National Animal Cruelty Class Learns From Panhandle Equine Rescue
July 23, 2015
Animal cruelty investigators from across the U.S. and Dominican Republic attended an Advanced Investigators Class this week at Panhandle Equine Rescue in Cantonment.
PER hosted the National Animal Cruelty Investigations School from the University of Missouri as they conducted classes for animal control, law enforcement and other agencies. The students were able to get hands-on experience with PER’s horses, learning how to catch, halter, body score and other techniques. The class was led by Christy Fischer of the Sedgwick County (KS) Sheriffs Department.
The only horse rescue in Escambia County, Panhandle Equine Rescue was founded by a small group of concerned citizens with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate and provide adoption services for abused, neglected and abandoned equines. PER is authorized by the court system to investigate equine cruelty in Escambia County.

Diane is always at the forefront of finding new ways to teach more and more people how to care for horses and other equines and how to know the dangers equines face in America today. An excellent equine rescue…all it needs to keep doing its excellent work is funding and cooperation of the community. Bravo, Diane.
Wow ! This is huge. The nation is looking at PER as a very credible horse rescue who has been a rescue for 10 years now. Helping other agencies learn about horse cruelty is very commendable. Keep up the good work PER !
The Equine Rescue is fantastic. They do so very much and depend on donations , etc. to do all that they do to help these animals. I am happy to see them get some recognition!
