Save Our Horses
KHC's Horse Welfare Fund

The KY Horse Council recognizes that not all horses in Kentucky are blessed with adequate food, shelter and veterinary care. As a part of the KHC mission to care for the welfare of the horse, the SOHO (Save Our Horses) fund has been established to allow horse owners and enthusiasts to contribute to helping these horses. Donations to the fund are tax-deductible.

The fund is managed by the KHC Health and Welfare committee and used in the following programs:

• Funding the Equine Safety Net, which feeds horses for a month when the owner has had an unexpected loss of job, or a medical emergency that reduces their income
  

• Supporting the Kentucky Large Animal Emergency Rescue, a volunteer effort which rescues horses who have been involved in trailer accidents, fall into ravines, get stuck in mud, and other emergency situations.

• Supporting existing horse rescue facilities through grants and donations

• Providing Equine Abuse Investigation education for Animal Control Agencies and local county officials

• Providing financial support for feeding horses and providing veterinarian care when a good samaritan accepts a horse that has been confiscated due to its poor condition

• Evaluating and improving Kentucky's animal abuse statutes, as they apply to horses.

• Continuing to work to find second careers for horses who are not able to fulfill the purpose for which they were bred.
