About Lassos with Love

Connected Horse’s  annual fundraising event, Lassos with Love, is an inspiring, fun-filled event supporting the Connected Horse mission of providing no-cost equine-guided workshops and programs for people living with dementia and their families. It is an amazing opportunity to dust off your boots, meet our horses, enjoy delicious food, and bid on some fabulous gifts and adventures—all while supporting an important cause. Ticket sales directly support our mission of providing no-cost workshops and programming for those impacted by dementia.

We hope you can join us in 2025!  The 2025 event date will be announced soon!

2024 Lassos with Love
Event Highlights

Our 2nd Annual Lassos with Love fundraiser was a resounding success! With a sold-out crowd of 220 attendees, guests enjoyed the beauty of Five Star Equestrian — with the serene backdrop of nickering horses, beautiful rolling hills, and dramatic sunset —along with the energy and excitement of our silent, live, and online auctions. It was a special evening filled with connections, old and new. Guests were treated to a remarkable performance by Kansas Carradine, her daughter, and Dude from Cavalia, as well as inspiring stories from our honorary Chair Tammy Maida, Charlotte Driver, and Claudia Sonder, DVM. This year, we were thrilled to introduce additional events, including a Friday night lecture about the Gaucho Derby and a Saturday clinic with Kansas Carradine.

None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our 50+ incredible volunteers, generous community donations, and support from our sponsors. Thanks to this generosity, we raised over $100,000, allowing us to continue offering no-cost equine-assisted workshops and sensory engagement kits for those impacted by dementia. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable night possible! Keep an eye out for our 2025 dates.
