With 150 horses currently under care and placement requests on the rise, operators of the Grace Foundation of Northern California hope horse trainers can help some of their charges find permanent homes.

The Honoring Equines for Life Project (HELP) Rescue Me Trainer’s Challenge offers natural horsemanship trainers $10,000 in prize money to prepare rescued horses with varying levels of training for adoption.

"People are losing jobs, are in foreclosure, and more and more horses are coming into rescues. If we don’t think out of the box, we have few prospects to rehome our horses," said Grace Foundation Development Director Linda Bak

This competition is just one example of the campaigns some equine welfare groups hope will relieve overburdened rescues or keep horses out of rescues altogether
