Did You Know?

Dutchess County has the largest horse population in New York State, with more than 10,000 horses. At Lucky Orphans, the daily care cost per resident is $40, which covers all necessary care. Please consider sponsoring one of our “orphan horses” today. Your gift is essential to ensuring the well‑being of every horse on the farm.

We are proud to be accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS). Take a few minutes to get to know some of our special Lucky Orphans. We house a variety of breeds, from miniature horses to warmbloods; there is sure to be a horse that will leave a lasting impression on your heart.

Our Thoroughbreds

Lucky Orphans is honored to be accredited by The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance.

We proudly offer Thoroughbreds retirement as their careers shift from racehorses to therapy horses.

Lucky Orphans is committed to the best quality care and treatment for each of our lifetime residents and does not buy horses, does not support any auction or kill pen, and does not accept horses from owners needing to rehome their horses.
