Who's Who in Equine Compassion: A Compendium of People and Places Who say They Care

A llisting of people, places and organizations that are self described as or focus on advocacy issues surrounding equines, rescue groups or other horse, pony, mini, mule, burro and donkey advocates. With an online persona named "Merry Horses", the Editor of this professionally designed compendium brings together people and organizations throughout the United States and beyond; all involved in horse rescue or advocacy of one kind or another. Divided into geographical regions (by state, country or region) the listings include name and contact info (as provided) as well as quotes and other salient information when included. As a first in what is slated to become an annual series, this volume has been designed to inspire those who read it to become involved in whatever aspect of equine stewardship they like and make it easy for them to do so. Also included are a scholarly discussion by writer Mary McDaniels on the controversial issues surrounding equine slaughter along with suggestions for solutions as well as original content contributed by several other authors involved in diverse aspects of equine stewardship. People and organizations are invited to include themselves in future volumes. Updates on how to do this are available at www.merryhorses.com the equine advocacy blog for the project.
