HOW TO HELP THE ARABIANS
Individuals
interested in one of these horses can visit www.denkaisanctuary.org (http://www.denkaisanctuary.org/arabians.html)
for a photo and profile of each horse. Photographs courtesy of Ray
Reichley. If interested, contact Denkai at: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or call (970)
895-2337. Individuals are encouraged to attend and bid on these
horses in an attempt to get them to safety.
Denkai is
exploring the option to purchase the horses back, thus giving the
Sanctuary brand inspection, i.e. ownership and the ability to adopt these
horses in to pre-screened homes.
This can
happen with contributions totaling $7,000 to purchase them at auction,
average cost in this area runs .44 per lb. and a total of $22,000 that
would cover costs for the next twelve months to house, train, and adopt
these eighteen horses into permanent homes. Denkai can not simply
just purchase these horses back without having the funding in place to
care for them. If the Sanctuary can raise a total of $29,000
byApril 15, 2009, this is a viable option.
Contributions
toward these horses can be made to: Denkai Animal Sanctuary
