Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society Celebrates ASPCA HelpAHorse Day with
Bluebonnet's Celebration of the Horse Events:
Month-Long Celebration of the Horse Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society (BEHS) will be celebrating the ASPCA®
(The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) national HelpA- Horse Day and competing with rescues across the country for a chance to win up to $25,000 in prizes to assist with their efforts to protect horses. Bluebonnet has rescued over 880 abandoned, abused, and neglected equines since February 2005. The organization is holding Bluebonnet’s Celebration of the Horse to recognize
the rescue’s horses and volunteers during a series of events held throughout April. These events are designs to provide information about the rescue’s work to the public, recruit new volunteers, raise funds to care for the needy horses, and find homes for rehabilitated horses.
The goal of the nationwide Help a Horse Day’s competition is for local rescues to raise awareness about the lifesaving work they do year-round to care for horses in their community who have often been abused or neglected. Horses have been central to the ASPCA’s work since its founding 151 years ago. Funds raised by Bluebonnet’s Celebration of the Horse will be used locally to help law enforcement agencies in Texas investigate reports of neglect or abuse, re- move abused, neglected, and abandoned horses and other equines, and to provide food, medical care, and foster homes to rehabilitate those equines. None of the funds raised at Bluebonnet’s Celebration of the Horse events go to the ASPCA® or other organi- zations. “We’ve been so busy this year already,” says Bluebonnet’s Executive Director Dr.
Jennifer William. “We’ve taken in over 35 horses and two donkeys and assisted several law enforcement agencies already. And our help has been requested for even more
