Shelter and Vet 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 kcadams@xxxxxxxx , 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 facilities and services 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.
We urge the participation of anyone who has the space, licensed veterinary
expertise and tenderness of heart to help these equine refugees.
