Dychton points out that Lollypop’s CARE program is modeled on those used at other shelters. And they plan to center most of their efforts during Adopt a Horse Month around this innovative concept. Dychton and her team have created a program they call CARE, which stands for Compassionate Aid for Retired Equines. While the horses are available for adoption, she says, not all of them are suitable for riding, either because of age, or past injuries or arthritic conditions. “We’re kind of trying to help get rid of the stigma that a horse at a shelter or a rescue has issues or is not a good candidate for adoption.” One year it was ‘be a hero for a horse,’ which was really cool.” She says they are working toward helping people see these horses differently. “When we’ve embraced the Help a Horse day we’ve done a number of events. Joanna Dychton, Lollypop’s Farm Director says they’ve created special programs in the past with Help a Horse day as the centerpiece. Our footprint for equine events is much larger.”

“We get people from Syracuse and Buffalo for our fund-raising trail rides. “Our equine community expands past Rochester,” she says. She says they are promoting Adopt a Horse Month through social media and their network of supporters and friends. Adopt a Horse Month is important because it’s a chance to rally the community, to make sure the horses stay in the spotlight.” Zeh is Director of Communications for Lollypop Farm, which is located in Fairport, NY. “We have so many different types of animals here,” Ashley Zeh says. Creative Solutions Supporting the Promotion Lollypop Farm, Humane Society of Greater Rochester (NY) is one of them. More than 170 organizations across the country have registered to participate in Adopt a Horse Month, according to Alexandra Garza, ASPCA’s Manager of Media and Communications. This innovative month-long promotion aimed at supporting the efforts of animal welfare organizations throughout the country offers them critical tools, such as: access to ASPCA’s national platform to showcase adoptable horses and galvanize community support and the My Right Horse adoption website access to industry experts opportunities to collaborate with equine groups near and far. And now a new facet of the program seeks to amplify this success. Last year Right Horse Initiative partners found new homes for 3,500 horses.

ASPCA’s Right Horse Initiative is coordinating the nationwide promotion, which launched formally on April 26, a date designated as Help a Horse Day.īefore there was The Right Horse Initiative, there was a commitment from the Arnall Foundation’s WaterShed Animal Fund to “create solutions that provide a new purpose for at-risk horses.” ASPCA was among the stakeholders participating in the Arnall Foundation’s 2016 pilot program in Oklahoma City, and soon afterward announced their intention to “massively increase horse adoption in the United States.” In 2019 The Right Horse Initiative became an official program under the ASPCA’s nationwide umbrella.

The organization’s first-ever Adopt a Horse Month will leverage the full weight of the nation’s first humane society against the stigma and the misconceptions about equine adoption. The ASPCA is promising to make a lot of noise throughout May, all on behalf of adoptable horses living in foster care, on rescue farms and in shelters.
