“The Help a Horse Day event is a wonderful opportunity for you, your family and friends to come visit the farm, and learn about how horses are a part of our area. I invite you to meet our herd of 50 horses. We have miniatures, drafts and retired racehorses, each with a story that helped them find their way here. I am continually impressed by what these animals can teach us about forgiveness and resiliency. Come learn why horses are so impactful in helping people develop emotional strength and how these rescued horses help people every day " says Deanna Mancuso, Executive Director of Lucky Orphans.
History of National Help a Horse Day
In 2013, the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) launched an equine campaign in the form of Help a Horse Day to create awareness and promote the protection of neglected and abused horses across the country.
National Help a Horse Day has more than one purpose. This day also serves as a national day of acknowledgment for equine organizations to highlight the work they do to save at-risk horses. Moreover, it even showcases how people can join them to make a difference in the equine community.
