at the Barns!
at the Barns!
A new program launched in 2007 is becoming a favorite among volunteers, and the horses. The Barn Program involves volunteers coming to Triangle area quarantine barns to help out with the horses stabled at that location. Stalls are cleaned, horses are brushed, buckets are scrubbed and horses are held for the farrier. Both the volunteers and horses benefit immensely from the hands on care of the horses.
To organize these "Barn Days", Barn Coordinators were elected to schedule days, and to organize and supervise volunteers. This gives a much needed break to the property owners and allows the public to interact with the USERL horses. The horses also benefit from all the extra TLC!
For more information about this program, contact barnmomuserl@yahoo.com

USERL assisted Nash County with a neglect case. Before the horses could be picked up and transported (the owners had agreed to surrendering them), a good sumaritan citizen found them escaped in the road and purchased them. She contacted USERL, and was rehabilitating them until the loss of her job. USERL accepted them into the Horse Program to complete their rehab and find them new homes.
The private rescuer did a wonderful job with their rehab, with one being more difficult to put weight on then the other. Read more...

Cruelty Case in Alamance County
Update!
Both of these horses, Ricky on left and Ozzie on right, were donated via the NCSU - College of Veterinary Medicine. They were admitted for severe eye injuries and the owners could not afford surgery. They were donated to the vet school and both have had the injured eye removed. The vet school donated the horses to USERL for recovery and eventual adoption into new homes. Both are well trained horses whose ability to function after the loss of an eye is minimal. Ricky currently has a wonderful foster home considering to adopt him. Ozzie needs a foster home to continue his rehabilitation from his trauma (hit by car) until he finds an adoptive home.
