Habitat for Horses is assisting in the rescue of equines that are victims of Hurricane Katrina and their rehabilitation location was evacuated because of Hurricane Rita.

   With continued authorization of federal and local authorities, trained rescue volunteers will proceed to any location where horses have been spotted and transport them to safety. All efforts will be made to contact the owners.

   This operation is an all-volunteer effort, funded by donations from individuals like you, companies and organizations around the world. Individuals with equine experience may join the organization and aid in the relief efforts.

   Habitat for Horses will distribute donated items in the areas affected by Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Katrina.

   Some of the items needed for these horses are buckets, halters, lead ropes, hay nets, fly spray, medical supplies and feed.
