Registration Papers - Horses that are acquired by fundraising that have registration papers procedure is that the registration papers are held in the office of AC4H permanently or until such time as it is determined by AC4H to release. You can apply to receive the registration papers after the horse is in your care for one (1) year. The reason this is done is to make sure that the home is secure and the horse not transferred or sold without consent, this is simply extra protection for the horse when someone is getting the horse. This does not apply if the horse is paid for/direct bailed. If a horse is direct bailed the registration papers are sent to the new owner in the method requested and paid for by the new owner. It takes about 30 days from the time the horse is listed until papers are sent/received.
Vetting - The coggins test is drawn on Monday the vet is there in the am and the vetting work is back by around 3 pm the same day. Health Certificates - if a horse is at the lot or in layover/quarantine for two weeks the horse qualifies to be seen by the vet for a health certificate by the vet that does the coggins tests the layover facilities utilize a different vet who doesn't have this policy so a health certificate may be available sooner through them. However, the horse still must pass the criteria to have a health certificate issued. A health certificate is not a guarantee that the horse will not get sick only that the horse had no signs of communicable illness at the time it was seen for the health certificate to be issued. Quarantine is recommended for a minimum of two (2) week recommended thirty (30) days. We recommend that you speak with your vet to discuss quarantine and what is legally required for your State.
Traditional Rescue - Another Chance 4 Horses, Inc. has been a 501c(3) non profit charity since 2003. Prior to becoming a 501c(3) charity we were a private rescue for five years who paid for all expenses out of our own pocket. We are an all breed rescue organization. The horses in our care are available to be seen by appointment. Horses in our care http://www.ac4h.com/AC4Havailrescuehorses.htm . Directions - http://www.ac4h.com/VolunteerDirectory.htm When you save a life this way you actually save two the one you take with you and the one you make room for. This is a great way to help a horse that is quarantined, evaluated multiple times and you can come see them in person and interact with them. We hold appointments on Saturdays from 12 - 3 pm est please email us to schedule your visit.
Ownership Assistance Placement. We offer owners a way to place their horses by listing them on our high traffic website and international network. This is a preventative program to assist in keeping horses out of the auction/slaughter circuit. Assisting owners in placing their horses allows the owners to be involved in the process and provides less stress to the horse by moving from current home into the new home without taking the horse into the traditional rescue. We advise owners to use a written contract, check references and do a home check. We offer the use of our placement forms edited to remove our information replacing it with your own information. With this program we can always assist a horse in need without having to have an opening at the rescue for the horse and keeping openings for the most urgent needs. Information provided is from the owner, we cannot guarantee accuracy of the information.
