OUR HORSES
Welcome to End of the Trail Rescue
A 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in Olathe, CO - Serving our communities for more than 20 years
We are the Sister Organization of Dream Catcher Therapy Center and our main goal is to rescue horses and provide them a Second Chance. Many of our Rescue Horses are known as 'Four Legged Therapists' and assist with our Therapy Programs at Dream Catcher Therapy Center.
End of the Trail offers horses a second chance to be cared for, nurtured and valued. We provide shelter, quality food and humane treatment to horses that have been abused, neglected or unwanted. We also educate the community about animal abuse and how or where to report these situations.
We are in the process of expanding our services and capabilities to meet the growing needs in our area. We want to ensure that we provide for horses and human needs for the foreseeable future and with your help, we can build an amazing legacy for horses and people in need.

Meet 'Hug A Mooch' and 'Ben'! These Miniature Hereford Show Steers will be living with us at End of the Trail Rescue, Inc.. These two brothers came to us from Texas and arrived last night. Bill & Ali Hamm made the trip to Texas to pick them up from two lovely families that wanted these Championship steers to live their lives out at our Rescue, instead of going to market.
Tiffany & Tyrel Lashmet, Ben's owners and Eric & Micah Black, Hug A Mooch's owners think the brothers will make a great addition as 4-Legged Therapists to our Mental Health programs and we agree! 
Miniature Hereford Steers are known to possess a gentle disposition making them easy to handle for people of all ages.
Eric & Micah Black have been generous supporters of our Rescue and Therapy Center for many years and have developed a strong bond with Director Kathy & Bill Hamm's daughter, Ali. In fact, Hug A Mooch's name was inspired by Ali. Ali once told Eric that you could either give someone a hug or a mooch or if you wanted you could give them a Hug a Mooch. The name stuck!
Give us a call @ (970) 901-0502 and make an appointment to come meet Ben & Hug A Mooch and of course visit our wonderful Rescue Horses -
Thank you to our End of the Trail Rescue Horse Sponsors! We could not do our important work without you!

We are here to help you feed your horses in difficult times - WESTERN SLOPE HAY BANK!
If you, or someone you knows needs a helping hand - we are here to give you support. Our mission at the Western Slope Hay Bank is to help keep horses with their families, so they don’t end up getting sold at auctions. Realistically, we know that the majority of horses that end up at auctions are going to go to slaughter. Many people recognize their horses’ value as extending far beyond their pedigree, which would be an unimaginable option for them to have their horses go to auction.
End of the Trail Rescue partnered with Colorado Unwanted Horse Alliance (CUHA) have provided support to many over the years. We are getting MANY calls asking for our help. So please reach out to us before it becomes a crisis situation for you and your horse - we can help!
We donated hay through our HAY BANK to help the horses that were rescued from the backcountry near Dolores - Read More about the Abandoned Horses. Our Hay Bank was able to help the rescuers with hay for these horses in desperate need.
