Safe Havens and Veterinary Services Needed for Hurricane
Katrina's Equine Refugees
Place Your Facility on the USEF Hurricane Equine Relief List
(Lexington, KY) - As Americans view the newscasts of the
devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina it is clear that both humans
and animals require immediate emergency relief from not only official
agencies but from the generosity of individuals.
If you have a facility or pasture which you can offer to house refugee
horses and ponies, victims of Hurricane Katrina, please email your
name, address, phone number and email address to [email protected] , or
at 859-225-6993, (please email if at all possible as we expect a heavy
load of calls.)
If you can volunteer veterinary services please submit your contact
information. The USEF is posting a listing by state of these safe
havens for horses and ponies on our website. The list will be
accessed by going to www.usef.org, on the right side of the homepage
click on Hurricane Katrina Equine Relief. It is expected to be
operational by tonight, August 31st and will serve as a master list to
help horse owners in Katrina's path find help. Other equine
organizations wishing to assist the effort and link to the list should
also email [email protected].
We urge the participation of anyone who has the space, veterinary
expertise and tenderness of heart to help these equine refugees.
