The Kentucky Horse Council (KHC) provides a central coordination point for Kentucky equine rescue efforts to support horses affected by hurricanes, tornados, floods, fire, and other natural disasters. KHC has experience responding to equine crisis through the U.S. Disaster Relief Fund and the Save Our Horses Fund.

"Supporting the efforts of other states to address the needs of horses impacted by natural disaster is the best way we can help them recover," said Anna Zinkhon, KHC president. "By coordinating fund raising efforts within the state, we enable Kentuckians to show their concern for all horses."

The KHC has been speaking with representatives from the Alabama Horse Council (AHC) regarding the extensive tornado damage and destruction across the state. The AHC is coordinating efforts to provide feed for those horses affected by the raging storms, and they need financial assistance.

Through the U.S. Disaster Relief Fund, the KHC will purchase hay needed to care for horses that have been displaced by the storms, or whose owners are unable to care for them as a result of the storms
