Our Mission
Brent and Eileen DePonte are passionate champions for the wellbeing of animals and children. For many years, they have contributed to animal rescue, rehabilitation and adoption organizations throughout New Mexico, as well as to school and family support programs in the Albuquerque area. In 2020, they established the DePonte Family Foundation (DPFF) in order to increase the efficacy of their efforts. In pursuit of that vision, the foundation provides grants to organizations working to improve the lives of domestic and wild animals, and to those working to enrich the lives of children and families.

Connie's belief is that by training rescue or unwanted horses, they have a purpose and home forever.
