Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Taking care of a horse requires that the owner educate themselves on all aspects of animal well-being, including proper housing, nutrition, disease prevention and treatment, appropriate handling and, when necessary, humane euthanasia is required for responsible care. The issue is that many new horse owners do not have adequate knowledge of the proper care and this leaves horses at risk for malnutrition, neglect and abuse. Southern Redhead Farms Rescue will work with local organizations to identify horse owners to provide owner education or referrals to the correct source for assistance they may require.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
EIE (Education, Intervention and Euthanasia) on Horses
The goal of this program is to educate all people about the appropriate care and treatment of horses and other equines to make sure that horses can stay in forever homes without fear of mistreatment and maltreatment. The program will also help individuals monetarily to euthanize elderly or sick equine instead of allowing the equine to suffer.
SRFR Empower with Horsepower
SRFR Empower with Horsepower inspires underserved girls facing the challenges of adolescence in high-risk environments. Teens develop self-esteem, teamwork, responsibility, and leadership skills principally through learning to ride and care for horses.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to work with local institutions (livestock deputies, feed stores, veterinary offices) to identify those horse owners that are struggling with the proper care of their horse. The rescue will evaluate the horses' environment, target the issue and determine if education, intervention or euthanasia are appropriate. The ultimate goal is to be able to keep the horse with their owner by making sure the owners are properly trained on equine care. If this cannot be accomplished, the rescue will work with the owner on appropriate placement.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. Meet with livestock deputies from the 4 counties in the North central FL area to determine need and how to identify those that require education and those that require some sort of intervention.
2. For horses that are ill or require humane euthanasia, the rescue will work with local veterinary offices and companies that will bury or dispose of the body.
3. Partner with local 4-H clubs to provide responsible horse ownership education.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
There are 4 people within the rescue that are eligible to educate potential horse owners. As requests are received, 1 member will be assigned, on a rotating basis, as point for that case and that individual will follow the case to its conclusion.
If other interventions are required, we will work with local organizations to provide as much assistance as possible.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
1. Preliminary meetings with livestock deputies to gauge need.
2. Preliminary meetings with local veterinary clinics placed on hold due to pandemic. Will schedule again once safe.
3. Schedule meeting with local high school 4-H leader placed on hold due to pandemic. Will schedule again once safe.
