and we wish all the best for them. It is because of all of our volunteers that these horses are able to get the training, desensitizing, and riding practice that makes them more adoptable. So cheers to all who support us and our mission, cheers to 2024, and we can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store! 🐴🥂💚

From one of our long time volunteers. It is with a very heavy heart I put this post up. A dear friend for over 40 years passed away a few days before Christmas very unexpectedly. She was found on her couch a few days later surrounded by her faithful 3 pups. One of the pups will stay with her niece and the other two are looking for their forever loving home. Paris is 11, Mini Aussie and Murphy 9 (cattle dog/heeler mix). They were my friend's life. They spent the majority of their lives not really going many places except some car trips to Meeker and Taos. They love their fenced in backyard. I am not aware of any health concerns. They are located in Boulder. Please let me know if you know anyone who might be looking for some furry friends and please feel free to reach out with any questions! This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Please share to help these pups find a forever home for 2025.

Hello and happy Saturday from Tiny Tim 💚🥰

We have big news!!! We are launching Winter Riding Classes!💚 While we cannot offer the same riding lessons that we offered in the summer due to our outdoor facilities, we still wanted to offer riding opportunities to our members. This class is more focused on horsemanship basics, with riding time as well! For beginner riders, the class will focus on things like catching and tacking up your horse, and riding basics such as posture and position. For intermediate/advanced riders, the class will focus on different aspects of riding, such as bareback balance practice, no stirrup riding, and other things like that. For more information or to schedule, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we look forward to seeing you out at the ranch all winter! 💚🐴☃️

Merry Christmas from everyone (and every horse😉) at SVHC! Have a safe and happy holiday!💚🎄🐴

On Friday, December 6th, Summit Valley Horse Center had a huge opportunity to step up and help our local friends at Summit County Animal Control and Summit Fire & EMS. A horse was involved in a truck and trailer accident on I70, and the poor thing was in rough shape. Amazingly, Summit Fire & EMS along with SCAC were able to get the mare out of the crushed trailer, onto the SCAC trailer, and transport her to SVHC. There she was given food, heated water, first aid, and lots of time to rest. Over the next 48 hours, the mare continued to allow SVHC staff and SCAC to asses her injuries, replace her bandages, and of course give her some gentle scratches and pets. Her owner, who was amazingly uninjured during the accident, was able to come pick her up and take her home on Sunday, December 8th. We are so glad to be able to provide a safe shelter for horses in emergency situations, and are so happy to work closely with Summit County Animal Control and Summit Fire & EMS. It is because of their help that this mare was able to make it out to SVHC and begin her recovery💚

We want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out today and last Saturday for our holiday pony rides!💚❤️ We had the best time with everyone, and are wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday. We will continue to have events and programs throughout the winter when weather permits, so keep an eye out for new and upcoming opportunities to come out to the ranch!

Can you name something more adorable than a big handsome horse taking a nap on a bed of hay?🥹❤️ Despite what some may think, we do not need to blanket or cover any of our horses that we currently have boarded at SVHC. Why is this? Because even though we experience snow, wind, and cold temperatures all at over 8,000 feet, we also experience beautiful and warm sunshine almost every day☀️✨ All of our horses have very fuzzy winter coats and various forms of shelter to keep them insulated and dry from the snow at night, and during the day they have the nice warm Colorado sunshine to fuel their naps 😴🐴💚 #horse #horseriding #colorado #summitcounty #horsereels #snowday
