and Louisiana State Universities. These scholarships provide
monies to students to travel or fund expenses while gaining
experience in any equine related experience.
Unfortunately this year, the Texas Panhandle suffered its share
of disasters. There were tornados in Matador in June 2023. We
partnered with AAEPF and the veterinarians at 6666 Ranches
and Brock Veterinary Clinic to care for horses who were badly
injured in the tornados. In late winter of the year, a string of
massive wildfires tore through the panhandle region terrorizing
all who came in contact. Through our network of veterinarians,
industry partners and AAEP's Foundation for the Horse, TEF
was able to swiftly step in to offer relief. Through the course
of the fires, we worked to send over 400 tons of alfalfa and
grass hay, $15,000 in veterinary supplies and helped care for 4
horses who sustained major injuries in the fires. We are proud
to be able to mobilize swiftly and efficiently to provide aid to our
colleagues when disaster strikes.
We are looking forward to what next year will bring as we
continue to serve our mission of creating a legacy of equine
welfare, crisis relief and outreach. Join us in making an even
larger impact in 2025!
