Tornado Causes Damage at Churchill Downs The National Weather Service confirmed that it was, in fact, a tornado that hit the Churchill Downs stable area on Wednesday night; the aftermath left 6 ½ barns uninhabitable, displacing horses and frazzling nerves but injuring neither human nor equine. “That to us is miraculous when you see the damage… Continue Reading.
GAO Report on Horse Processing Released The demise of the horse processing industry in the U.S. has not prevented horses from being sold for slaughter and has contributed to a rise in equine neglect and abuse incidents, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report issued Wednesday (June 22).

Lexington, KY, June 9, 2011 -The Kentucky Horse Council’s (KHC) US Disaster Relief Fund, which provides a central coordination point for Kentucky’s efforts to support horses affected by natural disasters, was chosen as the recipient of Horse Radio Network’s (HRN) “Horse World Gives Back” program.
Horse World Gives Back is a nationwide charitable initiative aimed at uniting the horse community in a fund raising drive to benefit horses and horse owners affected by the recent flooding and tornadoes across the United States.
HRN hosted a 3 hour LIVE broadcast on June 6, 2011 called the Horse World Gives Back Radiothon, followed by a Horse World Gives Back Retail Day on June 7, 2011. Participating retailers gave back 5% of the day’s sales to KHC’s US Disaster Relief Fund and the American Red Cross.
Through the radiothon and retail day, KHC raised money to supplement its US Disaster Relief Fund. The US Disaster Relief Fund provides feed and temporary housing for horses across the country displaced by weather and other natural disasters.
What’s with this weather? Oh my… we had a huge storm last night. The barn was flooded with water and our road got washed away. It was a loud and scary storm! Thankfully no one here was hurt.
After the storm I watched my two-legged friends examine the damage, and was struck by how well they were dealing with the emergency. Rather than getting upset or lamenting the losses, they moved forward and made a plan. They called for a tractor, ordered some gravel to fill in the washout in the road, and got out the shovels. I heard them say that this same storm system had spawned killer tornadoes all across the country, so this was nothing in comparison. While they were cleaning up the mess they talked about how grateful they were to be spared that kind of damage. They even stopped at one point and offered silent prayers and positive energy to those who were hurt or killed, and those who lost their homes.
Life is hazardous. There’s just no denying it. Bad things happen. Sometimes loved ones are taken from us way too early. Sometimes property is lost or destroyed. That just the way it is. Loss needs to be felt. Grief must be acknowledged and fully experienced. Denying it just postpones it.
Horse World Gives Back to Stage HRN Radiothon and Retail Day on June 6-7, 2011
Lexington, Kentucky, USA. May 30, 2011
The Horse Radio Network (HRN) has announced the creation of Horse World Gives Back, a charitable initiative aimed at uniting the horse world in a fund raising drive that will benefit horses and horse owners affected by the recent flooding and tornadoes across the United States.
HRN will host a 3 hour LIVE broadcast on June 6, 2011, 6-9 pm Eastern as a fund raising effort called the Horse World Gives Back Radiothon followed by a Horse World Gives Back Retail Day on June 7, 2011. Participating retailers will give back 5% of the day’s sales to the charities that will direct the funds towards helping horse owners across the country whose horses have been affected by the devastating weather damage.
This relief aid is being channeled through the Kentucky Horse Council’s Equine Disaster Relief Fund and the Red Cross. HRN and its media partners are reaching out to equestrian and equine related organizations to become involved and unite the horse world in this nationwide effort.
The WHIA is collecting supplies and cash for equine businesses in Japan following the massive earthquake. We are working with the U.S. state department and Japanese associations. Details will follow soon!
Executive Director Catherine Masters lived in Japan for five years and her heart is broken by the horrible natural disaster in Japan. She is asking all of the WHIA members to help her raise money and supplies for the victims and the horses.
As soon as we are confident that our money and supplies will get to the proper authorities, we will contact you again. As you know, the breeders, the riding clubs and the horse owners will need everything. CASH is probably the best thing we can send. Due to massive destruction it may take us a little while to get the proper channels working with us.
Thanks for helping us ahead of time!

Putnam Honors 75th Anniversary of Florida state forest system and announces Prescribed Fire Awareness Week
TALLAHASSEE — At today’s meeting of the Governor and the Cabinet, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam introduced a resolution in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Florida state forest system. Beginning this month and throughout the year, the Division of Forestry at the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will hold numerous special events in state forests to commemorate this milestone in Florida’s overall public land management program.
“For 75 years, Florida’s Division of Forestry has worked diligently to protect the forests of Florida from the dangers of wildland fire and to ensure our forests will be preserved for generations to come,” Commissioner Putnam said. “The Division of Forestry also plays an important role in educating the public of the value of Florida’s state forests and the steps we must take to preserve this natural resource.
In 1936, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Division of Forestry began managing state lands with the establishment of Pine Log State Forest near Panama City. Today, more than 1,250 dedicated employees across the state work together to manage 35 state forests, encompassing more than one million acres.
