Do you know a horse who could use a little help? Since 2010, we have given assistance to over 5,000 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 by calling 505-803-3770 or emailing us at epf@apnm.org for help. Assistance through this program is only available for horses, donkeys, and mules.
We launched the Equine Protection Fund Endowment in partnership with New Mexico Foundation in 2014. Earnings from this permanent endowment will ensure that lifesaving direct services and all-important equine policies can be sustained into the future. Please contact us to learn more or visit New Mexico Foundation to provide support for this endowment.
