Come Join us

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 exciting new program, contact barnmomuserl@yahoo.com

Update!
May 13, 2009:
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. More to come!

"Sam"
"Elliot"
Two Horses surrendered during Johnston County Cruelty Case
October 27, 2009:
Two horses found running at large in Johnston County this past week were surrendered by the owner when he was located. Both are very thin, with one (now named "Elliot") battling from infected saddle sores along his withers and back and both with infected "scratches" on their hind pasterns. Johnston County asked for assistance in housing and rehabilitation and they are now at a USERL quarantine foster farm receiving much needed nutrition and medical attention.

Make a difference in a horse’s life this Valentine’s Day:
Send alittle love!
Help horses like "Duramax", pictured on right, who have few
options for a second chance at life (read his full story at the
NC - Triangle Region website). Found chained to a pickup
truck trailer hitch with no food or water, Duramax was
severely malnourished and needed medical care for old,
infected wounds. Counties have little to no provisions for
cruelty cases for horses. The United States Equine Rescue
League, Inc. provides professional shelter and care for
horses in cruelty investigations. Horses like Duramax,
horses that have no hope…
Duramax is now in the USERL Horse Rehabilitation Program and is gaining strength and getting medical attention for his injuries. Give horses like Duramax hope this Valentine’s Day through USERL’s “Hearts for Horses Campaign!”
USERL is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be sent to the donor for your tax purposes. Go to Guidestar for more program and financial information.
