Children's
Adventure Book Benefits HPS
Animal rights activist and author, Susie Lurz has written a series
of children's action/adventure books to raise awareness and funds for HPS. Inspired by Shiloh, one of her rescue
horses that HPS helped her with, this is the magical story of a young boy who wishes to become a veterinarian and learns that
he has the ability to not only talk to animals but also to turn into them as well!
Sweetwater Animal Hospital
and the Hidden Mountain will be available in hardcover on July 23, 2010 for $16.99. You can take advantage of a
pre-publication promotion and receive an autographed copy of the book for $14.99 until July 22, 2010, and $2 of
each pre-publication book will be donated to HPS.
Just go to the following link:

 Riding
& Training Participants Needed!
The purpose of the HPS riding & training
program is to get the horses back into condition before going to new homes, to give them any additional training they may
need, to help them overcome their fears of being ridden, and to learn about the horses' abilities & personalities
so they can be matched with an appropriate home.
If you would like to help, participants must have a willing attitude
and good riding skills. 14 volunteer hours per month to the care of the horses is required in addition to training/rehabilitation/exercising
duties. Participants will work with a professional trainer to rehabilitate/train/exercise horses that are ready to be
placed into homes.
Program meets on Saturdays from 10am - 2pm. For further details, please contact the sanctuary
at hps@horseprotection.org.

Gelding Program Making a Difference
In 2009, we
at HPS opened a new door to solving the problem of unwanted, abused and neglected horses in the United States.
The program, Stallion to Gelding Support (SGS), targets the gelding of stallions in breeding programs in order to reduce
the number of unwanted births. Response has been overwhelming! SGS has gelded 118 stallions from March 2009 - May
2010 thus preventing the birth of 455 offspring. SGS success has prompted other organizations to begin their own
gelding programs, and has encouraged at least one foundation to fund gelding in addition to spay-neuter services.
Please visit the Stallion to Gelding Support website to
learn more about the SGS and the by clicking on the link:
