In recent times, the equestrian community has faced its fair share of equine losses. Like the shocking death of twelve horses in Churchill Downs, the location of the Kentucky Derby. Amidst these challenges, it is heartening to know that sanctuaries like Bella Run Equine provide a beacon of hope. Nestled in Southeast Ohio, this non-profit facility serves as a haven for animals in need, offering healing and recovery.

Founded in 2008 by Zack and Rachel, who passionately rescue horses from auctions, BELLA RUN EQUINE has become a symbol of compassion. Just recently, an extraordinary event unfolded, where 81 Horse and Rider Pairs came together to support this Animal Protection Organization’s vital cause. How did this remarkable gathering of equine enthusiasts make a difference?

Equestrian trail ride benefit raises funds for Bella Run Equine

“Our Trail Riding Benefit in New York yesterday raised over $4,143 for the rescue,” shared Bella Run Equine in a recent Facebook post. Participants embarked on a guided trail ride throughout the scenic areas of Kissing Bridge. The organization expressed its delight, stating, “What an amazing gift.” Even non-horse owners had the opportunity to partake in the event, enjoying dinner and live music. The dedicated volunteers in New York received heartfelt appreciation from Bella Run Equine, with a special mention on Facebook: “To our incredible volunteer family in New York who, from start to finish, put this event on, Thank You.”

The organization also extended gratitude to Kissing Bridge for generously hosting the event. All the proceeds from the trail ride went directly to Bella Run Equine. It’s for supporting their mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding new homes for slaughter-bound horses. As well as aiding in the rehabilitation and re-homing of dogs. The event featured a 2-hour trail ride for two groups, followed by a delightful cowboy dinner and an enthralling performance by the Black Widow band on the deck. The organization?s approach involved bringing horses home, training them, and finding them new homes.
