Horse Rescue Group Helping Louisiana’s Horses
See bottom of page for donation information
Habitat for Horses/Lone Start Equine Rescue is organizing a massive relief and rescue effort to help the equines of southern Louisiana after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina forced millions to evacuate. A large
number of horses, mules and donkeys are now in danger of starvation, injury and death if relief efforts are not immediately taken. FEMA and the USDA are now in control of the areas most devastated by the hurricane. As quickly
as they allow, our emergency relief efforts will start
Volunteers from Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma will gather at a central staging area and proceed to the designated sites in Louisiana. From that point, trained
rescue volunteers will proceed to any location where horses have been spotted and attempt to extricate and transport them to safety, where they will receive medical care from the Louisiana State Veterinarian Office. All efforts
will be made to contact the owners. If contact cannot be made, the animals will be transported to another location for recovery.
Habitat for Horses/Lone Start Equine Rescue will operate under the guidance and control of
FEMA and the USDA during this operation. This operation is an all-volunteer effort, funded by donations from individuals, companies and organizations around the United States. Individuals with equine experience may join the
organization and aid in the relief efforts.
Financial donations are needed to help fund this massive undertaking.
Estimates range from several hundred to several thousand horses that are currently lost, injured or in
danger. Hay and feed will be needed in large quantities, plus medical supplies such as bandages and antiseptics.
Trailers, temporary equine fencing, tarps, buckets new lead ropes and halters are also needed.
