Equine Rescue of Aiken

Did you know we adopted 70 horses this year, have 67 horses on property. Had over 5000 visitors, 50 youth go through our Juvenile Justice program over 100 veterans helped though the SWH. Over 13,000 volunteer hours. All of this was done at no charge but though donations made by you our supporters. PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION HELP US HELP BOTH HORSES AND PEOPLE.......

Still time to help us help horses and people in need. We charge zero for any of our programs. Our Facility horses and staff are paid for though donations made by you. Our Administrative cost Are less than15%.
Please SHARE SHARE SHARE....

It is the end of the year and donations have slowed way down! We have about 67 horses and we need your help. The rescue runs solely on donations and during the holidays our donations slow way down.

With the drought this summer and not getting enough rain, we have been feeding out our winter hay since August and our feed bill has grown immensely.

We know during the holidays money can be tight, but if you are able to help we sure could use it!!

We are so thankful to be accepted into the Take2 program. We will now be able to re home even more thoroughbred racehorses into new careers! This year we have rehomed 70 horses! We are tickled to death and so happy for all these horses to have new homes to enjoy! Our November adoption incentive was a success in finding many horses homes before the holidays! We have accepted Tomorrow Tomato into our program to find a new home thanks to Richard Schosberg and we now need help finding low cost shipping for her! If you have any leads or can help he will need shipping from Belmont to Aiken!

She is beautiful as ever and if you are chomping at the bit about adopting this perfect face please go ahead and submit an application through our website at www.aikenequinerescue.org
