Help Us Rebuild

Saturday April 3, 2021 Equine Rescue of Aiken suffered a severe loss. The heart of our rescue caught fire and all that is left is remnants of what used to be our beloved barn. Saturday evening our farm staff finished feeding and had left for the day 15 minutes before a large explosion was heard. Board member Debbie Rhodes heard the explosion and ran to the barn. We had Whistle in a stall being medically treated for a severe wound on his muzzle. Debbie was able to get Whistle out of the barn, but he still sustained heat burns to his back. Whistle is currently at Performance Equine Vets being treated for his injuries. 

The barn is a total loss. We lost the barn and everything in the barn. The barn was the hub for our operation housing our office, medical supplies, records, tack and feed for our 60+ horses. We are remaining in good spirits, but this is a huge loss for Equine Rescue of Aiken and the Aiken Community.

We have had a large response to material supplies and at this time we could really use financial support to help us rebuild. Unfortunately our barn was under-insured as we felt is was a very safe barn and we didn't want to over extend donor money. 

Any and all help at this time are so greatly appreciated; 

The rescue will be open to receive items Monday-Saturday 9-1pm, otherwise can be left inside our gate.
