Our story begins with two good friends and their mutual
love for horses...
Both women were around horses daily and saw ways they could help
these beautiful animals. Somehow a few special horses in need found
them.
"Once you realize how wonderful a rescued horse can
be, it becomes a passion to want to help another one."
After years of informally trying to help horses where we could,
in 2006 we made it official by aquiring our 501(c)3 non-profit status.
The Equihab Foundation, Ltd. was formed and filed for federal non-profit
status. Approval was promptly given, opening the door to so many
opportunities.
We grew to three Board members, adding the wisdom of another long-time
horse owner & trainer. Add to that several dedicated core members,
and an amazing group of volunteers. We're now an powerful entity
that will be serving the community for years to come.
 Fundraising
makes all of this possible
Without donations & grants we can't afford to do any of this.
It takes cash to buy hay or provide vet care. Our current
fundraising programs are online, and we announce fundraising
events on our adopt-a-horse list.
We need you!
Our program also need volunteers.
For those of you not local to the area, consider remotely
volunteering via the internet.
Who is Equihab?
We have a small but very active Board
of Directors who talk several times a week. All Board members
are hands-on and foster, retrain, or show horses.
At the present time, all workers and Board members do so on a volunteer
basis. Because we have no paid employees, a larger percentage of
your donation goes direct to the horses.
Be aware that Equihab receives no government funding. We rely solely
on donations, grants, and adoption fee to make this program possible.
Please consider donating!
Our office is located in the town of North
East in Cecil County, Maryland, which is about halfway between Baltimore
& Philadelphia and just minutes from I-95. The horses are housed
in several farms in and around Cecil County, most only a few miles
from each other.
