Rescues & Resources

This blog has long been known as a place dedicated to helping horses and we really wanted to keep that going. When we first started writing for this blog someone emailed us asking for advice on how they could help an injured horse. We weren’t sure so we reached out to an experienced rescue professional to see what she would recommend. Luckily, in this instance, this professional and her network of contacts were able to help the horse.

Our idea that arose from all of this was to put together a network of contacts – people in the rescue “biz” (for lack of a better term because we all know they ain’t in it for the money!) that are willing to answer questions, provide advice, and help to put people in contact with the right authorities in their particular geographic area. This way, if someone is in a situation where, for example, their neighbor is starving a horse and they’re not sure what their next step would be to help the horse, then they could email us here at the Fugly Blog and we could forward their email on to a rescue professional in their area that could answer their questions and/or help put pressure on the local authorities, or whatever action the situation warrants.

Our goal with this network is to build up a database of contacts all over North America (to start ). All we ask of you is your help in spreading the word whether it be to your local rescue, any rescue contacts you may have, or to other horse people you know so they in turn can continue to spread the word.
