Event

Help a Horse Day

Laughing Pony Rescue will be taking part in the national celebration of ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Help A Horse Day on April 26 and competing for a chance to win up to $10,000 in grant prizes to assist with their efforts to protect horses. To celebrate the day, Laughing Pony Rescue will open our ranch to families and friends. Pony rides will be offered along with horse related crafts and games. You can learn about our rescue horses and what you can do to help us with our efforts.

This nationwide competition is for equine rescues and sanctuaries to raise awareness about the lifesaving work they do year-round to care for at-risk horses in their community who have often been abused or neglected. Horses have been central to the ASPCA's work since its founding 149 years ago, when Henry Bergh stopped a cart driver from beating his horse, resulting in the first successful arrest for the mistreatment of a horse on April 26, 1866.

While there is no charge to attend this event, donations would be greatly appreciated. Its costs us about $5000 per month to take care of our horses. We have no paid employees and every cent that comes in is used to care for the ponies. We raise money thru individual donations, grants, sessions, birthday parties....anything to bring in a buck!
