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 Family - We recently gave a tour to a wonderful 9-year-old young lady, who is participating in a leadership program locally at the Ecke YMCA. As part of her program, she’s organized a carnival at the Encinitas Community Park this Friday 8/9 - with proceeds benefitting Laughing Pony Rescue. She’s a young rider, loves horses and animals and would like to support rescues.

We are so grateful for this young lady and impressed with how she is choosing to put her leadership skills to work with such a big heart.

With the action of young leaders like Talia and the support of our community, we can continue to rescue and provide for these unwanted animals, giving them the critical care they need for their ongoing health issues and a life beyond the neglect they have suffered.

The event is open to all! Please check out her flyer for details. To donate, click here:

LPR followers we’re working hard to raise funds and save these 3 beauties from the feedlot. Can you contribute to help us place them in forever homes?!

All 3 are quarter horse mares and in desperate need of the proper care and attention to help them live happy and fulfilled lives.

We have homes lined up ready to take them - we just need the funds to get them out. Donations can be made at laughingponyrescue.org/donate.

Our Story

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.
