As a mission-focused project to reduce the number of horses in transition, Battle on the Rockies is a horse show exclusively designed to showcase and promote the adoption of rescue horses. The event unites Colorado’s equine rescues and trainers in identifying, selecting and training horses in transition, and then featuring them in a competition before equine enthusiasts and prospective adopters. In 2019, ten Colorado horse rescues collaborated to showcase the versatility of adopted and adoptable horses.
