FWD: Your generosity gives hope to foals like this
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
It’s Suzanne Roy – Executive Director of the American Wild Horse Campaign. I wanted to make sure you saw our email yesterday.
I’m so proud that AWHC’s Rescue Fund was able to support Creedence’s care. He is just one example of the hundreds of wild horses and burros we’ve been able to help over the years all thanks to your generosity. None of this important work we do would be possible without your support.
On Tuesday, my team let you know that we set a goal to raise $25,000 by midnight tonight to recharge our Rescue Fund and help us continue powering our efforts. Right now, we’re still $10,261 away from reaching our goal.
HELP US REACH OUR GOAL |
Thank you for stepping up for our wild herds.

Subject: Your support gives hope to foals like this
Yesterday, we told you about the importance of our Rescue Fund. Through this vital program, we’ve helped save hundreds of wild horses and burros from being shipped to slaughter and supported the medical care of dozens of rescued animals in need of care. Including Creedence!
HELP US CARE FOR FOALS LIKE CREEDENCE |
Creedence was born on Nevada’s Virginia Range in March of last year. But soon after, our partners at Wild Horse Connection (WHC) got word from a concerned resident that Creedence was unable to stand up several hours after he was born. So, volunteers from WHC and a rescue team from Least Resistance Training Concepts (LRTC) were immediately dispatched to try to get him up and back with his mother so she could feed him the milk he desperately needed.
Unfortunately, he was still too weak and cold to stand up on his own, so he was transported straight to Comstock Equine Hospital where blood work and other tests were run. Since Creedence had gone so long without nursing from his mom, he had to have a plasma fusion to survive.
But thankfully, Comstock Equine Hospital was able to provide him with the treatment that he needed, and he was able to leave the hospital and continue receiving loving care back with WHC!
We are so proud to partner with local rescue organizations in Nevada like WHC to help fuel their work as they care for orphaned or abandoned foals. Your support for our Rescue Fund enables us to help these organizations pay for veterinary bills and the supplies they need to make sure no foal is left behind.
HELP US REACH OUR GOAL |
We also help fund life-saving foal kits. These foal kits are essential to expanding foal rescue capacity and to treating babies on the range so hopefully, no removal is necessary. The kits include wound care, foal milk replacer, colostrum replacement, and Air for Paws units, which are units small enough to provide oxygen to foals’ tiny muzzles.
SUPPORT THE RESCUE FUND |
Thank you,
Team AWHC
