HELP US CARE FOR ALBERTA’S HERD THIS WINTER.
▼
Alberta’s Equine Community
It is estimated that Alberta is home to more than 320,000 horses, approximately 33% of the total horse population in Canada. There is not an industry more diverse than the equine industry, which includes, but is not limited to, racing, sport, ranching, breeding, boarding, pleasure, recreation, and companion animals.
With over 18,000 members, in over 435 communities and covering a wide variety of interests, disciplines, industry partners, breeds, health and welfare of equines among others, we are committed to the entire Alberta Equine Community, humans and herd, whether members or not.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alberta Equestrian Federation, along with leading industry partners, has launched “Alberta Equine Partners for the Herd”, a fundraising initiative to support the equine community in Alberta during these difficult and uncertain times to come. We care wholeheartedly about Alberta’s horses and we are concerned about the risk to their well-being due to the financial difficulties brought on by the pandemic.
We need your help
In a recent call-out to the equine community in the province, it is apparent there is a need.
%
of those in need will require hay and veterinary assistance for basic care
%
of respondents have 3 months or less of reserves to provide basic care
%
of those in need will require pelleted feed and straw for basic care
%
of those in need will require shavings, salt and minerals for basic care
Without support, many in the community may be faced with difficult decisions. We want to ensure the health, safety, welfare and care of equines in Alberta, because without horses, the Alberta equine community would cease to exist.
As a community, we are stronger together – we share the mutual love for horses.
