Equine Protection Fund: Gelding Assistance Application

If you have any questions or difficulty with this form, please call us at (505) 803-3770 or email epf@apnm.org.

This assistance is for individuals who have difficulty paying the cost of gelding procedures.

We may be able to pay or reimburse for a portion, or the entirety of the bill, depending on the total cost and available funding. Due to limited funding, submission of this application is not a guarantee of assistance.
