Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: The specific purposes for which this corporation is organized are to rescue and rehabilitate all breeds of neglected or abused horses; to restore and train these horses so they can be matched to a loving and forever home; to teach and disseminate educational materials to the public including, but not limited to, materials relating to the care and plight of horses; and the use of horses for therapeutic purposes, therapeutic being defined as helping people with limited physical or mental disabilities that will help them to improve their current state or provide an enjoyable respite from their current condition. It is also our mission to provide a forever home for certain rescued horses that may have difficulty being placed elsewhere.

Programs: Since 2010, Laughing Pony Rescue (LPR) has saved over 1,200 horses, donkeys and farm animals from abuse, neglect and slaughter. Rescued horses in our therapy program have helped numerous individuals struggling from a variety of illnesses. Our educational programs continue to bring awareness of animal abuse and protective programs to communities throughout San Diego County, California.
