KAHUBA.org Mustang Rescue & Veterans Wellness Ctr

KAHUBA.org is an umbrella organization committed to “INSPRING WHOLE WORLD HEALING, ONE BEING AT A TIME!" via outreach arms benefiting Humans, Animals and Nature that embrace multi-nonprofit collaboration.  

KAHUBA.org is thrilled to announce Mustangs and Heroes Wellness Program, expanding our experiential and educational outreach supporting HORSE rescue/rehab/stewardship; HUMAN holistic health/wellness outreach; and NATURE regeneration/stewardship.  Since 2008, KAHUBA programs have been operating on two privately owned ranches located south and southwest of Denver (a 35-acre rural ranch in Castle Rock, and a 12-acre high-county wilderness refuge in Sedalia's Pike National Forest).  

KAHUBA partners the Human Hero with the Wild Mustang, cultivating healing through connection and holistic wellness, fostering healthy relationships and community.  

Douglas County ARPA Grant Committee commented in April 2023: “KAHUBA offers some of the STRONGEST & MOST INNOVATIVE evidence-based SOLUTIONS to support mental, emotional & physical resilience and suicide prevention” by curating programs & education via KAHUBA Animal & Nature Sanctuaries; Human Holistic Outreach; plus Service & Training. KAHUBA programs annually help 15,000+ youth, teens, adults, seniors, minorities, disabled, emergency/first responders, active military, veterans & families, along with 1,000+ animals. 

KAHUBA has joined hands with H.O.O.V.E.S., Operation Equine, Mustang Mountain Project, Veterans Rescue Ranch, and Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center along with several collaborative partners to serve our at-risk community in exponentially greater numbers year round, while also providing a safe haven for Wild Mustangs in desperate need of refuge. rehabilitation and lifelong care and love.  To protect our sanctuary lands for life, we have restored health back to the once over-grazed pastures using restorative ranching techniques, rotational grazing, and Paddock Paradise horse tracks.

HELPING OUR HUMAN HEROS 

KAHUBA Sanctuaries are in close proximity to a densely populated at-risk veterans community and active military personnel, with easy access for emergency/first responders and their families commuting from throughout Colorado, making our family-friendly ranches an idyllic escape to experience transformative healing. 

Our Equine Assisted Therapy and Holistic Wellness Programs, introduce whole-being wellness and vitality by exploring heart connection, natural health practices, mindfulness and healing arts, along with tools to self-soothe and renew hope for all. 

CREATING A SOLUTION FOR OUR DISPLACED & DISAPPEARING WILD MUSTANGS

Our programs bring awareness to the legacy of the Wild Mustang and the issues both on range and off range, creating solutions that foster healthy community.  Our Wild Mustangs, spread all across the US, are facing death and extinction at an alarming rate, being legally removed from our Federal BLM land due to amended legislation to the "Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971".  

5700 Wild Mustangs belonging to important family bands have been slated to be removed from the open range they have roamed for hundreds of years, naturally reseeding and fortifying the land which BLM now owns.  Consequently, 3000 Mustangs are now suffering and wasting away in tight holding pens in Canyon City with no adoption in sight, likely headed into kill-buyers hands, headed to Mexico for slaughter.

KAHUBA supports affiliate nonprofits who offer mustangs proper training programs, and employment opportunities to at-risk program graduates, preparing the mustangs for eventual adoption into vetted forever homes and therapeutic healing programs. 

YOU CAN HELP! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE TO SAVE OUR MUSTANG HERDS, PRESERVE COLORADO'S WESTERN HERITAGE & HUMAN HEROES TOO!

Your donation today begins the process to relocate Mustangs from holding pens in Souther Colorado.  We have solutions and seasoned teams ready to properly care for, train, and rehome each wild horse to a carefully vetted and educated forever steward.

A new detrimental bill called the "Return to Freedom Act" cut spending to the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro Program causing even more Mustangs to be slaughtered with no notice.
