SAVE THE DATE FOR THE NATIONAL RESCUE RIDE 2009

SAVE THE DATE FOR THE US EQUINE RESCUE LEAGUE (USERL) – CENTRAL PIEDMONT NATIONAL RESCUE RIDE 2009


On October 3, 2009, thousands of horse lovers across the nation will pull on their boots or lace up their sneakers to ride or walk to raise funds for the horse related charity of their choice. Similar to a walkathon the National Rescue Ride (NRR) will bring together thousands of people across the country to demonstrate that abuse, neglect and shipping of horses across the border for slaughter is unacceptable. It is the nation’s biggest effort once again to help horses.

Riders and walkers wishing to participate to support USERL at Smith Lake Farms, Smith Lake Road, Mount Pleasant will be able to register starting in July by going to the NRR website to find a charity and sign up. Among other prizes to be awarded, this year’s top national prizes will be two separate $500 cash gifts for the riders/walkers raising the most funds, and five $100 prizes awarded randomly to those who raise $100 or more for their charity.

So “Save The Date” Saturday, October 3, 2009, whether in the saddle or in your sneakers, join us to help America’s abused, neglected and unwanted horses by being a part of this great national effort at the National Rescue Ride!

For more information, visit the website at www.nationalrescueride.org or email nationalrescueride@yahoo.com, or contact USERL Central Piedmont dbcarl@bellsouth.net or 704-531-4877. And please, Adopt a horse.
