We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving La Plata County and beyond. We are located in Durango, Colorado. Spring Creek Horse Rescue has been committed to saving equines for over 45+ years! We are dedicated to providing a second chance for abused, neglected, outgrown and unwanted equines of all breeds. We are a 100% anti-slaughter rescue that emphasizes the rehabilitation and placement of horses into loving, lifelong homes with qualified owners.​ Horses that aren't adoptable because of medical and abuse problems have a home for life here at the rescue.

We also help educate the public on better horse care, handling and nutrition, and act as the LA PLATA COUNTY HAY BANK, providing hay for our neighbors who are unable to feed their horses.

In order to care for as many horses as possible, Spring Creek relies on the generosity of individuals who volunteer their time and expertise, donate cash and supplies, and adopt the horses in our care.

See mini bios for all of the equines in our care here.

Meet our new rescues

We have a number of new horses at the rescue.  Click here to see our new horses on the rehab page.  Or you can donate to help us train and/or bring these horses back to health and ready for adoption. Horses unfit for adoption will live their lives out in peace here at the rescue. 

Visiting the Rescue

The rescue is located near Durango in beautiful southwest Colorado. We are open to individuals and groups by appointment only. Due to limited staffing we do not allow drop-ins. To make an appointment please contact us. 

Adopting a horse

Our ultimate goal is to find qualified, lifelong homes for the horses in our care. Please see our Adopt a Horse page for a description of the process and a list of available horses.
