The Annie Project was created to offer Dude and Guest Ranches a new option for retiring horses. The Annie Project was born in June, 2017, through the relationship between Drifter’s Hearts of Hope, C Lazy U Ranch and The Colorado Dude and Guest Ranch Association.
The Mission of the program is to give dude and guest ranches a new option for retiring their horses...an option that will keep them safe from auction and out of danger of entering the slaughter pipeline. Our goal is to create a lasting, symbiotic relationship with all members of the CDGRA (and eventually the NDGRA) and have the opportunity to find these deserving horses loving and forever homes in their retirement/transitional years. In exchange for the horses, DHOH will offer participating ranches a tax-deductible donation receipt per horse as well as social media and website promotion. The Annie Project is a sustainable program which not only helps the horses, but also helps the ranches! How You Can Help
To make The Annie Project a success, we need folks to care about what happens to dude and guest ranch horses once they are no longer useful to the ranch. Please patronize Annie Project Approved Dude and Guest Ranches, encourage your family and friends to do the same, and make your choices known on social media!
