Disaster Relief
When disaster strikes… we respond.
Help for Horses & Their Caretakers Affected by Natural Disaster
The Foundation responds quickly after natural disasters to help horses and people impacted by wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, and more.
The Foundation works with various equine veterinarians, agencies, and non-profits providing emergency relief, veterinary supplies, and care for horses hurt or displaced during natural disasters.
Foundation welcome gifts year-round for disaster relief and preparedness efforts, as well as grant applications.
Storms come and go, but The Foundation always stands ready to help horses and their caretakers affected by natural disasters.
Storms continue to impact the world and are increasing in intensity, which places more horses, working equines, and their caretakers in harm’s way.
The Foundation works directly with AAEP-member veterinarians to coordinate direct needs when local communities are impacted. In addition, The Foundation collaborates with and provides grants to institutions and programs that are training veterinarians, veterinary students, first responders, and others on how best to manage equine care before and after natural disasters.
To apply for a grant or notify us of horses in need due to a natural disaster, please contact The Foundation team by calling (859) 233-0147 or emailing info@foundationforthehorse.org.

“Ten days after Hurricane Maria, we got our first container full of feed, and with it a stock of medical supplies specifically from The Foundation for the Horse. Without those large organizations, I don’t think we would have been able to get as
much help as we did.”
