LPR is a non-profit 501(c)3 dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating horses, donkeys and farm animals
(29)
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.
Jansen (Tagg 1169) made it to his forever home last week! This Sorrel Quarter Gelding is 1 of the 6 equines you helped us rescue this month. We’re thrilled to share he’s getting the second chance he deserves.
With your support during San Diego Gives, we can help more horses like Jansen:

This is what a philanthropist looks like!
We recently gave a tour to this wonderful 9-year-old young lady named Talia. As a part of her leadership program, locally here at the Ecke YMCA, she organized a carnival at the Encinitas Community Park with proceeds benefitting Laughing Pony Rescue.
We’re happy to report, Talia’s event was so well done and successful! Here are some photos from her event. We are so appreciative of young leaders like her in our SD community that care so much about the animals LPR helps every single day! To contribute to her GoFundMe, please click here:

LPR followers, we’re working to help a sweet pony find a loving forever home! This 2 1/2 yr old gelding Type A (small) Welsh pony is gentle, leads, and picks up his hooves. He’s not broke to ride quite yet since he’s still too young, but he’s making great progress! Adopter must be able to provide good shelter, a good place to play, and ideally with a friend close to his size.

We’re delighted to share, the two mini horses you helped us save earlier this month are in good spirits. Here’s a clip of them playfully enjoying their new home! They were held in a feed lot for over a month - one is blind in one eye and the other has a crooked hoof. Now, they are happy together and getting much-needed care.

Remember Sophie? This lovely shire mare came to us with a lot of health issues and she had trouble walking. After 57 days on special antibiotics, herbs/vitamins, exercising, chiropractic care, massage therapy and acupressure, she is doing well (about 65% improvement since she arrived at LPR). Her rain rot is almost gone and she feels and acts much happier now. Thank you for helping to support Sophie’s recovery! We will keep you updated as her journey progresses.

LPR Followers we did it! Thanks to your support we raised enough funds to save 20 foals from a horrible fate. 12 babies are already happily enjoy their new lives at our partner rescue, and the remaining 8 are arriving soon. If this video is any indication, I’d say they’re all very grateful for your support and excited to see what their futures hold ☺️.

LPR followers we have just a few days left in our Year-End-Giving event. Are you able to support us one more time this year with a donation 🙏. Given the current state of the economy and the ongoing pressure of inflation, our costs are higher than ever (up 10% from last year) and our donation rates are unfortunately much lower than normal. However, these economic factors have not kept us from caring for even more animals at our San Diego sanctuary. This year alone we took on 7 additional permanent residents. This means that every single day we care for 12 horses, 3 ponies, 4 donkeys, 4 goats, and one sheep. These 24 animals require daily feeding, vitamins, medications, veterinary visits, grooming, dental treatments, and countless other types of care. We have also continued to rescue horses and farm animals across the country throughout this year. And of course, none of these efforts and lives saved would have been possible without an ongoing stream of donations. Laughing Pony Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)3, which means that a majority of the funds needed to care for these animals and keep our ranch running come from donors like you. While many of our four-legged residents had rough starts to life, it’s thanks to donations from generous supporters like you that they now spend each and every day happy, healthy, and loved. Will you consider supporting us before the year ends? Donations can be made here or at laughingponyrescue.org/donate. And remember, all donations are tax deductible. . . . 🐎🐎🐎laughingponyrescue.org🐎🐎🐎 . . . #horse #horsesofinstagram #horses #horsebackriding #horselove #horserescue #horserescues #rescuehorseofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuehorses #rescuehorsesofinstagram #donkeysofinstagram #donkey #donkeyrescue #rescuedonkey #ranchosantafeca #ranchosantafe #sandiego #sandiegononprofit #sandiegononprofits #sandiegohorses #volunteer #volunteering #donate #donatetoday #rescue #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #adopt #adop

Laughing Pony Rescue was established as a 501(c)3 in May of 2010. However, the inception of what came to be LPR’s mission began many years ago in the heart of a little girl being raised in New York City. Her name is Celia Sciacca and from as long as she can remember, horses were her saving grace. Celia got her first horse at ten years old, Hot Foot Honey. She used to ride her ba****ck through the streets of New York.
Celia’s first rescue was an Appaloosa stallion named Don, who was on his way to the feed lot to get fattened up and then sent to the slaughter-house for meat. Celia was among the first to go to Nevada to help rescue their wild Mustangs. Celia would take on what others would deem the "untrainable" horse. She often helped other rescues to train difficult horses so that they could be placed in good homes. She helped individual owners with similar problems as well.
Celia is the President of Laughing Pony Rescue, Inc., founded with the purpose of rescuing and rehabilitating sick, abandoned, abused and slaughter-bound horses of any breed. Each day she and her team of volunteers take care of up to 20 horses at the Laughing Pony Rescue Ranch. Celia has rescued or assisted in the rescue of more than 1200 horses. She nursed many of these rescues back to health healing their mind, body and spirit. Finally she created a detailed criteria that allowed her to pair rehabilitated horses with loving homes that were sure to live up to her standards.
