Lil' R&R is a privately-funded sanctuary dedicated to providing a safe haven and a new beginning for horses and other farm animals. Located in Flemington, NJ, this incredible rescue has, at times, provided a loving home for as many as 25 horses simultaneously, alongside a lively community of longhorn cows, goats, and chickens. Each animal at Lil' R&R arrives with its own unique story, often having faced neglect, abandonment, or difficult circumstances. Here, they find expert care, proper nutrition, and the peace they deserve.
The Big Horse Band isn't just playing for applause; we're playing for purpose. We are incredibly proud to announce that a full share of the pay and tips from EVERY Big Horse Band show is directly allocated to supporting the vital operations of Lil' R&R Farm and Horse Rescue.
Animal rescue is a labor of love, but it also comes with significant costs. Currently, Lil' R&R provides a loving home to 12 horses, each requiring specialized care. The sheer cost of providing for these magnificent animals is substantial: grain and hay alone amount to approximately $600 per week. This doesn't even include veterinary care, farrier services, bedding, or facility maintenance.
When you book The Big Horse Band, attend one of our shows, or drop a tip in the jar, you’re not just enjoying great music – you’re becoming an essential part of this life-changing mission. You are directly contributing to the weekly feed, the critical medical treatments, and the everyday care that allows these animals to thrive. That's what we mean when we say "JOIN THE HERD."
Thank you for supporting The Big Horse Band and, by extension, the incredible work done every day at Lil' R&R Farm and Horse Rescue. Together, we’re making music and making a difference, one show and one rescue at a time.
