Euthanasia instead of slaughter

$500 Reward for Equihab horses

Reporting ABUSE

Equihab is a non-profit charity, serving the horse community in a wide variety of ways:

Our goal is to reduce or eliminate suffering of equines. We offer a second chance to horses at risk for neglect, abuse, abandonment, or slaughter. The horses are rehabilitated and checked out by a vet before being adopted out. Then the horses are made available at very affordable fees.

If you witness abuse, neglect, or abandonment, we are not law enforcement but we have some suggestions for you. If it's local to us, we don't mind getting directly involved.

We sponsor or put on educational presentations, booths, clinics, and seminars. We feel an educated horse owner will give the best care. Need a speaker for your group? Just ask!

Equihab works as a safe retirement home for any Equihab horse at any time. We do not contribute to the excess horse population because we always take back any horse we adopted out at any time and for any reason.

We can't always take on every horse that is offered to us, but we want to give owners options. Some may be eligible for owner donation; however, non-emergency horses are taken in only as space permits. If your horse is ready to be retired, we recommend you look into retirement farms in your area, since we're not set up for long-term retirement. (Tip: go to google and search "retirement horse farm" or "retirement board" and add your state name) You're also welcome to post horses in need of good homes to our discussion list, adopt-a-horse.

If you ever find any Equihab horse anywhere but the adoptive home, we will pay you a reward! We do our best to screen & follow-up with every horse, but should any of them somehow end up in an auction, kill pen, newspaper ad, or anywhere else, we put up a $500 reward.

As part of the "$500 Reward" program and to ensure our horses' safety, we microchip all the horses. We are happy to share our chip scanner with you, if you're local. Or we can tell you where to buy one of your own. We've even sponsored microchipping clinics in the past to help horse owners get affordable chips/registration for their horses.

We fund raise to create a euthanasia fund for owners with a suffering horse who cannot afford euthanasia. There should be no excuse for letting a dying horse suffer or shipping a suffering horse to slaughter.

Going the extra mile: we are more that nice people trying to find horses homes. We give ongoing support to anyone who asks. We offer a mentor program where a less experienced person can network with others for advice. Our Board members are so dedicated to helping others they have hauled others' horses to the vet for an emergency, helped friends of Equihab horse shop even when the horse they were looking at was for sale elsewhere, and do free trims for people who need it.

We're the friendly horse adoption program! Kindness ripples outwards to other people and then to the horses.
