There are 6.9 million horses in the US, with over one million in Texas alone. Texas boasts the largest horse population. It's about spending quiet time outdoors with a trusty friend. The animals that are completely rehabbed for use again and are serviceable, will be sold at a fair market price to prospective buyers. This is also a source of self-funding for our Foundation .
Many animals can go on to be serviceable and companions for life.
The solution is to provide shelters that will be set up across the country starting here in Texas to provide an alternative purchase mode for the horses. We will set these up around the state, and network with the many that are now in existence, to PAY the people for these horses much the same as the dealers that are forced to take them to the slaughter plant for lack of a buyer. We will then evaluate each animal for further usefulness. Individuals will also be given tax donation status for donating to Common Ground if they can find no other avenue for the sale of their horses. Many of our horses like the above picture was rehabilitated an sold at a profit for the Foundation and that is a wonderful source of funding for us.
