Whilst looking up details about Prince Fluffy Kareem, I came across Equine Advocates, also. Founded back in 1996, Equine Advocates has the following mission statement:
“The mission of Equine Advocates is to rescue, protect and prevent the abuse of horses through education, investigation, rescue operations, the dissemination of information to the public and the operation of a horse sanctuary for slaughter-bound, abused and neglected horses.”
Equines cover both horses and ponies, donkeys and also mules. It was in 2004 that a 140-acre property for the rescue and sanctuary of equines was setup by this not for profit organisation. It is based in upstate New York and is a place where equines can live out their lives in a “natural environment that allows them to socialise with each other.” There are more than 80 such occupants at the facility.
A couple of years later in 2006, they opened the Humane Education Center. Here you can come to learn about many things. This includes “equine issues, responsible horse guardianship, humane horse handling, natural horsemanship, and many other important subjects that affect the welfare of our equine friends.”
Equine Advocates, a Not for Profit
It seems that Equine Advocates can boast many achievements, including the production of their first children’s book. This is entitled Do Horses Sleep Standing Up? You can purchase it from their website.
Are you interested in setting up a horse rescue sanctuary facility in the future? Then you may be interested to learn about the accreditations that Equine Advocates has. They have been accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. Perhaps this could be something for you to aim for in the future.
