Donate to USERL now to assist neglected and abused horses! USERL is unique in that no property is owned to use donated funds for maintenance, property mortgage, taxes, etc. Therefore, donated funds are largely for the direct expenses related to the care of the horses in our program such as veterinary care, feed, hay, bedding and farrier services. In addition, USERL is primarily a volunteer organization with only 2 part-time employees. Therefore, your donation makes a direct impact on those that need it - the horses!

"Susan" is a filly in our Colorado Region. She was rescued from going to auction and possibly slaughter by a good Samaritan and donated to USERL to receive the rehab and care that she needed. She had a body score of 2.5, is heavily parasitized and an old injury to her hind leg. The vet feels her injury is an old one that was not properly cared for and was allowed to fester under the skin. She has had radiographs, which thankfully show no bone damage, and she is currently on antibiotics with daily bandage changes and wound care. If she does not improve, she will need surgery for the wound to be further explored. She is an absolute sweetheart and has been adopted by the resident rescued Clydesdale, "Alli".
Her expenses for treating the injury are estimated to be $900 to clear the infection.
If you would like to donate funds to assist with her care, you can donate via the paypal link below:
