Tamaya Horseshoes & Heels Gala to help abused and unwanted horses

The Tamaya Horse Rehabilitation Program announced the 2023 Tamaya Horseshoes & Heels Gala is set for next month.

The horse rehab program, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located at the Stables at Tamaya on the Santa Ana Pueblo, will host the gala Nov. 25. The charity event will bring awareness to the plight of unwanted horses in New Mexico and raise funds for its ongoing efforts to rescue and rehabilitate animals in need.

Founded more than 10 years ago at Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa’s Stables at Tamaya, the Tamaya House Rehabilitation Program has helped and rescued more than 200 horses. Thousands of horses are abandoned annually in New Mexico and several factors can lead to unwanted, abandoned or surrendered horses including a horse’s decline in health or behavioral problems, and the owner’s financial or physical hardships.

The money raised during the gala will be used for veterinary care, training, shelter, and feed for the animals.

Hosted at Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa, the Tamaya Horseshoes & Heels Gala begins with a cocktail reception for socializing and a silent auction to bid on select items ranging from hotel stays to artwork to jewelry. Guest will also have the opportunity to be photographed with some of the rescued horses visiting the gala. The resort’s culinary team will serve a three-course meal , which will be followed by a live auction, music and dancing, and a live performance from the Austin Van Music band.

Tickets for the Tamaya Horseshoes & Heels Gala range in price between $125 per person and up to $900 for a table of eight. To purchase tickets, click here.
