The Alberta Equestrian Federation is now accepting applications for expense relief through its Equine Emergency Disaster Fund.

The fund is designed to ensure the well-being of equines residing in Alberta during significant disasters such as floods, wildfires, pandemics, or any other situation prompting a state of emergency or evacuation.

Eligible expenses for the relief funding include temporary boarding fees, hay, water, and medical expenses directly related to the disaster.

Applications have a firm deadline of September 30.
