Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The overall objective of Laughing Pony Rescue is to save as many abused, neglected and mistreated horses, donkeys and farm animals as possible each year depending upon its financial wherewithal. With its network of volunteers monitoring feedlots , auction houses and private individuals, LPR hopes to locate, rescue and begin the process for the long-term care of these animals. Additionally, its goal is to provide equine therapy for individuals struggling with all types of personal issues, including PTSD, depression, trauma and abuse. The interaction with the rescued equines on the property in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, will help individuals build confidence, reduce anxiety and start their personal healing process. Finally, through various educational programs, LPR will continue to create community awareness about neglected, mistreated, slaughter-bound horses, donkeys and farm animals.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Laughing Pony Rescue is based upon a three-pillar strategy: Healing, Education and Rescue. Each pillar is as important as the other and combined they make the overall strategy for growth. Each pillar has a designated "champion" to support its efforts. This "champion" is responsible for the operational development of each area. They are supported by a management team of successful business people.

Specifically, LPR will continue to develop and expand its healing "touch" therapy to "riding" therapy with a group of certified trainers. This will allow LPR to expand its reach in Therapy Rehabilitation for many personal issues, including PTSD, depression, trauma and abuse. It's educational outreach program will continue to expand from local schools and organizations to a broader state-wide approach. As importantly, its rescue program will continue to expand to cover all the Western United States. Establishing an outreach network of volunteers to monitor feedlots, auction houses and private individuals looking for abused, neglected mistreated horses, donkeys and farm animals.

To support these strategies, LPR will continue to look for grant opportunities, sponsorships and local donations, engage supportive volunteers and provide management educational support to the organization to help maximize all available resources.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

"PASSION" is the cement that binds the organization together. There is not one volunteer or staff member that can look at an abused, neglected, or mistreated horse, donkey or farm animal in the eye and then turn its back on them. Unfortunately, "passion" alone does not create a good business model. To that end, LPR has surrounded itself with successful business people to help develop business strategies and implement business tactics to accomplish their mission.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Since 2010, Laughing Pony Rescue (LPR) has saved over 1,375 horses, donkeys and farm animals from abuse , neglect and slaughter. Rescued horses in its therapy program have helped numerous individuals struggling from a variety of illnesses, including PTSD, depression, trauma and abuse. Through various educational programs, LPR has created significant community awareness about neglected, mistreated and slaughter-bound horses, donkeys and farm animals.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
