Equine Emergency Help Directory 2024

05.14.2024

With multiple wildfires burning throughout the province, the Equine Emergency Help Directory is again available on our website. The directory provides a connection between those able to help horse owners in an emergency, and those who need help.

If you have the means and are interested in helping equines in need, please complete this form.

*Please note we will not be coordinating the transport of feed or horses, so it will be directly between those who need help and those who offered help to coordinate any interaction.

If you are in need of equine assistance, please consult this directory.

The Equine Emergency Help Directory was created for equines in need as a neutral venue for horse owners and providers of horse-related services to find, communicate with, and interact with each other. The Alberta Equestrian Foundation (“AEF”) does not screen horse owners or service providers in the emergency directory. Service providers are not under the direction or control of AEF and have the sole discretion on how to provide services requested by the horse owners. All transactions conducted using the emergency directory are between the horse owners and service providers. Horse owners and service providers are solely responsible for making decisions that are in the best interests of themselves and their horses and should exercise caution and their independent judgment before engaging a service provider or providing services. AEF makes no representations or warranties about the quality of services provided by the service providers or about the horse owners’ interactions and dealings and AEF expressly disclaims liability for any actions or omissions, claims, injuries, loss, harm and/or damages arising from and/or in any way related to the interactions or dealings between horse owners and service providers.

For ongoing support, please consider a donation to the Equine Disaster Fund.
