Many good owners can fall upon hard times. Owners who wish to keep their horse, but need short-term financial assistance, have resources available to them.
Programs such as the Maryland Fund For Horses offer healthcare rebates for veterinary, farrier, and dental services, as well as short term feed assistance through their hay bank program.
Other programs that offer assistance to horses and owners in Maryland and nationwide are listed below. The programs listed here are not endorsed by METS, simply listed as additional resources for owners.
