At Charis Ranch, rescue horses are changing the lives of at-risk children.

Rescue Horses Rescuing Youth

Two things have defined Tracy Cookman since childhood: her drive to help those unable to help themselves and her love of horses. In 2009, those two passions came together when she organized the rescue of 11 PMU foals from slaughter—an act that would shape her life. Rescuing horses became her mission. From auctions to feedlots to neglect cases, Cookman took in horses deemed broken then cast aside, and provided them sanctuary.

Though working with horses was rewarding, Cookman felt a calling to save more than just equines. In 2010, she began Charis Youth Ranch, a nonprofit program in the foothills of Northern Colorado that utilizes equine-assisted learning to help at-risk youth.

Her herd of 28 rescue horses was key. “I felt like the Lord made it clear to me that these broken horses would heal broken children,” she says.

Based on their shared passage through trauma, abuse, or neglect, a connection between youth and horse is forged.

Ranch Sorting Drills For a Dull Horse

Some horses are born eager to hunt a cow, while others—no matter how broke—would rather conserve energy and hang back. A horse that's dull to your leg or slow to react can make working a cow frustrating and unproductive. The goal isn't just to get through the run—it's to teach your horse to drive up into a cow with purpose and maintain forward momentum without constant kicking or nagging from you.
