Established in 2005, the Cowgirl Spirit Rescue Ranch's (CSRR) mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home horses in need and to promote equine care. Based out of Cashmere, WA, we are excited to offer an equine rescue resource to the Central Washington area.

The Evolution of Cowgirl Spirit
-
2005: Cowgirl Spirit Rescue Drill Team
-
Cowgirl Spirit was established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity, establishing itself as the first equestrian rescue d​rill team. Horses were rescued from slaughter auctions and trained to do competitive mounted drill before being adopted to the public.

2011: Cowgirl Spirit Equine Rescue

Cowgirl Spirit shifted it's focus to rescue only, foregoing competition and drill riding.

-
2017: Retired
-
Cowgirl Spirit took a break from active rescue, but maintained an online presence and continued to support other rescues.​

2020: Cowgirl Spirit Rescue Ranch

Cowgirl Spirit moved to Cashmere, Washington as a ranch where horse management and training is overseen by Diamond J Training.​

OUR RESCUES
Kimber
Kimber is a 6 year old 15hh bay roan BLM mustang mare from the Warm Springs HMA. She was selected for this year's mustang makeover competition, but her trainer was unable to compete with her due to life changes and COVID-19. Kimber arrived with internal leg abscesses and a superficial wound to her face from trailer loading. Cowgirl Spirit is in the process of gentling and training her. She will be available for adoption in Spring 2021.
Freya
Freya is a 12 year old 14hh black mustang mare from the Yakama Indian Reservation. She was part of a combined rescue effort by SAFE (Save a Forgotten Equine) and King County Animal Control to save her and 39 of her herd mates that were being hoarded. This was dubbed as the Fall City 40. Freya arrived on our ranch in January 2020. She was underweight, 10 months pregnant, unhandled and terrified of people. She delivered a healthy filly at the end of March. We have since weaned her filly and have started her training. We hope she will be available for adoption in early 2021.
