Vet direct program
The American Association of Equine Practitioners and ASPCA have the Vet Direct Program for owners seeking emergency assistance. Read more here: Vet Direct AAEP
Find out if your vet is part of the Vet Direct Program by asking them or contacting the AAEP.
For owners who need assistance
Hope’s Legacy aims to help as many equines as possible, however our waiting list for owner surrenders is often long and we prioritize equines by greatest and critical need.
We encourage you to look at the Virginia Partnership for Horses website for assistance: https://www.partnershipforhorses.com/
The Virginia Partnership for Horses has information on Virginia Equine rescues and sanctuaries as well as information on helpful resources like:
Rehoming assistance
Feed and Hay assistance
Castration funds/assistance
Euthanasia funds
Disaster Relief funds
