Silent Auction To Benefit Kentucky's Hungry Horses

We’ve all been frustrated and heart-broken by the images of Kentucky’s starving horses in the media. None of us can save them all, but we can each do something to save a few, and the Kentucky Horse Park is going to make it very easy for you to do that!

We are seeking high quality items for a silent auction during our John Henry Memorial Equine Adoption Fair, June 28, 2008 at 6pm.

All proceeds will benefit the Kentucky Horse Council’s Save Our Horses (SOHO) fund, which has already saved the lives of many horses and ponies across the state of Kentucky this year though its emergency horse hotline. The fund provides financial support for feed and veterinarian care when a good Samaritan or a county cares for a horse that has been confiscated due to its poor condition. In addition, the fund is providing an Equine Abuse Investigation Class to train local officials how to successfully identify horses that need help, and how to ensure prosecution when it is warranted.

We will also feature adoptable horses representing a number of breeds from several equine rescue organizations in the area, in an effort to assist these wonderful organizations in finding good homes for their horses.

This event will take place during the MidSouth Pony Club Mega Rally at the park, in partnership with the Kentucky Horse Council.

Would you please consider donating an item to our silent auction, to assist in this life-saving effort? Of course, it’s tax-deductible. We’ll be happy to pick up your item and provide you with a receipt for tax purposes. Just contact Kathy Hopkins at 859-259-4291 or Tracy Walker at 859-259-4262 for more information or to donate auction items.

Thank you for being part of the solution!

Evidence please.

This parroting of "hungry horses in KY" withut proof, without accurate, verifiable irrefutable proof whatsoever is deception.

The last time there was a report of hungre horses found in Kentucky it was a hoax by a non-horse owning citizen who admitted the lie.
