<h1>Abandoned Horses - The Rising Concern Of Equine Society</h1> Have you ever heard of a phrase called "The Abandoned Horses"? Do you know what it means? "Abandoned Horse" is a phrase which is used to describe horses which is considered no longer useful by its owners. Some horse owners are either dispassionate or they might not be capable in providing proper care for their horses. Due to the price hike of hay and grains, many horse owners are experiencing the economic pinch.<br /><br />Accordingly, what happens to all these abandoned horses? All over USA many horse rescue agencies are working very hard in saving as many horses they can. They are struggling too hard in raising revenues to provide proper care for rescued horses. The economical situation and hiking prices of hay and grains are prompting many horse rescue agencies to close their doors. So if the rescue agencies stop working due to economic crisis, the amount of horses in need raises and it will be a great disaster for the equine society. Latest survey states that basic care for one horse is around $1,500 to $2,000 per annum.<br /><br />Last year over 100,000 horses from the United States were slaughtered and shipped overseas for human consumption. New statistics say that 93% of the 100,000 horses were considered healthy, but were still slaughtered.<br /><br />So as a horse owner what can you do to solve this problem? First you must discover some proper ways to take care of your horse by providing the best you can even though you are financially weak. And one thing, when you are not in a situation to take proper care of your horse, find a good rescue agency in your area and admit your horse, so that they can take care or your horse.<br /><br />Even though you don't own a horse, dedicate your time in rescuing some of the horses which are in need around you. This would be one of the greatest thing you can do to offer a second life for those abandoned animals. If you are not in a position to help physically, then you can help rescues economically by joining some well known horse rescue associations.<br /><br />So by joining our hands together, let's take a pledge to save these neglected horses and build an equine friendly society. <h2>About the Author</h2> Nancy Swigart is a great lover of horses and she has been a nurse for 35 years.
