Horses live outside in fields and barns year-round. Today they are running out of water to drink during this 100-year Texas freeze. Electric power for water well pumps in the fields, barns and corrals in Texas has failed. Power in the big Texas cities is slowly being restored, but not so in the rural areas of the state where horses are struggling to survive in these harsh and unforgiving weather conditions.
Life sustaining hay supplies are nearly exhausted across the state threatening these horses with famine. This sudden and unprecedented winter storm has created misery and life-threatening conditions for so many sick, injured, and abandoned horses in the Southwest region of our country. Rescuers are struggling to keep these weak animals from starvation. Demand for hay is exhausting suppliers’ inventories and prices are skyrocketing if you can find it. Now supplies must come from out of state with delayed deliveries and double and triple pricing.
Animals Abused & Abandoned, Inc is appealing for emergency donations to help us get hay and veterinarian services to the animals in the care of volunteer horse rescuers working day and night to protect the lives of these innocent and abandoned animals.
