Re: [RC] Katrina Evac Sites and info - Kelsey Corey
Just wanted to add a couple more-
Make sure the halter is BREAKAWAY (has leather or other material that can
break if your horse gets caught), and use duct tape and permanent maker
to put your contact info on halter.
you may want to shave your phone number into your horses coat-
Wow- what an awesome group of people!!! I wish I could offer my place for
people to stay, but I'm at the opposite end of the US... Washington
State...
Stay Safe!!!

Please check with a close fairgound area further in. Also be sure to have
your horses tagged either on a halter, a neck rope, or perhaps spraypainting on
the horse with orange paint of a phone number where you can be reached if you
must leave the horse. Also be sure to put feed in a tight container
that will be waterproof. Perhaps a cooler, garbage can. Be sure to have a
good 7 day supply of water for horses as well. Do not leave horses in a barn
if you expect high floodwaters. If you must leave your horses behind,
contact the Emergency crews and notify them of how many horses you have left
behind and discriptions. Also take any papers, photos and keep them safe if
you need to identify your horse if the horse is relocated or escaped. So you
will have proof. God Bless.
