The Equestrian Corner Supports The Equine Rescue Inc. This Holiday Season
The Equestrian Corner, a leading source of horse clothing and equestrian riding apparel, announces support for New York Charity, Equine Rescue, Inc.
Online, December 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Equestrian Corner, a leading source of horse riding equipment and equestrian apparel, has announced a new charitable event just in time for the holidays. The online store is offering 5% of every purchase over $125 to be donated to Equine Rescue, Inc. of Walden, New York.
The program is currently going on now and will run until December, 25 2011.
"The Equine Rescue, Inc. changes the lives and futures of untold numbers of horses across the United States. Our goal is to sponsor their efforts to rescue, rehabilitate, retrain, and find new homes for these animals that have been confiscated for being mistreated. We couldn't be more impressed by the selfless work of this group, and are proud to support them," said Anne Coyle of TheEquestrianCorner.com (http://www.theequestriancorner.com/).
"Every year thousands of horses and donkeys die needlessly from disease and neglect," explained Coyle. "The American Horse Council estimates there are 9.2 million horses in the United States - many of these without any access to proper care. They may be abandoned, neglected, abused, or slaughtered. Sometimes these horses are lucky and find new homes with organizations like the Equine Rescue Inc. to provide them with care and attention or redirect them to second equine careers, rehabilitation, or retirement facilities."
The Equine Rescue, Inc. is privately funded and relies mainly on donations to keep operating. The average lifespan of a horse is 30 years. This means that Equine Rescue, Inc. will potentially be providing care for each horse for a significant period of time. It costs approximately $1,825 per year to provide basic care for a single horse, but that cost does not include veterinary care. In addition, the horses currently being received by Equine Rescue, Inc. are thinner and sicklier than healthy horses, requiring additional care and expenses.
TheEquestrianCorner.com hopes customers will see the value in sponsoring the Equine Rescue, Inc. and contribute to this very critical cause.
