Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue has been a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a permanent home for rescued and retired horses. Through equine-assisted interactions, clients and community members find healing, peace and hope with our herd. Our programming supports those navigating their mental health & wellbeing in a calm setting with kindness and empathy.
“People Helping Horses Heal People” is the mission that guides everything we do.
At Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue, healing is a partnership — between horse and human.
We are raising funds during this one-month Horse for Mental Health campaign to sustain and protect the rescued horses who make our mental health programs possible. Many of the individuals we serve — veterans, first responders, at-risk youth, women overcoming trauma, and community members facing anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional dysregulation — have not found relief in traditional models alone. Horses offer something different. They offer presence. Honesty. Regulation. Connection without judgment.
accessible to those who need it most.
When you give, you are doing two things at once:
You are protecting a horse.
And you are creating access to mental health support for someone who needs it.
People helping horses.
Horses helping people heal.
This is the circle of healing you are investing in.
