HELP US HELP HORSES IN CRISIS

Fleet of Angels has been called "the most responsive national go-to organization in the country" for helping horse owners and small rescues when they need urgent assistance after being devastated by a natural disaster or other major emergency. 

































No other equine-centric nonprofit in the country laser-focuses its resources on the mission of providing grants and critical services to both private owners and small rescues to help horses through crises. 

We urgently need your help with the challenge of keeping horses safe and in good care through the seemingly unending crises currently affecting horses in the United States and beyond. Never before in our history have we been asked to help so many horse owners and small rescues overcome challenges that threaten the wellbeing of equines in their care. Horses suffer if we aren't able to step up, and we hope that you will join us in our goal of never having to turn our backs on equines in crisis due to a lack of funds.

From devastating wildfires still raging in the west to catastrophic hurricanes in the south and east, and with both draught and flooding wrecking havoc in between, disasters are putting incredible numbers of horses and their equine relatives in very perilous situations.  

Our goal is to keep horses safe and in good care so they can stay with their loving families and equine friends, giving their owners more time to regroup, repair, and start to recover from devastating situations. By providing a combination of grants and services, Fleet of Angels provides qualified applicants' horses with what they need to stay safe and healthy during temporary challenges.

No other equine-centric nonprofit in the country laser-focuses its resources on the mission of providing grants and critical services to both private owners and small rescues to help horses through crises.

"Holy cow!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!

I can't tell you how much this means to the horses!!!!!

With everything going on, everyone's health being at risk, feed hoarding, I am so worried about the horses loosing funding and being forced to make impossible decisions. This is an unbelievable relief! I can never thank you enough for setting this up and the wonderful people that donated to help us give these deserving horses the love and care they need! I am overwhelmed with appreciation and gratitude!"                                                      -Phyllis V.

"I'm so grateful to your program & donors. Thank you isn't enough to express my reaction to your kindness and generosity. Your foresight is to be commended too because I never imagined it was possible to be in this situation. When I can, it may be 2 years or 5 I'm determined to start my own fund for-profit lesson, boarding and training stables who rely on public income to survive. This is a motivation to pay it forward."

                                 -Erin B.

"THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH! AS I READ THIS MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS.  I HAVE WALKED OUTSIDE DAILY WONDERING WHO I COULD PART WITH OR WHAT COULD I DO. I HAVE FALLEN TO MY KNEES PRAYING FOR ANYTHING.  I WISH I COULD HUG EVERYONE'S' NECKS AND SHAKES EACH AND EVERYONE'S' HANDS. 

I AM BEYOND BLESSED!"

                                  -Casey W.

All the horses and I are so very grateful! Blessing to you and your staff.  Stay safe, stay well!"                                       -Wendy M. 

"This has been such a relief to get the load of hay. I've been having a rough time with finances since my accident in July and now with this COVID-19 I'm not really able to work as social distancing has made it so students can not come out. I take on owner relinquish rescue horses and the only way that I'm able to fund it is through my lessons.

 

Thank you so much for helping me

to continue to care for my animals."

                               -Jeanette A.

"We are extremely grateful for the help we received from Fleet of Angels.

This is a trying time for everyone.  Fleet of Angels has been very responsive during this crisis and you deserve the highest praises for the great work you do, and the efficiency with which you are operating during this crisis.  It makes a big difference to horse owners who are keeping the care of their beloved animals as top priority while at the same time having no income.  Thank you so much for the great work. "
                                        -Lisa S

"I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help that you have given me to get hay for my horses and mules. Due to Covid 19 our business has come to a complete stand still leaving us with no income. Thank you to all of the donors and organizations that have made this possible to help people like myself to feed our equine animals during a terrible time like this that our whole world is going through. Our animals mean the world to us and i was at a complete loss as to how i was going to be able to continue to care for them and this gift has given us the much needed time to get all of this figured out.  We are so grateful and humbled by this gift and I believe that Fleet of Angels is truly a answered prayer."

                                                                                                    -Karen L.
