Do you know a horse who could use a little help? Since 2010, we have given assistance to over 1,000 equines all across New Mexico, thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and supporters, and to the families and agencies who partnered with us to help equines in need.
See the short descriptions below or contact us for help.

Emergency Feed Assistance Application
If you have any questions or difficulty with this form, please call us at 505-803-3770 or email epf@apnm.org
Due to limited funds, we cannot provide an unlimited supply of feed for equines. This assistance is reserved for individuals who are not breeding or racing equines at this time. If you have a colt or stallion, we will ask you about plans for gelding/castration, and may be able to help with the cost of this procedure if cost is a barrier. One application per household permitted.
