In the wake of the devastation caused by the recent wildfires in Southern California, the U.S. Equestrian Team Foundation has awarded a $25,000 grant to Fleet of Angels to support relief efforts for the equestrian community that has been impacted by this disaster. Funds from the grant will help Fleet of Angels provide hay and shavings as well as assist in offsetting costs related to fencing repairs and veterinary fees.
“We are deeply grateful to the USET Foundation for the generous support,” said Elaine Nash, Fleet of Angels founder and executive director. “The wildfires have displaced countless horses and owners and have contributed to increased logistical difficulties and financial strain. This grant will allow us to continue our vital work providing immediate relief to these horses and their owners. Thanks to the support of thoughtful individuals and mission-driven organizations such as the USET Foundation, we can drive purposeful change for those who need it most.”

USET Foundation Executive Director Bonnie Jenkins said the group was glad to award the grant.

We hope that the resilience of the equestrian community, as well as the support of like-minded organizations, can offer some measure of comfort and assistance to those affected by the fires.”
