Pony Rides For Jessica Rekos is an annual event was first held in early 2013 to celebrate the life of Jessica Rekos, one of the students killed on 12/14. It is run completely by volunteers and relies on donations. All proceeds from the event go directly to The Jessica Rekos Foundation, which was formed in an effort to continue Jessica's love of horses, to continue her whale research, and to enable people to remember her through her love of horses and whales.

The money raised from Pony Rides For Jessica is earmarked for the foundation's annual two-week horseback riding camp, which takes place at King's Bridge Farm in Newtown, as well as for scholarships for horseback riding lessons for deserving children.
