Historic flooding across Colorado has destroyed thousands of homes and farms. Thousands of horses have been displaced or are stranded across 4,500 square-miles of flood-ravaged terrain. This area is densely populated with horses, including many large breeding and training facilities all along the Front Range. Hay and feed are being airlifted to hundreds of stranded farm owners and delivered to hundreds more in dire need of feed for their horses.

Recovery from a disaster of this magnitude will be arduous and ongoing, but not impossible. When the flooding stops, the recovery is only beginning. The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is calling on horse owners to aid affected horsemen and women by donating to the USEF Equine Disaster Relief Fund.

With the support of CEO John Long, the USEF is asking that equestrians, equestrian fans, and all people who share a love for horses make a donation to the USEF Equine Disaster Relief Fund. These recent storms have have made the cost of relocating, feeding, and caring for horses overwhelming. With help the USEF can help ensure horses are not overlooked, forgotten, or abandoned, and help to relieve the burden of affected horse owners and caretakers in this, and in future, times of crisis. This fund was established with the goal of delivering aid in the most effective manner possible.

"It is important to understand this fund is a dollar in and a dollar out," says Long. "Nothing is withheld." Any donation equates to timely and efficient help for horses and horse owners
