Foundation Information

Animal Contributions

Horses donated to the Fischer Equine Lameness Foundation will promote the activities of the foundation through leasing, sales and horse showing. The owner that donates their animal will receive a tax deduction. The former owner of the donated horse is welcome to come anytime to observe the progression of the rehabilitation process of the horse. They may also choose to purchase the horse back after rehabilitation.

There are several positive effects of a horse that is donated to the Fischer Equine Lameness Foundation. The horse benefits by being relieved of its discomfort as it is returned to soundness. In many cases life expectancy is increased.

Amateur riders benefit by the opportunity to enjoy companionship and competition with the rehabilitated horse.

Children that are not able to afford a horse may have exposure to the rehabilitated horses through lessons or leasing.

Finally, the scientific community benefits by the information gained through public presentations in the form of lectures and publications presented by the Fischer Equine Lameness Foundation as it reports its work. Please see us at the World Hoof Conference in Fall of 2006, we will be presenting “Bone Remodeling of the Equine Distal Limb”.
