THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF
EQUINE SPORTS PRESERVATION PARTNERS WITH WILD FOR LIFE FOUNDATION TO
PROMOTE EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR MILITARY VETERANS AND
DISADVANTAGED YOUTH
Los Angeles, CA- The Wild
for Life Foundation (WFLF) is pleased to announce its recent partnership
with the American Association of Equine Sports Preservation (AAESP) in a
combined effort to promote horse preservation, along with
equine-assisted programs that help children with autism, military
veterans, and other victims of post-traumatic stress disorder.
"We are thrilled to partner with the AAESP, whose support has been unwavering for our lifesaving work on behalf of America's horses," said Katia Louise, Founder, President and Volunteer Executive Director, WFLF.
"We hope this partnership will continue into the future by helping to
embrace the healing hearts of horses as we strive to create a better
world for horses and people for generations to come."
The AAESP
most recently announced its support for the WFLF's expansion of its
equine assisted learning
programs in conjunction with our new Equine
Sanctuary facilities in San Diego, CA. The AAESP will help to showcase
the powerful accomplishments of the Wild For Life Foundation and its Saving America's Horses initiative, with a focus on its community
enrichment equine wellness activities and robust equine-therapy
programs for disadvantaged youth, active duty military and veterans
suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To help champion the way, the AAESP has just become a lead sponsor for WFLF's upcoming Spring Benefit Reception which will take place in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe, CA on March 29th.
"The WFLF is grateful for the AAESP's sponsorship of the WFLF's Saving America's Horses booth at the 15th Annual EAGALA conference
which took place in Mesquite, TX just last week," added Ms. Louise.
"The WFLF booth at the conference was visited by numerous conference
attendees who were able to engage and learn from our compelling
multimedia educational materials."
"There are not enough horses in the world to heal hurting humans," said Allison Booth, President and Founder, AAESP. Mrs.
Booth was saved by horses as a young girl, and now she is saving them.
Booth's mission is to "make the world a better place for horses and
their habitats - and for humans who can be helped by horses." As a
crusader for many causes, Booth has demonstrated a strong will and
fierce determination to help the creatures that have been her constant
companions: horses. Booth herself has been influenced by horses and
their mystical ability to change people's lives.
The
Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) is a 501 (c)(3) U.S. registered tax
exempt nonprofit charity. The WFLF has been at the forefront of efforts
to rescue and provide safe harbor for at risk animals, providing the
space, natural habitat and quality of care which they deserve. The WFLF'
aim is to provide charitable equine assisted learning activities
together with equine-therapy programs to aid youth and adults in
building positive life skills. The WFLF is internationally recognized as
a leader in animal welfare -- among our greatest concerns are imperiled
wild horses and burros, abused, neglected and slaughter bound wild and
domestic equines, and inadequate standards of protection for America's
equine population as a whole. The WFLF promotes the preservation of
natural ecosystems, wildlife and the prevention of cruelty to animals.
We strive to preserve and celebrate Native heritage and cultures through
embracing harmonious relationships among people, animals and nature.
The WFLF is achieving these goals through operating equine rescue,
sanctuary, education and wellness programs which provide community
enrichment through fostering symbiotic environmental stewardship and a
healing partnership with horses. www.WildforlifeFoundation.org, https://twitter.com/ savingamehorses, https://www.facebook.com/ WildforLifeFoundation, @savingamehorses #savingamehorses
