In the summer of 2018, the Rescue was awarded a $7500 grant from the ASPCA as part of its nationwide “Help a Horse Day” campaign. More than 100 equine rescue groups across the nation entered the contest, holding events that raised awareness about the plight of American horses. During the two-month campaign, we had a public event at the farm, placed 14 horses into permanent homes, raised over $37,000, and recruited six new volunteers, coming in 2nd place in our division.
The grant was awarded for much-needed wellness therapies and training the horses need to ensure that they’re in good shape and ready to be adopted.
We submitted this short video as part of our entry.
