Our Hearts and Prayers to the families of the Tornadoes in OK

Horses bodies are scattered among the debris.   Devastating loss of life for animals in the tornadoes path. 
The major news stations have aired so many pictures of the tornado and talked about the horrendous damage and loss of human lives which is devastating.  The loss of animal lives was huge.    Orr Family Farm in Moore, OK. sustained a loss of up to 100 horses.   Most dying in the tornado and many having to be put down because of the injuries sustained.    All the buildings have destruction and some can be seen on their Facebook page OrrFamilyFarm.


If you feel you want to donate to help various ways, I have a few things noted below where you can make donations.   We are not endorsing any of these, rather just sharing the information.

They are also accepting donations via PayPal using this link: Donate to Orr Family Farm.  

Neighboring farm, Celestial Acres, was also hardly hit, but there was 34 horses confirmed alive.  I am unsure if they are needing funds or have set up a fund raiser.

The American Quarter Horse Association is raising funds and here is their link: Aqua Tornado Relief Fund .

I found this post on Facebook (but have not confirmed):

Facebook has several pages for recovery, found pets, lost pets, how to help or donate, etc. that you can search. Here is the link to: OK Pets lost and found

As always, the Red Cross and Salvation Army are helping and will take donations.

As a horse owner, and a horse rescue, we understand the close relationship people have with their beloved horses and know these owners hearts are breaking to pieces as are those whose families lost children or other family members.    We feel great sadness for them all and will continue our prayers to ease their pain.
