What Castleton Ranch Horse Rescue Inc does
Mission
To provide, resuce, rehabilitation, and lifetime sanctuary to those horses who are at risk of needless slaughter, have been the victims of inhumane care and abuse and those who are old/injured and have been abandoned and have nowhere to go.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Provide rescue, rehabilitation, and lifetime sanctuary for approximately 84 horses as of December 31, 2024. The Helping Hooves Program was established in 2015 to try and reduce the number of horses that end up at an auction and most likely have a bad ending. We have educational programs to assist and educate first time horse owners about basic horse care and management. In addition to this we also have owner assistance programs with regard to financially supporting the castration of colt studs and breeding stallions and to assist financially with dignified euthanasia for those horses who were old and suffering from ill health. Many owners send these horses to auction but our program will hopefully give them an option to treat their horse humanely and with dignity. Sending an old and or injured horse to auction is not the answer.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $1.7M to $1.9M (+11%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

63% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CASTLETON RANCH HORSE RESCUE INC.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

Where its funders are
63% of CASTLETON RANCH HORSE RESCUE INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $807k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
