SVHC has 4 new full time employees!🐱💚 We are pleased to introduce you to our new barn kitties! Meet Mr. T, Freddie, Ozzy, and Stevie✨👏 These cuties free roam around the barn and property, hard at work keeping the critters at bay. We are so excited to have them!

Meet Dave, one of our amazing adoptable horses at SVHC!💚🐴 From Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue, Dave is a tall, dark and handsome gelding looking for his new forever. He is in his mid teens, and has some osselets in his hind legs, meaning he is sound for light riding in soft footing only. He was a part of a pack string in his past life, but is looking for an easier path. Oh, and he’s great with kids! Come meet Dave at Summit Valley Horse Center this summer!🐴✨💚

We are SO excited to introduce you to the newest addition to the SVHC herd…minis!🖤🐴💚 Meet Auggie🖤 and Sundae🍨, SVHC’s newest program ponies! Auggie is a gelding with the black head, and Sundae is a mare with the white stripe and cute pink nose💝 Auggie and Sundae came from an amazing family in Lyons, and we are so excited to introduce them to our programs. They’ve already mastered both of our obstacle courses, love being groomed by kids and adults alike, and are enjoying seeing all there is to see at SVHC💚 Thanks to some extremely generous donors, SVHC was able to purchase Auggie and Sundae, so they are official additions to our already amazing herd of ponies and horses. We love them so much already, and can’t wait for you all to meet them!💚🐴 Interested in introducing your kids, family members, friends, or yourself to Auggie, Sundae, and our other amazing horses and ponies?

Did you know that at the end of every rainbow, there are some beautiful rescue horses?💚🌈 from left to right, Clementine ( @wildheartshaven ) Holly Ella, Terra, and Amaris (Troublesome Creel Horse Rescue) are all adoptable and looking for their new forever✨. Clementine is a 2 year old BLM mustang looking to continue growing physically and mentally, and is willing and smart. Holly Ella would love to go to a more experienced handler, someone who can take her on trail rides and let her have some independence. Terra would make an amazing pasture companion after spending her life as a broodmare, and Amaris is a sporty little pony who loves to get to work. Shoot us a message, email This email address is being protected from spambots.

We couldn’t be more proud of our amazing Summit County kids at the Middle Park Fair🍀💚 They all worked incredibly hard all summer. And we can’t wait to see all that these amazing kids continue to accomplish🐴💚

It’s 4-H Fair Day!🍀💚 We were so excited to have 7 Summit County kids come to the @middleparkfairrodeo . It’s been such an amazing day of riding, learning, and winning ribbons of course!💝 After working hard all summer on showmanship skills, riding skills, poster boards and more, we couldn’t be more proud of our Summit County 4-Hers. We hope to see all of you and more next year as we continue growing the horse project in Summit County!🐴💚

Tomorrow, August 3rd, is the western day of the @middleparkfairrodeo 4H Horse Show!🍀💚 We have some of our amazing Summit County kids going and showing, and we would love if you came out to show support!🐴 Come to the Kremmling fair grounds, and enjoy a beautiful day of fun filled horse show excitement! Photo featuring Trigger from last year, trying to sneak a snack🤣💚

We are so thankful we’re finally getting some rain in the high country. It’s important to remember that after the storm, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful rainbow (and also beautiful horses if you’re lucky!)🌈💚🐴

Despite being busy with programs and events, we have some amazing fostered rescue horses we have been doing lots of work with to help them find their forever homes🐴💚 Meet Amaris, a cute pony from Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue with lots of go! She would make an amazing pony for a confident kid. She loves getting out and getting to work💚 Meet Paco! Paco is a paso fino in his early 20’s from Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue who is ready to be your reliable trail ride partner. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Paco since the summer of 2024, and he has come a long way (even becoming a program horse for beginner groundwork and participating in riding lessons!). Paco spent his previous life being an endurance trail racer, and the open trails are his happy place🧡 Along with being an amazingly smooth ride thanks to his gait, sure footed and enthused to go, Paco is also very handsome🥰💚 Meet Dave! Dave, from Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue, is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome🖤 In his previous life, Dave was a part of a pack string. He developed osselets in his hind legs, so he may be sound for light riding, but nothing more. He absolutely loves attention and is a true gentleman, and would make a beautiful addition to any herd💚 Meet Terra! Terra is a 20 year old registered Andalusian mare from Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue. She was primarily a broodmare for most of her life. She still has lots of go, and loves getting to work. While we have not ridden her yet, it’s possible she is green broke under saddle. Stay tuned for updates on this beautiful mare!💚🥰 Meet Holly Ella! Holly Ella is a 15 year old Tennessee Walker from Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue. She was previously a part of a lesson program, but it became clear that that was not the path for her. She’s broke under saddle, and seems like she would enjoy the open trails more than an arena💚 Who could blame her? Meet Espi! Espi is a 2 year old BLM mustang mare from New Mexico, picked up by Wild Hearts Haven. She is easy to catch, loves attention, and is enthused on getting to work. She has been making milestones with her groundwork, and we are so excited to see how she progresses💚 Meet Cleme

