DreamCatchers Equine Rescue Inc.

It all started nearly 10 years ago when Paul bought Julie a horse named Raven.  Little did he know how this loving gesture would change the course of their lives forever.

 Not long after Raven came into their lives, El Tivo found his way into their hearts and home, then  Keeta, Pawnee, and Amir...and the herd began to grow.

Keeta was a yearling with a very sad start to her life.  Just after she was born, her mom accidentally stepped on her and broke her leg.  If that wasn't enough, she developed bacterial arthritis in her front knees that would eventually leave her completely incapable of bending her legs.  Her owner was going to have her euthanized because she could never be "useful".  Keeta was truly the first Rescue.  We gave her a chance.   As she grew, she became accustomed to her disability and she thrived.  Keeta found her perfect home with a young man who had cerbral palsy.  He could not ride, she could not be ridden but he could love her, and so he did and does to this day.

Pawnee and Amir now reside with Bill and Lisa Papi (Secretary/Treasurer) of Elizabeth good friends and supporters of DreamCatchers.   and El Tivo lives in Woodland Park with one of Julie's best friends, Sue. 

Raven is still Julie's best girl and lives at the ranch along with Beau, Pistol, Taz, Samson, Tigger, Little Bit and Slick...Julie and Paul's personal herd.

These horses chose their people and that was the beginning of our MISSION, which is to provide RESCUE, REHABILITATION, SOCIALIZATION, TRAINING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY LOVE AND RESPECT TO HORSES OF ALL BREEDS, AGES, GENDERS, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL ABILITIES AND WHEN AT ALL POSSIBLE MATCH THEM WITH THEIR HUMANS WHO WILL CHERISH THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
