The Serious Side
What Would You Do?
What would you do if you came upon a Trailer Accident locally? Or maybe a horse was stuck in a ditch? Or, maybe, let's just say, some how your horse ended up in your swimming pool? Who would you call?
PEER (Polk Equine Emergency Rescue) was formed for just these types of emergencies. Trained and staffed to handle these emergencies, PEER is reached through 911.
Want to donate to PEER's Equine Ambulance Fund and help support the equine ambulance ? Contact Judy Donlan at 828-894-6524.
The Hay Pledge
Want to be a part of our grassroots campaign to help horse owners in difficult times?
This is the fourth year of the Foothills Hay Pledge. Started in response to the drought, The Hay Pledge has answered many needs by local horse owners who have had temporary difficulties due to the economy or illness or unemployment. The Hay Pledge relies on local horse owners who pledge 10 bales of hay if needed, with the understanding that if their own reserves are low, they can take a no-guilt pass. Working in cooperation with local vets and the Foothills Humane Society, The Hay Pledge is can deliver emergency hay when needed. It is not meant to be a permanent solution. If you would like to be a part of The Hay Pledge, email HayPledge@aol.com and send us your name and phone number if you can pledge 10 bales of hay. Let us also know if you are available to deliver with a truck.
