Join the Healing Journey at Metaphorse

At Metaphorse, nestled in the breathtaking Spring Canyon of Montrose, Colorado, we’re not just rescuing horses – we’re pioneering a revolutionary approach to healing that transforms both equine and human lives. Your support can make a profound difference in this journey of mutual rescue and recovery.

The Impact of Your Support

Every dollar you contribute ripples out in waves of healing:

  • Equine Rescue: We’ve saved over 100 horses from neglect and abuse, giving them a second chance at life.
  • Human Healing: More than 500 individuals have found hope and healing through our programs, including veterans with PTSD, at-risk youth, and individuals recovering from trauma.
  • Community Building: Our work strengthens the local community, promoting empathy, understanding, and connection across species.

Why Your Support Matters Now

As we celebrate 10 years of transformative work, we’re at a crucial juncture:

  1. Expanding Our Reach: With your help, we can rescue 50% more horses and serve 75% more clients in the next year.
  2. Innovating Therapy: We’re developing new programs that push the boundaries of equine-assisted therapy, requiring investment in research and training.
  3. Enhancing Facilities: To provide the best care for our horses and clients, we need to upgrade our facilities to be more accessible and environmentally sustainable.

  • $50 provides a day of nutritious food for one of our rescue horses
  • $250 sponsors a therapy session for a veteran struggling with PTSD
