Our mission

is to provide a safety net for unwanted, abandoned, neglected, and aged horses who are without alternatives for their care, while fostering compassion and responsibility for horses through education, outreach, and intervention. The Foundation achieves its goal by providing SERVICE to the community, SUPPORT to Oregon horses and horse owners, and SANCTUARY to horses to horses in need.

SERVICE

Equamore Academy

was established in 2010 to provide education for horse owners and for those who respond to reports of horses in jeopardy.

The Large Animal Rescue Clinic is offered annually so sheriff’s deputies, animal control officers, search and rescue teams, horse rescue operators, and the general public have access to the knowledge and equipment they need to help animals during emergencies.

Pictured above, participants in the August, 2011, clinic ponder their last simulation: extricating a rider and saving the horse below the bridge crossing over Neal Creek at Eden farm.

The Henneke Body Scoring Clinic provides certification in a standardized system for judging whether an animal is in eminent danger of starvation and in need of formal intervention by law enforcement.

The Anderson Sling was purchased in 2008 through

a grant donation and is available to veterinarians and first responders when

a horse in their care is temporarily unable to stand on its own.

The Academy also offers training to Equamore stewards and guardians on safe horse handling and horse care.

SUPPORT

The Oregon Hay Bank

was organized as an Equamore extension service in 2008 to keep horses at home with the people who love them. Horse owners can request enough hay to get through a temporary financial crisis, or they can attend one of the free health clinics organized by the Hay Bank across the state.

Throughout 2011, the health fairs provided vet checks, teeth floating, hoof trimming, gelding, and bodywork at no cost

to horse owners in Clackamas, Jackson, Jefferson, Douglas, Klamath, Harney, and Josephine counties. Vaccinations were offered at a reduced price.

The picture above shows Dr. Bill Ferguson of Rogue Valley Equine Hospital, an Equamore business partner, checking the teeth of a mature horse

at the Health Fair held at Eden Farm in April of 2011.

The Hay Bank and Equamore Foundation are proud of having helped over 1,000 horses stay with their families in 2010 and 2011 and intend to improve the delivery of quality health care in 2012.

The Oregon Hay Bank works closely with other Oregon and northern California rescue organizations.

SANCTUARY

The Sanctuary at

Eden Farm

provides safety and security to aged or neglected horses with no other alternatives for their care.

Bryant, pictured here, recovered from months of neglect in just six months after having been rescued.

Red Cloud, pictured below, lived a long and happy retirement at the sanctuary, finally succumbing in 2011 at

the age of 42.

Both horses picture what your donations and Equamore volunteers

have done for the many horses brought to us during our 36 years we

have been in existence, and since 1996 when be became a nonprofit to which contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law.
