For the second year in a row, Roanchar Ranch Draft Horse Rescue participated in the Forever Foundation. The program combines video-based learning with hands-on training in an effort to help make rescue horses more adoptable.
The program also includes (3) 60-day challenges where participants put theory into practice to achieve weekly tasks and win prizes. Roanchar Ranch Draft Horse Rescue’s own Abe won for trailer loading and received a new 60-foot lead rope.
At the end of the year, all of the rescues that completed at least one 60-day challenge and attended one webinar applied for the Equine Excellence Award.
The application included explaining how the Forever Foundation helped Roanchar Ranch Draft Horse Rescue in terms of the horses, training, volunteers, and day-to-day operations. In addition, a video needed to be submitted highlighting the horses at the rescue and how the foundation helped them.
Roanchar Ranch Draft Horse Rescue is proud to announce that we were a top ten finalist and won a $250 clinic travel stipend for 2021.
“Roanchar Ranch has successfully incorporated the Forever Foundation into their operations and is a role model for other organizations. Their efforts not only make a difference in the lives of equines in Wyoming County, but they’re also helping thousands of horses across the country through their involvement in the program,” says Cindy Gendron of the Humane Society of the United States.
