Equine Safety Net Program
The Equine Safety Net was established to assist those caring horse owners who have temporary financial setbacks (such as a job loss, disaster or medical incident within the past 6 months), and are having difficulties feeding their horses.
The North Carolina Horse Council will feed up to two horses for 30 days, so that these individuals may consider alternatives for the horses or get back on their feet financially. Applications for 30 day extensions are also considered.
