Vet Direct Safety: Assisting Horse Owners with up to $500 for Emergency Vet Bills
The Vet Direct Program is designed to assist horse owners with short-term financial need pay for emergency equine welfare issues such as:

- Stitches or staples
- Wound management
- Choke
- Eye issues
- Neurologic impairment
- Diagnosis of endocrine issues
- Euthanasia and disposal, if recovery is unlikely
