The Center to the Rescue

I have recently been notified that a rare and unique herd of Colonial Spanish horses are sadly being dispersed. From one of the last original families who have bred Colonial Spanish horses for decades, the time has come for them to place individual horses into the hands of others. The Center for America's First Horse has been asked to take on one stallion, a mare and her 2011 filly at her side, and an 11 year old broodmare. The horses must be moved immediately! The owners are not able to support or care for them much longer. We must act now!

We want to bring this breeding group to The Center to continue their legacy. The Center for America's First Horse will be the only facility to have a stallion and mares from these rare bloodlines. A number of offspring of this group of horses already resides at The Center and are proven performance and ambassador horses. Our purpose as a non profit organization is to assist in rescuing Colonial Spanish horses in need, and aid in genetic conservation. An opportunity awaits these horses.

Our organization is ready to bring these horses to Vermont as soon as funds are raised to ship them. $800 has already been donated towards this project. The mare and filly will be placed in foster care near their current home until the spring. The stallion and broodmare are waiting for us to raise an approximate $2,200 in additional funds before they can come to their forever home. It is critical that these horses be transported before our winter weather sets in for good.

Please help us assist these horses by making a donation of any amount. If you can't give financially, consider a donation of goods or services which could be sold or auctioned on Ebay. Your contribution is fully tax deductible. Www.centerforamericasfirsthorse.org
