Amazing what they do to rehabilitate and adopt out horses that people can no longer care for.

Wow...this is the BEST, most Professional Horse Rescue I have ever been too! Clean, well taken care of horses, and the volunteers are AMAZING! Colleen, Jaqui and all the other volunteers were dedicated to finding me EXACTLY what I was looking for....TAHOE! We are SO blessed to be allowed to offer him his FOREVER home!

I have a dual relationship with Drifter's...volunteer and adopter. I love being a volunteer and helping to find forever homes for such deserving animals. And I love being the person who provides a forever home for three DHOH horses. Drifter's takes excellent care of the horses they rescue and is diligent in its efforts to assure that the horse and people adopting the horse are a good match. It is heartwarming to see the changes that happen when horses are rescued from bad situations and then find themselves in a place with good food and loving care. Their whole demeanor/attitude is improved. The Annie Project prevents retired dude ranch horses from going to the auction with its risky outcomes and puts them in loving homes instead.

We hope strongly that all of the beautiful horses at this facility find great homes, with no thanks to the staff at Drifters.My wife had a wonderful relationship with one of the horses she found out was given to Drifters, and with zero knowledge of how the adoption process works, and with no price on her good friend, we offered money for him. This was denied with a cost way higher than expected. After then accepting the price for this horse, the staff then casually denied us the opportunity to adopt. After this, my wife was beyond upset. She was so sad to think she wouldn’t be able to get her good friend, and took the chance to talk to the staff once again and apologized for trying to get him at a lower price. This was taken well, so we thought... only to receive news that this horse was given to another home already. Distraught, and led on for over a week, my wife began to move on. But Monday came after a long weekend and we checked Drifter’s website only to find that the horse we were trying to adopt was now on their website, trying to be adopted! Which to us seemed absolutely absurd and backwards. Why would a “loving adoption facility” who believes in finding great homes for their horses deny the opportunity to adopt a horse? Shouldn’t their intention be to give the horses to the best, most loving homes? And not only did they deny us, they then lied to us about the horse we wished to have become part of our family.We feel that if they actually cared about the horses well being, they’d be so absolutely excited to have someone like our family who was more than thrilled to have this horse. Any adoption center should pray to have people like us to adopt from them.We have a fabulous home with two other geldings and the cost of owning a horse is no surprise. We would have given him the best home imaginable.So, proceed Drifters with caution knowing our story, know that the staff have a big ego and have no intention of giving the horses to a good loving home. They are in it for whatever best suits them.(In addition to your reply)We are so so disappointed that egos got in the way just because we have never adopted and didnt know you'd be so offended that we tried to get him cheper, and still after agreeing to pay the price after trying to negotiate, willing to show bank statements what ever it took, and all they simply told us no we found another home for him. We were agreed on a price over the phone was told we can get him, then suddenly told he was In another home when he was not and is still available for adoption. It's just seems so absurd when we have a great home for him isn't that the purpose of this foundation??? So so disappointed with our experience trying to adopt a horse that needs a home.

I can't say enough great things about DHOH. The people who run it, volunteer their time are top notch. The facilities are beautiful and maintained. We moved from TX to CO in early Sept. 2020 with our 2 ottbs (both rescues and one old/retired). Sadly my younger horse got colic and passed in Oct. leaving my senior distraut. I searched local rescues, visited DHOH, adopted a horse from them. Loved him and DHOH so much that I adopted a 2nd a month later. Pictured is DHOH Saylor, DHOH Rustler, and my senior ottb Zee.

Jacqui was pleasant to deal with in such a difficult time. When my horse left, I knew he was in good hands and would find an amazing home because of DHOH. More places like this and people like Jacqui need to exist.

Very responsive and very knowledgeable. They have done a great job of trying place the right horse for my family. It is a beautiful facility and the horses seem very well cared for.I'm not sure they do as much training with the horses as other groups. Very well could just be the few horses we were looking at hadn't had a chance to go through much training, but that would be the only downside. I think this is a well-organized, caring group doing a good job at the police horses appropriately.

Every person I interacted with at DHOH was kind, knowledgeable and caring. I adopted my wonderful horse from them and couldn’t be more grateful. They’re a great organization.

The people are so kind and down to earth. They genuinely care for the horses, and want to make sure that they go to the perfect forever home. Laid back, and a peaceful place! Would highly recommend!

An amazing organization that is dedicated to finding the best home for each and every horse. The dedication of everyone here is incredible. We have now adopted six equines from DHOH and could not be happier with the process, the continued support from them and each equine is the perfect fit for our family.

Drifters has a beautiful facility, friendly staff, and horses that are clearly well cared for. The volunteers and staff here are noticeably passionate about the care and proper placement of these rescue horses. If you are a future adopter, look no further. They are more than willing to help you find a perfect fit.

Be careful about this group. While I am grateful for their mission to save horses, they do have some slimy sales tactics. I called about a few horses and got different responses about availability, training and skills. They tried to bate and switch on me a few times. We would talk about one horse then as I got more interested they would talk about another and be very pushy about the wrong one.
