About Colorado Draft Horse Association

The Colorado Draft Horse Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting, preserving, and celebrating the legacy of draft horses across our great state.

Founded by a group of passionate horsemen and women, our association was built on the belief that the traditions of the past still have value today—especially when they bring people together.

Our mission is to educate the public, support responsible draft horse ownership, and create opportunities for community engagement through events, clinics, and shared experiences. From heritage farming to modern-day parades and wagon rides, we believe these gentle giants have a vital role in Colorado’s story.

Whether you’ve worked with draft horses for decades or recently welcomed your first team, we invite you to join our growing community of owners who are passionate about preserving and celebrating these incredible animals.
