Our Equestrian Community Shines Through This Firestorm
The team at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center extends our love and care to everyone affected by this ongoing firestorm. Our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones, homes, and businesses during this time.
We are profoundly grateful for the incredible efforts of our firefighters, local community, businesses, site staff, animal services, emergency management teams, and the Department of Recreation and Parks. Their dedication and collaboration ensured that the equestrian center remained operational and ready to receive hundreds of equine and large animal evacuees in their time of need.
The outpouring of support from volunteers, donors, the Rancho, and equestrian communities has been inspiring. Neighbors and friends joined forces to ensure the safety of horses, delivering hay, buckets, halters, and feed, and organizing donation drives to assist those in need.
This remarkable display of unity and compassion shows the strength and spirit of our community. We are honored to serve as a resource and safe haven during challenging times, staying true to the mission of the Los Angeles Equestrian Center.
To everyone who stepped up to help—whether through donations, hands-on support, or simply spreading the word—we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Together, we are stronger. We will continue to stand by one another and grow even more resilient as we navigate containment and recovery.
