After the Floods: Helping Horses and Horse Owners in the Northwest

This Monday, we're interrupting our regularly scheduled reader photo of the week to bring you some important news.

Many horses in the Pacific Northwest are short on food after the flooding earlier this spring. Many grassroots efforts have emerged to help horses and horse owners get back on their feet and keep all of these horses happy, healthy and fed. NWHS would like to point out the incredible organization of the efforts going on at www.flakesale.com. Visit their website for a broad variety of information, including a printable flyer you can post to help spread the word, post-flood cleanup tips, and video updates on the situation.

Each $5 donation goes to feed a single horse for a full day. If you're able to help, please do. If you're in need of help, visit www.flakesale.com to apply for aid. Their efforts are focused on Washington State, but we realize there are many Oregon horse owners who need help just as much.  If you know of an aid organization anywhere within the Pacific Northwest that is helping horses and horse owners in times of need, please let us know so we can spread the word!
