Mark your calendars- it's full speed ahead at HPL!
Spring is coming and HPL is gearing up. Our "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors" project is in the beginning stages, we are announcing our spring fundraiser, and our lecture series continues this month.
Meet Larry
Have you seen Larry around the ranch? He has offered to be our new volunteer coordinator and we are ecstatic to have him. His goal is short and sweet- "Happy horses, happy humans". If you are a Wednesday or Saturday volunteer, here is your go-to guy!
Fiesta is officially up for adoption! After her vet check it has been decided that she will be available as a companion only. Fiesta is in her mid-twenties and enjoys quiet, relaxed grooming sessions. Interested in learning more about Fiesta? Check out her bio on our website or call 303-216-0141 to set up an appointment to meet her.
We are so excited to welcome Dr. Kayle Austin to HPL! She will be giving a lecture on basic first aid, followed by a demonstration of proper leg bandaging, and an example first aid kit.
Learn more about Dr. Austin-
Dr. Kayle Austin graduated from Colorado State University in 2017 and started her own mobile large animal practice (Austin Veterinary Services) to service livestock and equine needs for Northeastern Colorado. Kayle grew up in rural Colorado on her family ranch and has enjoyed many years of personal and professional work with horses.
Kayle loves working with youth organizations, as well as educating on animal care and husbandry. She truly appreciates the bond that exists between a horse and owner. She enjoys spending time every day with her very first horse, “Lightning” a 26-year-old Quarter Horse gelding. She looks forward to meeting all of you and discussing Equine First Aid!
How cute are Lauren and Sport? Lauren has been riding Sport for us to ensure he is fit and ready to go to his forever home. Interested in learning more about Sport? Check out his bio on our website or call 303-216-0141 to make an appointment to visit him.
Prepped and Ready
Here at HPL one of our highest priorities is making sure our horses are well prepared to go to their new homes. This includes not only rehab from any injuries, but also good training. Pictured here is a group of volunteers who took our horses for an off-property walk. By changing up their environment the horses get used to seeing new things and can be comfortable and relaxed in any situation. From left to right: Breezy, Sundance, Mocha, QT Val, and Elsa.
This year we are taking our fundraising to a new level. Please join us for our Galloping Gala fundraiser on
April 26th at 6pm. This formal event will be held at the Arvada Center and will include food, drinks, live auction, and more! Keep checking back to find out more details.
Good Fences Make Good Neighbors
Thanks to the Dennis Friends Foundation we will be getting new, safer fencing for our horses this spring. If you or someone you know wants volunteer hours, or if you have a work group who needs a community service project, look no further! Email us at:

Isis has been excelling in her forever home! Check out what her owners have to say out her: "Isis is a 18 year old Appendix Mare, we adopted her from HPL in 2012...Full of sass and striving everyday! She has run barrels and poles and loves to be on the trail!"
Remember Nina? She stole the hearts of all who met her, including our assistant barn manager Terri. Nina found her forever home with Terri and now that she is old enough, has also begun her training. This month Nina and Terri had their first ride together. Congratulations you two!
We love happy endings! Send us your HPL adoption success story to
