Centaur Rising (CR) is located at Anchorage Farm (AF) near Evergreen, Conifer and Bailey, Colorado.  Here eight acres of land are preserved as a pristine habitat for Rocky Mountain native wildflowers, grasses, trees, shrubs, wildlife and birds.  AF is adjacent to “critical deer and elk winter range” as designated by the Jefferson County Planning Commission.  Anchorage Farm has long endeavored to protect nature and the environment compatible with horse keeping.

AF also has abundant domestic flower gardens.  Horse manure is recycled as a viable soil amendment to native ground.  CR seeks to continue to pursue this mission by working with Colorado State University to make manure even more useful to gardeners.  This project is driven by scientific analysis of both the soil and the decomposing manure.  How about some free aged horse manure for your garden soil?

First-time horse owners rarely anticipate the environmental degradation that horses can cause.  People have no idea of the amount of land required to "pasture" a horse in Colorado.  CR seeks to educate local horse owners on environmental-protection-compatible horse keeping practices.  This also includes teaching the minimum impact of horses used on public lands.
