Nominate a Horse Rescue

The profit from this clinic will be going to a minimum of two horse rescues. The first rescue I have already selected, and that is the Frog Pond Farm Draft Horse Rescue located in Cambridge, OH. They will receive 50% of the profit that is going to be donated!

Now for the other 50%, and the second rescue. You will get to decide what rescue gets the second half of the donation money! If you have a favorite rescue, you must nominate them. To nominate them, fill out the contact form (for the “2+2=*” field, input “4″ without quotes) sending me a web URL, and why you think they should be nominated. I will then contact the rescue to verify/get a description of what they do and a photo so their rescue can be added to the nomination list. Anyone can nominate a rescue! Even the rescue itself! Only 10 rescues can be nominated, what are you waiting for???

Nominations will close Sunday, July 11, 2010. So get your favorite rescue in now! Starting July 12, 2010, voting will begin on our facebook page. Voting will close on August, 21, 2010 – 1 week before the clinic. The rescue with the most number of votes will get this portion of the profit!

Last Chance Corral

501(3)(c) not for profit organization in Athens, OH
View Last Chance Corral’s facebook entry!

“The Last Chance Corral has been rescuing horses since 1985. Each year we take in approximately 150 orphaned foals, a coincidental “byproduct” of the Thoroughbred racing industry. These foals’ mothers are then leased out to raise a Thoroughbred baby while their own foals are simply slaughtered so that the Thoroughbred mare can go and get rebred. The Last Chance Corral intervenes on their behalf (or as many as we possibly can). The newborns are brought to our facility where we perform triage and provide “preschool”. Once they are stabilized the orphans are then available for adoption. When placed, this allows us to recycle our space and resources to rescue more foals. In addition …” Visit the LCC facebook entry page to read more!

Serenity Horse Rescue

A 501(3)(c) not for profit organization in Springboro, OH
View the Serenity Horse Rescue facebook page!

“Serenity Horse Rescue is currently home to over 45 rescued equines. We rescue, rehabilitate and adopt out horses to forever homes and for those that aren’t adoptable, we provide a sanctuary program where they can live out the rest of their days surrounded by our loving volunteers. The barn we lease, though adequate now, is quickly becoming much too small. We need our own facility to provide care for more horses that need help but we don’t have the money. The horses’ interests are our number one priority and if just our hearts could provide, they would want for nothing.” View the Serenity Horse Rescue facebook entry page!
