A quickly expanding course in the Department of Equine Sciences at Colorado State University, works to train and rehabilitate rescue horses in an effort to find them purposeful roles at new homes. As part of the national Right Horse Initiative, CSU has partnered with horse shelters that care or horses-in-transition that have been abused, neglected or whose owners can no longer care for them. Students of the course work with these horses and train them for new roles at suitable homes.
