Preventing cruelty to horses P. O. Box 24834 Lexington KY 40524 |
The Equine Transitional Training Alliance, Inc. is a 501(c)3 corporation organized in Kentucky for the purpose of preventing cruelty to horses. Nothing existed in this area for rehabilitating and rescuing horses until ETTA was founded in 1995 by Keri Basham, as a student at the University of Kentucky.
Our program consists of:
1) An all-breed racehorse "recycling" program
2) A training/retraining program for problem horses and unbroke horses
3) An adoption facility, where quiet, safe horses of all breeds are available for reasonable adoption fees
4) A facility for Kentucky Humane Societies and Animal Control departments to put seized horses if they don't have a facility of their own.
ETTA is a tax-exempt public charity that is currently renting a 60+ acre farm in Midway, Kentucky.
ETTA accepts donations of horses that are not useful to their current owners. Keri retrains the horses or rehabilitates them if injured. ETTA then adopts the horses into new homes for a fee, and uses that money to run the organization and to purchase horses that would otherwise be slaughtered.
