At Omni Equus Research Center,
we believe there is something that can be done...
There are so many horses in need of rescue and rehabilitation every year. Too many simply do not find homes and it has been well documented that over 80,000 horses are euthanized or sold for slaughter monthly.
We at Omni Equus Research Center (O.E.R.C.) believe that more can be done to reverse these horrifying statistics than simple horse rescue and adoption. Our mission and commitment is to research and inform the horse community of alternative, more effective methods of training and rehabilitation that will not only provide more injured horses a second chance in life, but also prepare young horses’ bodies for a solid, sound, long-term life of work and service.
O.E.R.C believes that educating owners, trainers, riders and grooms on how the equine body functions, and applying that knowledge on a day-to-day basis to the horses they own and work with can lessen and prevent many crippling injuries that often sabotage, curtail or prematurely terminate a horse’s career and lifespan.
One of the harsh realities of life is that horses, one of God’s most beautiful and graceful creations, cannot choose or control their own destiny. Everyday, young and old horses which, because of age and/or injury, can no longer fulfill their owner’s performance or role requirements, face an often painful and undignified end to a hardworking career in the service of sport and entertainment.
