Curly Horse Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation registered in Vermont, Connecticut. CHR does not have a physical location, but utilizes foster homes throughout the United States, Canada, and in Europe, to care for Curly Horses in need.

To provide a temporary and/or permanent, safe, loving and healthy environment for abandoned, neglected and abused equines.

Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang specializes in CRITICALLY ILL, NEO-NATAL, SICK AND/OR INJURED FOALS. Especially the ones that are near death’s door, needing literally 24/7 care, and they live with us in our nursery until they are strong enough to live outside. Along with this, we rescue other injured or newborn orphan animals as well. We have created a place where injured, special, abused and disabled kids and adults can come and spend the day with us. Visit our petting zoo, meet all of the critters and feel the peace that a visit here brings you. You will treasure the feeling of love, happiness and hope that you will find when you come and spend time with us.

Since 1999 we have been helping equines in need as well as their owners. We place horses, ponies, donkeys and hinnys in Washington State only. Please check out our Adopt an Equine page for the animals looking for their forever homes. We may only take in additional animals if the space is available.

It all began with a horse, a child and a dream. It was a sweltering summer day in July 2010 when 10-year-old Marcus climbed atop Gabe, the former party pony adopted by Hope Reins to serve as the first official ‘equine counselor.’ The red-haired foster boy wore a broad smile and sat upright as his counselor led Gabe around the pasture – unaware that he was the first of many more hurting kids that would enter the gates of this special place.

Yes, Kim Tschirret had a dream. The Raleigh mom of two and former marketing executive with Thomas the Tank Engine had recently read a remarkable book that not only touched her heart deeply but evoked a sense of personal purpose – a passionate mission she later could only attribute to God’s artful plan.

“Hope Rising” was the book – and its author, Kim Meeder, chronicled heart wrenching stories of abused horses she and her husband, Troy, rescued and the hurting kids who began to find hope and healing themselves while helping care for the extraordinary horses. The Oregon couple witnessed the natural connection between emotionally and physically wounded kids and horses – and embarked on an amazing journey by founding Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, which today is home to dozens of horses and has served thousands of kids and families.
