Readers Respond: Donations To Fund Lift For Rescue Horses
March 18, 2014
Late last week, NorthEscambia.com reported on a fundraising effort by Panhandle Equine Rescue to purchase a large animal lift for rescued horses.
The lift is priced was at $2,145 and PER lacked $980 to make the purchase. After the report about the online fundraiser, another $1,450 was donated. That will allow PER to purchase the lift and a secure structure to which the lift will be attached.
“Because of…our community, we were able to raise more than enough to help horses in the future that are unable to rise on their own,” said PER President Diane Lowery. “Getting a horse on their feet gives them a chance to live; otherwise, they would most likely be euthanized; especially at crime scenes. We appreciate your support.”
The major need for a large animal lift was highlighted by the rescue of “Ebony” from Crowndale Court. For that story, click here.

I never knew how expensive horses are or the fact that my ex-wife loved them until after we were married.
I think that this is a good effort for a great cause. I own no horses, but feel that they are wonderful animals and will be sure to drop a little money in your jar, when I see it at the check out line.
Great news! My two youngest daughters donated their birthday money to PER last month. They are always interested in hearing and seeing the news of PER and what’s going on up there.
That is wonderful news. Thank goodness for caring people stepping up to take care of innocent animals that have been mistreaded by dead-beat people.
Excellent news!
Great news! Thank you everyone for helping a great organization that does so much to help!
Yay! Great news!
