Derby Day is just 3 days away. It is a Charity Event benefiting the shelter where I found Ollie. They do wonderful work there finding the best candidates to forever home out of the LA Shelters, plus drop offs to their shelter. All funds received go to the Best Friends No-Kill West Los Angeles Animal Adoption Center. We post our donation receipt online for you to see.

Donations are accepted thru Eventbrite if you want to use a credit card. All funds received will go to the BEST Friends No-Kill West Los Angeles Animal Adoption Center.

LAPACC English Day!

The last half of 2024 flew by.

We had a soft opening of Equus International Pony Play Weekend the beginning of July to see how the event would play out in the new Pony Track and Play Arena. It was brilliant and we plan on a repeat October 10 to October 14 in 2025.

August was unbearably hot and we cancelled Western Day.

Puppy Palooza was out of this world wonderful. We had so many contestants! Yay! It was awesome to watch all the pups, cats, critters play and express themselves and have fun.

The Fox Hunt was cancelled because the Forest Ranger Service is repairing the roads and cancelled our reservation for Rose Valley Campground.

We reformatted English Day into The Queen’s Cup Day and had held the three remaining events all on one day. Huzzah! And we threw in an Advanced Agility Course for the Pups and Critters. Everyone had a grand time.

Our Holiday Party was beautiful in Zebra pattern of black and silver. Kev Pony was gifted a Leather Vest for his Outstanding Service to the Club this year. Goddess V, Oscar, and Lexi received Leather Overnight duffle Bags for their Outstanding Service to the Club this year.

It was a fine year to build on. We look forward to 2025!
