The BCIHRS raises funding through public support and numerous events and fundraisers. Work at the rescue is volunteer driven, and your support goes directly to the needs of the horses. By supporting Rescues you not only help with the rehabilitation and placement of horses, you support the education and experience of animal rights everywhere.
Volunteers have the opportunity not just to assist the Rescue, but to interact with riders and professionals. The hands on education and experience is both invaluable and unforgettable.
New Friends – New Experiences - New Beginnings
Horses are a proud and hardworking animal, without whom our country could not have been built. Today they are companion and sport animals who give us enormous enjoyment, love and loyalty.
Unfortunately a downturn in the economy has placed our horses in a precarious state. Inflated horse prices just a few years ago caused backyard breeders to produce more horses than can be sustained. Domestic horses are being turned “free” all across BC to fend for themselves, but they no longer have the knowledge to survive in the wild. Horses that are being abandoned and neglected are in desperate need of help.
Rescues and Societies, volunteers, supporters and donators are banding together to rehabilitate horses in need, to educate the public about horse care and horse issues, and to find foster placements for horses that need immediate and/or temporary homes. Horses are costly to feed and care for, and programs are time consuming and also expensive to develop.
Help is needed to continue this work, to help those who have given so much for us. Please support our efforts by volunteering, donating to or sponsoring a rescue horse or in giving yourself the gift of adopting a horse. It is a demanding life when shared with horses – but a rewarding one.
