Repeat. OUR HISTORY
In 2014, Drifter's Hearts of Hope was founded to give at-risk horses a second chance at a forever home. The organization's namesake is a papered Quarter Horse: a champion roping horse who ended up as a stray after an injury. He went from being found on the side of the road to the heart horse for the organization that would become Drifter's Hearts of Hope. HOW TO HELP

C Lazy U decided to take the auction out of the equation and, in the summer of 2017, started sending Drifter’s Hearts of Hope the horses from their herd that were no longer good fits for their program. These horses were various ages, some older, some just into their teens, but all could not continue as working dude ranch horses. They could still be amazing pleasure horses, and we found each horse had amazing qualities that potential adoptees were enamored by. We found all of these horses homes within weeks of their arrival to our rescue. We decided to call our program "The Annie Project" in honor of Annie. We have now expanded our program to the Colorado Dude and Guest Ranch Association and have already enrolled several more dude and guest ranches and we are working on expanding our reach throughout the state, neighboring states, and one day, the nation!
