Equine Supply Depots in Mississippi Now Operational

Mississippi horse owners affected by Hurricane Katrina now have a new lifeline to help through the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). As of today, USEF has a dedicated phone line to take emergency calls from Mississippians in need of emergency assistance for their horses.  

The USEF Mississippi Emergency Hotline number is 859/225-2051, and will be operational daily from 8:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. EST, until the need has subsided. This emergency hotline number will be for emergency calls regarding needs for horses only. Operators will not be able to assist others inquiring about volunteer or donation opportunities. Please understand that it is essential to keep this line free so those needing help will be able to get through. Information gathered from the calls will be forwarded to various rescue and assistance organizations now in place in Southern Mississippi.

For equine-related emergencies in the Louisiana area, please contact the LSU Vet School Hotline at 225/578-9501
