Equine
Outreach is a non-profit horse rescue organization located in Bend, Oregon.
Equine Outreach facilitates the rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, and
permanent placement of abused, neglected and unwanted horses in Deschutes County and throughout central Oregon.
Their goal is to promote equine awareness and to foster community
compassion for responsible horse guardianship. Equine
Outreach was founded by Joan Steelhammer based on her
life-long passion for animals. For over 30 years she has been
involved in animal rescue and her commitment has resulted in the
formation of this organization dedicated to assisting horses in
need. The goal is to assist local law enforcement agencies, humane
societies and individuals in the emergency placement of animals
in distress. During a rescue they work side by side with the Sheriff
Offices, Forest Service & BLM to ensure that the horses are
rescued safely. |
