EqWBR wins Scholarship from HSUS & Doris Day Equine Center

"Plan 4 Progress - Congratulations are in order", that was the subject line of this email we just received:

Congratulations, We are pleased to inform you that your organization has been selected to receive a scholarship for Plan 4 Progress.This scholarship entitles your organization to join The Humane Society of the United States and the Doris Day Equine Center in partnership with Carter Ranch Horse and Trevor Carter in an 8 month long program designed to support rescue centers who train horses that have been through traumatic experiences, and help increase their adoption success rates.

We couldn't be happier than to have this fabulous opportunity to educate ourselves to further help horses we assist both here at the rescue and those off-site as we have for the last many years.   

EqWBR has helped dozens of orphaned foals and weanlings from slaughter feed lots and auctions in recent years, and I have worked gentling several mustangs through the Mustang Heritage Foundation prior to our incorporating EqWBR in 2011.  

Liam, the weanling (3-6 months old) needing surgery who dumped at Mike's Auction in Mira Loma in Feb. 2013 and rescued by us after seeing him on Auction Horse Rescue's Facebook page, will be the first to benefit.    

We rescue Liam as a baby from Mike's Auction in Feb. 2013

Now a yearling, Liam is the perfect age to work with and that will be a HUGE help to whoever adopts him.

This is another way for us to stay up-to-date on training methods and have access to experts we would otherwise not be able to afford and to provide our adopters with exclusive training materials too. 

We will also be able to network with leading, like-minded rescue organizations and trainers to implement standards for rehoming horses humanely, efficiently and effectively.  This program will be tailored around our needs to help us achieve the most success in rehoming horses.   Something we take very seriously.  

In November we may have the opportunity to attend part two of the Basic Skills for Difficult Horses Clinic at the Doris Day Equine Center for hands on learning, coaching and instruction.   What a dream come true!

Boy, I thought moving to rural America would put us in the slow lane, but that just doesn't seem to be the case as we continue to get such wonderful opportunities to help more horses.   

Thank you all so very much for your continued support!
