REBATE AVAILABLE FOR GELDING STUD
COLTS AND STALLIONS
Through
the inspiration of
Front Range Equine Rescue, who
implemented this program in 2002,
Whispering Winds
Equine Rescue teamed up with Front
Range Equine Rescue’s Stop the Backyard Breeder program. To
date hundreds of responsible horse owners have received partial
reimbursement for the surgical expense to castrate their stud colts or
stallions.
In 2005, over 94,000
unwanted horses went to slaughter; in 2006, close to 100,000 horses
met this cruel fate. You can help to decrease the unwanted horse
population by not allowing your stud colt(s) or stallion(s) to breed.
To participate, send
a copy of your vet bill showing the cost of the castration surgery to
Front Range Equine Rescue, P.O. Box 307, Larkspur, CO 80118. Be sure
to mention where you received your information.
Reimbursements are
based on the actual surgery cost and available funding. Current
reimbursements range from $25 to $55; more is provided for cryptorchid
surgeries.
Program applies to
all equines, including burros and donkeys.
