The Animal Rescue League of Iowa's premier horse event!
Join us at our new Second Chance Ranch location for the ARL's biggest horse event of the year! Celebrate adoptable barn pets, hear their stories, and take a peek inside the ARL's barn programs.
What to Expect:
Attendees can enjoy a cocktail hour in the barn while they mingle among some of our rescue barn animals and enjoying event activities such as a S'mores bar, fun photo opportunities, bidding on silent auction items, and so much more! PLUS - the ARL Animal House store will have Second Chance Ranch merchandise for sale as well as new and gently used tack items, so don't forget to stop by and see what supplies you may need for your own pets.
Top 5 reasons to lasso your tickets today:
1. NEW LOCATION. Our Second Chance Ranch has moved. Check out the new barn and our renovations to the ranch which are part of our Transforming the Future of Animal Rescue capital campaign and learn how they're helping us serve the community in even more ways!
2. LIVE MUSIC. The Juan & Only is back again to provide guests live music while mingling with adoptable horses and other barn pets!
3. SECOND CHANCE RANCH TACK SHOP. We will have new and gently used tack items for sale, in addition to other merchandise from our Animal House store like our Second Chance Ranch mugs and apparel, and toys/treats for your pets. Also check out our custom engraved bridle plates which are ready to take home at the event!
4. UNIQUE ITEMS. Bid on a variety of exciting silent auction items or enter to win one of our great raffle baskets! Silent auction bidding will be through an app, so remember to come with a fully charged phone!
5. CHANGING LIVES. Every ticket purchased helps provide life-changing care and support to the barn pets who come through our doors each year.
