STOP the backyard Breeding Program.

If anyone wants to donate money or has a horse they got gelded check this out! This is a great program to support.

Stop-the-Backyard-Breeder Program:
REBATE AVAILABLE FOR GELDING STUD COLTS AND STALLIONS

Through the inspiration of Front Range Equine Rescue, who implemented this program in 2002, HyTyme Equine Rescue, Whispering Winds Equine Rescue & Strawberry Mountain Mustangs are teaming up with Front Range Equine Rescue’s Stop the Backyard Breeder program. To date hundreds of responsible horse owners have received partial reimbursement for the surgical expense to castrate their stud colts or stallions.

In 2005, over 94,000 unwanted horses went to slaughter; in 2006, close to 100,000 horses met this cruel fate. You can help to decrease the unwanted horse population by not allowing your stud colt(s) or stallion(s) to breed.

To participate, send a copy of your vet bill showing the cost of the castration surgery to Front Range Equine Rescue, P.O. Box 307, Larkspur, CO 80118. Be sure to mention where you received your information.

Reimbursements are based on the actual surgery cost and available funding. Current reimbursements range from $25 to $55; more is provided for cryptorchid surgeries.

Program applies to all equines, including burros and donkeys.

Sounds like a good idea!! Hopefully folks will take advantage of it!

You know I'm a fan of gelding, poor Chester was gelded twice! LOL

I already took advantage of it Thank you to Darla and Susan for letting me know

This is fabulous! Taking the same approach as with feral cats.....alter them and make it cheap, or free!

A lady around the corner is a backyard breeder. She had two mares and one stud out in pasture recently. One mare is a FULL sister to the stud, the other mare is the stud's MOTHER. She is/was nearly 30. Maybe she was pregnant.....hard to tell.....she died recently of untreated colic. But the sister sure is, and getting bigger by the day. Totally inbred. The stud is has no business as a stud. I will drop this rebate info to her.

You know, maybe she's one of those owners who thinks, "You mean, a brother and sister would really do it together? No Waaaaay! And his mother? No!"
