Help for Horses

Sunshine anyone? The past several weeks have brought us record amounts of snow followed by record amounts of rain on top of the snow to bring on major and minor flooding throughout the Northwest region. It has seemed at times as if we might never see the sunshine again, but thankfully it has decided to make an appearance this week and help us all dry out.

For those horse owners who may have suffered damage to their barns and fields and need a place to keep their horses safe until repairs can be made,  there is help at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA, where currently more than 100 horses are seeking refuge.  For more information on this, visit http://www.komonews.com/news/local/37488089.html

Second Chance Ranch and Horse Reunions.com are sponsoring a  food drive to help owners of displaced horses feed them.  For more information on how you can help, visit http://flakesale.com.

Do you know of any other locations people can go for assistance with displaced horses?  Please comment here or email me directly at Karyn@nwhorsesource.com. We’d love to share information with all of our readers on how we can help one another.

In the meantime, I hope you’re high and drying out. Now get out and ride!
