Integrity Farm Celebrates Success with Donations

Danny and Ron's Rescue Benefits from Wins

Izabelle Quadracci and Tipperary Hill won the Futures Prix at the World Equestrian Center.

OCONOMOWOC, WI – July 21, 2020 – Integrity Farm trainers Kathleen Caya and Natalie Hansen of Oconomowoc, Wis., along with their clients, have been giving to others during the current pandemic crisis. Over the past few months, Caya made numerous efforts to support local small businesses, encouraged random acts of kindness, and contributed to a relief fund for workers in the equine industry. It’s no surprise she’s still thinking of others as the horse shows open up again, this time Integrity Farm clients are in on the fun, celebrating their success by contributing to Danny and Ron’s Rescue for every blue ribbon collected.

Danny and Ron’s rescue is a shelter based in Wellington, Fla., and Camden, SC, that began in 2005 after

Hurricane Katrina. They are most recently known for their documentary, Life in the Doghouse, on Netflix. They consider themselves a safe haven for dogs that otherwise would still be strays or euthanized at other shelters due to the higher level of care they require on a daily basis because of health issues. Danny and Ron also help the community by offering supplies, pet food, and covering vet bills for the impoverished elderly. At Danny and Ron’s, they truly go above and beyond in caring for the dogs, making them a worthy cause for pet lovers.

Caya, like most trainers, is a dog owner and lover herself, which made Danny and Ron’s an easy choice when it came to charities. Caya is going to match her client's donations in memory of her beloved dog Cadie, who passed away in June.

Caya is matching the donations in honor of Cadie (left), who passed away in June, while she still has Dottie, famous for her outfits and unicorn toy.

“As horse people, we know now much work it can be to take care of animals, but our love for them makes it easy, and that’s why Danny and Ron’s made perfect sense. Celebrating our victories with our horses is extra special when you know you are contributing to a cause close to our hearts,” explained Caya.

Caya and her team spent two weeks at the World Equestrian Center in Wilmington, Ohio, for week one and two of the summer series and a week at Ledges Summertime. Their victories raised over $100 in donations for Danny and Ron’s, without Caya's match, and they plan to keep adding it up for the remainder of the show season. Next they head to the Illinois Hunter Jumper Association 'A' Finals at Lamplight Equestrian Center in Wayne, Illinois.
