Colorow Care Center Visit
We went to the Colorow Care Center in Olathe several weeks ago to help cheer up the seniors . We took wonderful Pumpkin and Sunny for the residents to see from their rooms - a few were able to come outside and touch the horses as well.
It was great to see the excitement from residents - horses are such healing animals and we were happy to bring smiles to their faces.

The therapy center houses over 50 rescued horses and works hand-in-hand with End of the Trail Rescue which rescues horses and cares for them until 'the end of their lives.' Equine therapy offers a different approach to trauma related therapy as well as physical and mental health treatment.

Rebuilding Broken Dreams, and Fostering Trust and Love
All the horses at Dream Catcher Therapy Center are rescue horses that have been abused, abandoned, or neglected. They help nurse DCTC clients back to health, while at the same time, they are nursed back to heath as well. Kathy Hamm, Executive Director of DCTC, says that “they are the heart and soul of the facility.”
