If you are unable to provide a home for a horse at this time, you can show your love with a gift of money, time or supplies.
Indiana Horse Rescue is run completely by volunteers. Without your support in the form of adoptions and
donations
IHR would not exist. IHR will continue to do everything within its means to help prevent such suffering--but we cannot do it alone.
Good intentions are the foundation of this charity, but caring for horses requires funding on a day by day basis.
IHR and our network of foster farms can only do so much on a limited budget.
If you can toss a few coins in the hat, you can rest assured that you are helping a good cause. Your donation could make the difference between life and death for a horse,
literally. Thanks to those who have already joined the IHR family and welcome to those of you who are just getting to know us.
We have attended many auctions in
the past including the Shipshewana
Auction in Shipshewana, IN. When funds and space allow, we bid against the
kill buyers that purchase
these horses for slaughterhouses. America's
horses are being slaughtered alive for human consumption. Yes, people are eating
horsemeat!! After slaughtered, horse meat is exported
overseas.
We
have young
and old horses alike. Yes, we bring in young, healthy, rideable horses,
and sometimes we bring home aged and/or seriously sick or injured horses. All horses must go through a quarantine period.
During that
period we evaluate them to see what type of temperament they
have. We then expose these horses to all types of noises and
situations to see if they appear to be safe for children, if they are rideable,
if so what type of riding can they do. All horses adopted by
Animal Protection Coalition are tracked for
the rest of their lives. We require reports & pictures be sent
annually
to verify their needs are being met.
