Welcome to Our Community
Allegiance Ranch & Equine Rescue in Erie, Colorado, is a safe haven for veterans and first responders seeking healing and connection. Our mission is to help horses and heroes by offering a safe place for healing, developing a sense of purpose, and establishing meaningful connections between horses and humans.
Early Giving for Colorado Gives is officially OPEN! At Allegiance Ranch, programs for veterans and first responders are offered at no cost — because healing should never come with a price tag. You can support the herd that supports our heroes starting today.
– Dave Usher, Marine Veteran
“It’s meaningful to make a difference in the horses’ lives from being abused to total love and caring, which will help them get adopted out to a good family one day. I also like the events for veterans and their families. If you love horses and want to be a part of a great cause, this is the place for you. It’s like being part of a big family that all comes together to do something good, and in turn, you feel good about yourself.”

VETERANS
Whether you’re seeking camaraderie, a sense of purpose, or simply peace of mind, our equine therapy programs offer a unique opportunity to experience the healing power of horses.
FIRST RESPONDERS
In addition to veteran and active duty service members, we also welcome frontline first responders in our community including police, firefighters, and paramedics to take part in our programs.
VOLUNTEERS
Our ranch wouldn’t exist without the incredible group of volunteers who help care for our animals and support many of our programs. We welcome new volunteers monthly, no experience required!
Meet our Rescues!
Allegiance Ranch & Equine Rescue began with a mission to save horses from the horrors of the slaughter pipeline and extreme neglect. What started as a commitment to giving these majestic animals a second chance has grown into a broader rescue effort.
Today, in addition to horses, we care for donkeys, goats, chickens, and turkeys, all of whom have found safety and sanctuary at the ranch. Each rescue represents a life saved, and together, they contribute to the healing environment we offer for veterans and first responders.
