PonyUp4Kids Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Poughquag, New York, serving Dutchess County and surrounding regions of New York State. Our mission is to transform lives through the powerful connection between humans and horses while promoting animal welfare, education, and community well-being.
We provide essential services and life-enriching opportunities for children, teens, adults, families, veterans, survivors of abuse, violence, and trauma, individuals in recovery, and people with autism and other developmental disabilities. Through inclusive, community-based programs, PonyUp4Kids fosters confidence, responsibility, independence, and meaningful personal growth.

At PonyUp4Kids Foundation, every rescued horse becomes more than an animal - they become a healer. Through sponsor support, children, teens, adults, survivors of trauma, veterans, and individuals with special needs discover resilience, confidence, and strength through connection with horses.
Your business sponsorship keeps the barn doors open while giving your brand smart, purpose-driven visibility, tax-deductible benefits, and real community impact. From digital recognition to engaging volunteer opportunities, your partnership builds loyalty, boosts morale, and fuels transformation — one hoofbeat at a time.

When a horse is trapped or in danger, trained rescuers step in to give them a second chance - but they can’t do it without the right equipment. PonyUp4Kids Foundation Inc. supports the Equine Technical Rescue teams who answer those urgent calls, helping horses out of culverts, trailers, ditches, and other life‑threatening situations.
Your generosity helps put lifesaving tools - like the Becker Horse Sling - into the hands of the responders who protect the animals we love. Every gift strengthens the team that will be there when a horse’s life hangs in the balance.