THANK YOU so much for all of the support yesterday at our Keystone Ranch golf tournament💚⛳️ We couldn’t have done it without our amazing golfers, volunteers, Keystone Ranch employees, donors and sponsors💚 We love this event, getting to bring a few of our amazing horses for you all to meet while you golf, spread the word about our mission, and enjoy a beautiful day outside at a beautiful course. Thank you to everyone who played a part in putting this together, until next year!⛳️🐴

So we heard you love paints and gaited horses…what about both?🖤🤍 This beautiful mare is Holly Ella from Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue✨ Holly Ella is a Tennessee Walker in her mid teens looking for her new forever. After being used as a lesson horse, she was sent to the Centennial Livestock Auction, where she was picked up by our friends at Troublesome Creek. Being a lesson horse simply wasn’t the best life for her. She needs a more confident rider, someone who understands her gait and her personality more. We are so excited to continue working with Holly Ella both on the ground and under saddle, and keep you updated on her progress! If you have any questions or are interested in meeting Holly Ella, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , or shoot us a message here. Holly Ella is looking for her second chance. Is that you?💚🐴

We think it’s about time someone gets a proper reintroduction…✨💚 This handsome gelding is Paco🧡 From Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue, Paco is a Paso Fino in his early 20s, ready to tear up the trails with his new forever best friend. We have had the pleasure of having Paco at SVHC since 2024, and we have been so pleased with his progress. From his personality and demeanor growth, to becoming integrated into some of our beginner programs and even riding lessons, Paco is an absolute all star. Paco has recently gone on multiple trail rides off property, and it’s become clear that that is his happy place🧡 He was an endurance trail racer until his owner sadly passed away, and he was luckily picked up from auction by Troublesome Creek. English, western, bit or bitless, Paco is your next sure-footed trail partner ready to take you places🏔️💚 Want more information about Paco, or want to schedule a time to meet him? Please reach out! Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or call or text 970-389-9797. All adoptions are processed through the horse rescues in which the horses came from, applications are not processed through SVHC. SVHC provides meet and greets and training/nutrition information to the best of our knowledge through working with the horse. Paco deserves his new forever, could that be you?💚🐴

Meet Clementine🍊and Espi🕊️, our 2 newest fostered rescue horses💚🐴 From @wildheartshaven , Clementine and Espi are both 2 year old BLM mustangs from New Mexico. Before they were picked up by Wild Hearts Haven, these girls were on their way to long term holding, due to having maxed out on strikes. This means that they were passed on for adoption the maximum amount of time the BLM allows. These girls were unhandled, but Wild Hearts Haven has already made amazing progress to get them halter broke, lunging, exposed to obstacles, and even trimmed by the farrier! We are SO excited to continue working with them and watching them grow💚🐴

Sunday at 2pm, Hands on Horses public class. Suitable for 4 years old up. Learning how to halter a horse or mini donkey, lead, groom and safely interact.

Ready to run for the roses?🌹🐎 Misty sure is! Come to our Kentucky Derby Party at @silvercrownbar today starting at 2! Hat contest, games, food, mint juleps, and more! All benefitting SVHC! See you there in your Derby best💚🐎🌹

Meet Breezy✨🌼 Breezy is a beautiful and incredibly sweet BLM mustang mare that our amazing partner rescues @wildheartshaven and Troublesome Creek Horse Rescue picked up from auction. She arrived at SVHC at the end of the fall of 2025, where she quickly took to being handled by new people, including being trimmed by our farrier. Unfortunately, in early December of 2025 during an early snow storm, Breezy fell in the pasture, fracturing her hock. She has required x-rays, medication, injections, and other specialized treatments. She is responding very well to the healing process, being patient as she went from being on full stall rest, to having a bigger outdoor run in addition to her stall, to going on short walks, to now going for longer walks around the property, including walking over poles. Breezy’s journey to recovery is still a long one, and we are asking for your help. Specialized treatments are costly, but worth it for the well-being and healing of Breezy. If you’ve had the chance to meet her or interact with her, you know how special she is💚 Please head to the link in our bio to donate. You can give one time, or monthly. Thank you all for your support, and Breezy thanks you too!💚🐴 Breezy’s general expenses are currently being generously sponsored by the Silverthorne Police Department, but we are seeking help with her specialized vet care. Thank you all!

Get ready to run for the roses!🌹💚 With our friends at @silvercrownbar we are hosting a derby party! Saturday May 2nd starting at 2 pm, wear your derby best, enjoy mint juleps and small bites, play games, and benefit SVHC!🐎💚 We can’t wait to see you all there!

