Strength. Spirit. Sleipnir.
Founded in 2004, Sleipnir Stables is a sanctuary for horses and their people, located just outside Peterson Air Force Base. From the beginning, our goal has been simple yet powerful: to provide a safe, peaceful, and respectful environment where horses can thrive and their humans can feel at home.
We draw our name and inspiration from Sleipnir, the legendary eight-legged steed of Odin, chief god of Norse mythology. Sleipnir was no ordinary horse—he was a creature of unmatched strength, wisdom, and spirit. Said to be faster than any being in the Nine Realms, Sleipnir could travel between worlds, carrying Odin across the sky, through the land of the living, and even into the realm of the dead.
His eight legs symbolized balance, power, and transcendence. His nature reflected loyalty, intelligence, and divine connection. To us, Sleipnir embodies the ideal relationship between horse and rider—a bond built on mutual trust, purpose, and courage.
At Sleipnir Stables, we carry that same spirit into everything we do. Each pasture, gate, and halter reflects our belief that horses are not just boarded animals—they are companions, teachers, and soul-deep partners.
Why Sleipnir?
In Norse mythology, Sleipnir was born of both strength and mystery, a mythical creature gifted to Odin by Loki. He could cross between worlds—effortlessly moving from Asgard to Midgard to Helheim. That freedom, that connection between realms, is at the core of our philosophy.
We believe horses also move between worlds: the physical and the emotional, the practical and the sacred. They meet us where we are, challenge us, and carry us into new versions of ourselves.
Choosing the name “Sleipnir” wasn’t just about sounding strong—it was a deliberate act of homage. It reminds us to walk in reverence, to care deeply, and to never forget the ancient power horses still carry in their hearts and hooves.
