Learning About LASSO Horse Rescue
“…Surveys of equine veterinarians suggest that the US has upwards of 150,000 abandoned, unwanted horses… needing homes… and that’s not including 50,000 wild horses held in captivity by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and another 40,000 wild horses roaming public lands in the US…”

6 Abandoned Horses in Montezuma County
“The community came together as a whole and in a HUGE way for this group of six horses. Individuals stepped up and made things happen to accomplish what would seem to be the impossible of trudging through four and around even eighteen-foot snow drifts in an area that does not see a plow to maintain the road structure during the winter months. Conditions can be treacherous, and a person needs to know what they are doing both for themselves and the livestock involved in this situation. We were wholeheartedly thankful to hear from Dolores County Search and Rescue in that they were going in physically to do recon. Denkai Animal Sanctuary has offered our support in sending some of the funding that was being raised to them once it comes in.”
LASSO is supporting these horses through our Community Hay Bank

Hay Bank
LASSO wants to help horse owners keep their animals when experiencing personal crisis and difficulty.
We supply a community Hay Bank in our locations to support large animals and prevent the need for relinquishing equines.
