Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue provides Sanctuary to abused and neglected horses in Dutchess County. We are home to 50 horses, and offer equine welfare education and horsemanship programs. We are accredited by the Global Federation of Accredited Sanctuaries, and the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. Our riding and horsemanship instructors are certified through the Certified Horsemanship Association. In addition, Lucky Orphans is home to EquiNorth, an Equine Assisted Therapy Program.
We are raising fund to construct a modest covered arena. Currently, if it is rainy, or windy we have to cancel our programs and therapy sessions. To children afflicted by trauma, or on the spectrum, consistency is very important and when we have to cancel it sets our clients back on their treatment goals. We need your help to complete this energy efficient facility for our education and therapy programs.
Any donations above what is needed to construct the arena will go directly to the care of the 50 horses on the farm.
We're so close!

Thank you everyone who has donated already! We are so very close to being fully funded! We only need $13,000 to complete the indoor arena. Please help us finish the building before the weather gets really cold so we can continue our programs through the winter.
Almost there!!

THANK YOU!! Because of your support we have less than $20,000 to raise to complete this project. If everyone pitches in, this project will see completion by August. There are only a few more days left. Help us meet our goal so this project can be completed and all programs can continue throughout the winter. Lucky Orphans is so grateful to you all for getting us this far. Please share our page and help us in the last push for the therapy arena.
