A Chance of a Lifetime is a New Mexico 501(c)3 not for profit located in Santa Fe County with a focus on the horse/human relationship and its potential for healing. Our goals stretch far beyond rescuing and adopting out horses. We are one of the few organizations which bridges the gap left by horse rescues. We give safe haven to horses that have been brutalized and/or starved and usually suffer from PTSD.
We are a place where horses deemed dangerous, untouchable or worthless are treated with deep compassion and provided the time to heal from often times unthinkable trauma.

We have the capacity to develop a heartfelt relationship with traumatized horses so they become confident, connected and trusting. Some horses can overcome their past and be trained then adopted out. Others are provided a forever home, this time at the hands of kind human beings. As soon as it is possible, everyone is given a job to do.

An essential part of our program is facilitating ways for these horses to interact and work with people who are likewise challenged in their personal lives. These horses have a chance to make the difference for humans who need help. All who come here get the chance to transform, and to heal, a chance to let go of our stories and a chance to become a valuable part of the herd. We get another chance at life.
