- These guys, Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, save horses coming off the track and let them retire instead of ending up in the slaughter house. Very good organization.
- This is a wonderful rescue organization for horses. Any donation of money or even tack is appreciated greatly. http://www.lser.org/
- Most all horse charities are good. I do know that United Pegasus Foundation in Southern California is trying to save some horses currently. The owner has about 15 horses he is wanting to send to the slaughterhouse. Helen is currently trying to save the horses from going to slaughter. Because they have 160 horses on their lots, they have no where to put these other horses and so the current owner has agreed to not send the horses to slaughter if he can get $30 per horse per month. They have until September to get the horses. You can contact Helen by phone to talk to her more about what the United Pegasus is doing and she can tell you more about the horses that she is trying to keep from going to slaughter. Or you can check out their website at: www.unitedpegasus.com Helen (951) 285-1266 I just checked the website and there has been some changes since I spoke with Helen. They are currently trying to get the slaughter bound horses here in the US by the end of January. It appears there has been an increase in urgency for the horses. I do check several of the various horse rescue agencies and at this time, I would say that United Pegasus Foundation is the one in most urgent need. The others seem to be hanging in there currently.