Memory lane Monday!🐴💚 At SVHC, we are always looking for ways to grow, continuing to help horses find their forever homes and being a resource for our amazing Summit County community and beyond. But sometimes, it’s fun to look back to see how far we’ve come! The Pony Palace is a group of 4 sheds and runs that we primarily used to keep our mini horses and ponies in! Over the years, we’ve shifted to using it for horses of all shapes and sizes, now we use it to quarantine our newly arrived foster rescue horses. We’ve been trying out a new name, calling it the Quarantine Quad, but it doesn’t quite have the same ring that Pony Palace does💚🏰 We would be nothing without our amazing volunteers, thank you to everyone who helps us move forward and grow!💚🐴

Next Friday! Join us, April 24th, for a beginning of season potluck!💚🥙 Bring a dish and mingle with SVHC staff, volunteers, ReSaddled Thrift Store staff, and other community members!🐴💚 Head to the link in our bio to sign up, or text 303-717-7163 to RSVP!

It is with the heaviest hearts that we announce that today, our beloved Billy Bob passed away. Pushing 35 years old, Billy Bob came to SVHC in the spring of 2024 for what everyone thought would be one final summer of care. What we quickly found out is that Billy Bob not only intended on staying much longer, but he was going to take over SVHC in the process. We started letting Billy Bob roam the ranch during the day, and it quickly became a routine of letting Billy Bob out first thing in the morning. He explored the property all day, finding all of the best grass, greeting horses in their fields, breaking into the hay barn, or standing over the picnic table, waiting for scratches while you ate lunch. Billy Bob stole our hearts with his charming personality and his beautiful friendly face. He knew exactly what time breakfast and dinner was, and he certainly let you know if you were even a minute late! Billy Bob was a lifelong ranch horse, well equipped to handle himself while out in pasture. Today, Billy Bob let us know it was his time to leave us. He walked to greet some of his favorite herd mates, before he went to a more secluded corner of the property and laid down. He was surrounded by many of us as we watched him pass on. There will never be another horse like Billy Bob, he was truly one of a kind. We will miss him every day. Tomorrow, 3/15, SVHC will be closed as we mourn the loss of a pillar of our community. Please share your Billy Bob memories with us so he continues to live on. We love you Billy Bob, we will miss you💚🐴

Thank you all for your endless support, let’s help our local high schoolers look and feel their best for prom🪩🐴💚

Billy Bob appreciation post!💚 If you’ve been out to SVHC, you’ve probably met Billy Bob. He is an older gentleman (in this 30’s!) who roams the ranch during the day. You can usually find him eating his grain by the barn, or walking around visiting his favorite horses by their fields. We love you Billy Bob!💚🐴

We want to let you know that SVHC has a Platinum Seal of Transparency from @candiddotorg ! Transparency is a very important way in which we prove our commitment to our mission, our members, and to our horses. The Platinum Seal of Transparency is the leading symbol of accountability in the nonprofit sector, and we are always continuing to provide extensive and detailed information about our operations. Our mission will always be what drives us to continue to grow, and we couldn’t have gotten this far without the help of our amazing members and volunteers. Thank you all💚🐴

Finally some SNOW!🩵❄️ We are so glad to finally get some snow in the high country, it’s been a very dry winter which will certainly make for an even more dry summer. Our herd is definitely feeling excited in this chilly weather, finally putting their winter coats to good use! Keep coming snow!🙌🐴💚

Throwback Thursday!💚🐴 Sometimes it can be daunting when we look around SVHC and see everything we could improve upon, but then we look back and see how far we’ve come!!! In 2021, when we first occupied this property, a lot of our facilities were not what they are now!

Featured are some of our amazing rescues, including Cricket from @horse_rescue_mvhr (who sadly passed away recently💔), Boomer from @horse_rescue_mvhr , Ernie from @horse_rescue_mvhr (Currently being sponsored at SVHC!), and Valor from Next Step Horse Rescue💚🐴

Please read this flyer carefully, as SVHC has implemented new precautions to ensure we are doing everything we can to help stop the spread. While we are at a low risk, we still take every precaution possible, and require anyone who enters our property to do the same. Thank you all🐴💚

We had SUCH an awesome time with Best Buddies out at the ranch!💚🙌 If you are unfamiliar, Best Buddies is a nation wide program that helps to reduce the mental health stigma associated with disabilities. It teaches empathy, and acceptance of others that have differences, and creates a sense of belonging in the school system. We had some members from the Best Buddies from Summit Middle School come out, learn all about horse safety, grooming, leading, the power of taking care of a large animal, the power of teamwork and communication, and yes of course everyone got to see our chickens!☺️ Thank you to Best Buddies of Summit Middle School, and thank you to our amazing volunteers that help make programs like this possible!💚🙌🐴
