We believe that behind every successful rescue is a story waiting to be told. Your pictures and videos capture these transformative moments, showcasing the resilience of the animals we’ve had the privilege to help.

Together, we’ve built a community that stands united in its commitment to creating a better world for horses and ponies.
Preserving History for Future Generations: As we celebrate our 50th year, it’s crucial to preserve the rich history of HAPPA for future generations.
