Help the equestrian community impacted by the LA Wild Fires with EQ Living

As the Greater Los Angeles community begins to recover from the devastating wildfires that recently swept through the area, we at Equestrian Living are committed to supporting efforts to help horses and animals in need. Hundreds of horses from farms across the region were forced to evacuate their properties and seek refuge in safe shelters. Compounding the crisis, numerous animal shelters in the area have been rendered unusable, leaving countless rescued animals without a safe haven or a place to call home.

To support so many in need, Equestrian Living has compiled a list of trusted organizations actively working to provide relief and resources to animals and their owners affected by the fires. By donating to these organizations, you can make a meaningful difference in ensuring these animals receive the care and support they urgently need. Together, we can help rebuild and restore hope for these beloved animals and their communities.
