LAST CHANCE
The Unwanted Horse Coalition’s National survey to assess the magnitude of the problem of the unwanted horse will remain open until the end of January 2009. This is your final chance to participate. Please pass this information along to anyone who might be interested. We want to give everyone a chance to participate.
The Study on Contributing Factors Surrounding the Unwanted Horse Issue will be instrumental in filling factual gaps with actual data. We still need as many people as possible to fill-out the 15-20 minute online survey.
Again, the UHC is asking everyone with an interest in the welfare of horses to take this online survey at http://survey.ictgroup.com/uhcsurvey/.
Please help us get this message out to the horse community. Time is limited.
Unwanted Horse Coalition Study
The Georgia Horse Council was requested via email to post this survey. If you are interested in submitting your support or non-support of unwanted and abandoned horses in the United States, please fill out the survey. This survey was sent to us by Stephens and Associates who are doing the survey.
DEAR EQUINE OWNER
As a leading medium for the equine industry, you are likely aware of the problem of thousands of unwanted and abandoned horses in the United States. Some say the problem is an epidemic, however, much remains unknown. The first step toward a solution is to gather and examine the facts.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. The Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC) is launching a nationwide survey of the problem and we’re asking for participation from horse owners, equine associations, veterinarians, breeders, state and local law enforcement, and rescue groups. Our goal is to hear from everyone interested in the welfare of horses.
WHAT YOU CAN DO PERSONALLY. Please take the UHC national online survey by going online at http://survey.ictgroup.com/uhcsurvey/. Your answers will be confidential.
Sincerely,
Cathy McCormick

Square loads delivered in a 53' box trailer, aprx 600 bales per load.
Rounds delivered on a 43' flat bed, 34 bales per load.
Prices will vary depending on delivery distance (unfortunately.) The timothy /orchard mix arriving here in Savannah tomorrow will be $7 per bale, bales weigh aprx 50#. (There will be 674 bales on this load.)
My contact information: phone: 912-330-8856 email: swequine@yahoo.com
To place an order, I will just need a zip code for delivery, type of hay, and quantity needed. I can give the price after that info is obtained.
Our goal with this is NOT to make a quick buck off the horse owners here- it is to provide quality hay for these horses, and PREVENT as many as we can from going hungry. Our prices will remain as low as we can possibly make them to get this hay here, in hopes to encourage folks to buy a bit here and a bit there, to store for this winter/ spring 2008. The recent events that had hay prices up over $10 per bale made us sick- and we decided to try and do SOMETHING to help out as much as we could. I hate to say it, but by this winter if not a bit sooner, horse owners are looking at being right back in the same boat as this spring- with incredible hay prices, and ANY hay about as scarce as hens teeth.
IF anyone has any questions, please feel free to give me a call or drop an email. I will be MORE than happy to do what I can to help out on this end!
