The Ukraine Equestrian Federation – Charity Foundation (UEF – CF) has opened another free evacuation stables with 60 boxes this week and created an evacuation queue on their website where people who need evacuation can register.
Evacuated horses mainly go to safer areas within Ukraine as many owners do not want their horses to leave the country. The first horses from Lysychansk arrived at the evacuation stable in Mirihoshcha which is 100% funded by the donations received by UEF – CF. Feed, bedding, and free accommodation are available for the horse owners and accompanying persons. This is only possible because of the kind donations from all around the world.
The UEF – CF has also this week received trucks of supplies and feed from several countries including Belgium, and Poland, and has now supplied over 80 stables in Ukraine. There are still ongoing needs for hay and bedding (wood shavings) and basic veterinary products — you can donate or offer help here.
The Ukrainian Equestrian Federation Charity Foundation, registered in Belgium, with assistance from the FEI (International Equestrian Federation) is supporting Ukrainian horse owners, riding schools, athletes, equestrian clubs, stables, and professionals. We give counselling support and other kinds of needs-based assistance on the ground, including mapping shelter options and assisting with the relocation of horses, gathering offers for goods and organising logistics to deliver goods to equestrians and their horses both in Ukraine and/or in their temporary locations in Europe. We monitor the situation with horses´ welfare and collaborate with FEI, the EEF, and many National Equestrian Federations.
Our promise is that as many funds as possible will be used as direct help for Ukrainian equestrians and their horses in Ukraine (by distributing feed, helping with evacuations and information).
