The horses are in the care of;
 The Columbia Greene Humane Society
and SPCA; http://www.cghs.org/
Helping animals since 1955, they are a no-kill facility that receives no public support. We heartily urge you to give them support now if you are able. You can imagine the cost involved in caring for 177 severley neglected horses. I am sure anything you may be able to give, even the smallest amount, will be greatly appreciated. 

You can email them at GCHSuser001@aol.com for more information or you can make a donation through Paypal by clicking the link below;
