Support local horse sanctuary at upcoming block party

Fundraiser is Redwings’ primary event of the year

– Redwings Horse Sanctuary will host its 4th annual Block Party Fundraising Event on Sunday, Sept. 29, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 6875 Union Road in Paso Robles. The event celebrates Redwings’ 33rd anniversary and supports its mission of rescuing abused, abandoned, and neglected equines. Currently, the sanctuary cares for 84 equines. In 2024, Redwings rescued 14 equines and found adoptive homes for 11, with two adoptions pending.

The fundraiser, Redwings’ primary event of the year, will raise funds for feeding and medical care for the horses while increasing awareness of the sanctuary’s mission. The event will feature lunch from Old SLO BBQ Co., live music from Unfinished Business, a glass of wine, beer, or soda, as well as Paradise Shaved Ice and photos from Shoot’n’ Booth Photo Booth. Attendees can meet the horses in the barn and watch a farrier demonstration. Silent and live auctions will also take place, with VIP tables for eight available for purchase.

Redwings offers guided tours to the public by appointment, volunteer training opportunities, and welcomes school and service groups. The sanctuary will participate in the Great AGventure at the Mid-State Fairgrounds in October, an agricultural field trip for North County fourth graders.

Tickets for the Sept. 29 fundraiser are available at www.redwingshorsesanctuary.org or My805Tix.com, with a ticket cutoff date of Sept. 22.
