More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Due to severe drought conditions across the United States, an alarming increase in horse neglect is occurring due to a shortage of affordable hay for horse owners. This project is geographically designated for North Carolina, Virginia and Indiana as these are the states of operation for the horse programs. This will enable USERL to expand the number of horses allowed in the program needing shelter from malnutrition and starvation.

Activities

By expanding our horse program funding, USERL can take in a larger number of neglected horses needing immediate shelter and care for survival. The program covers all veterinary costs, hay and feed, as well as farrier expenses until adoption.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $31,120
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $36,680
Total Funding Goal: $67,800

Additional Documentation

This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

This project will allow more horses to be sheltered during this time of increased need due to drought/hay shortage, thereby helping to alleviate county officials concerns of where horses will go when faced with an increase in horse neglect cases.

Project Message

They (USERL) have been enormously successful and have raised the consciousness of the public about issues surrounding horses, for too long the forgotten victims of abuse and neglect.
- Joan M. Cunningham, North Carolina Assistant Attorney General

Latest Update from the Field

February 2010 Update!

By Jennifer Malpass - Board Chair, March 09, 2010 04:23 PM

Ferrari upon arrival to a USERL quarantine farm.Legacy just several months after arriving to USERLDuramax was found emaciated and tied to a truck.
2010 continues, thus far, to be a challenge for horse owners. Three additional horses have come into the program under this expansion project: Ferrari, Legacy and Duramax. All three came from horrific cruelty cases and needed immediate care for survival. Thanks to supporters like you, USERL was able to shelter them and provide critical care. Today, they are all much improved in health and expected to make a full recovery.
To date, 17 horses have been assisted by this project with a total of $31,010 being raised to assist them! Please visit our Facebook page (link below) to watch a special video – one that was created in celebration of USERL’s 10 year anniversary. The story in this video (“The Starfish Story”) exemplifies USERL’s motto – “Make a Difference”. Your support has made a difference to these 17 horses that needed immediate placement for nutritional and medical care. You are making a difference!
