Hay for Horses

The National Horse Protection League (NHPL) is launching a special “Hay for Horses” fundraising drive throughout the month of July to help struggling horse rescue centers. Every dollar you contribute to this campaign will go directly to horse rescue facilities.*

There is a crisis affecting the welfare of horses in this country.  Humans aren’t the only ones suffering as a result of the tragic flooding in the Midwest and the rising cost of gasoline. The cost of feed for horses is now soaring, making it increasingly difficult for many horse owners to care for their horses.

Skyrocketing costs are especially burdensome for horse rescue facilities that care for abandoned horses. These rescues are under incredible pressure to provide care for many horses, with more people giving up their horses because of today’s tough economic circumstances, and have very limited financial support.

Join us in helping resource-strained rescues. Every penny you give helps these rescues care for horses that have been abused, abandoned, or saved from slaughter. Click here to help horses!

* The funds collected will be distributed through Blue Horse Charities, an organization which helps fund rescue services and adoption for thoroughbreds at the end of their racing or breeding careers
