from the Unwanted Horse Coalition

Washington, DC — The Unwanted Horse Coalition has launched an additional resources page on their website.

This new page, entitled Additional Resources, gives horse owners and horse care facilities a bank of informative websites they can utilize in many different situations when dealing with unwanted horses or poor financial situations.

The new resources page will help aid in the UHC’s mission in educating horse owners on owning responsibly. Sections with links to useful programs such as haybanks and feedbanks, vaccination, gelding and euthanasia clinics are included, as well as sites on equine welfare grants. These links will provide valuable information, which will prove beneficial to horse owners and horse care facilities and in turn, will help many horses in need. The new page can be found under the already existing resources section, under Additional Resources at the UHC website: www.unwantedhorsecoalition.org.

“With many horse owners and horse care facilities in difficult financial situations, the UHC found creating an additional resources page with links to important programs, clinics, and grant sites to be a top priority,” said Ericka Caslin, director of the UHC. “The UHC receives many daily calls and e-mails with questions about programs, grants, vaccinations clinics, and haybanks. We felt that compiling a list of sites and links with important information for people to use and pass along would be extremely advantageous.”

Additional Resources will be updated regularly with new sites as options become available. If you have a site you feel would be a significant addition to the new section, please e-mail it to Ericka Caslin, UHC Director, at ecaslin@horsecouncil.org.
