Hurricane Daufuskie Horse Relief

UPDATE PLEASE HELP:  This is a bridgeless island that only has access for supplies by barge.  It's a 3 hour barge trip for supplies, which are very low priority.  Please help any way you can.  These people have not even been able to reach their homes yet. And are doing everything they can to ensure the safety of this rare breed of horses. Yes!!  Thank god the horses are ok.  They just need some care and facilities repair. 

The Daufuskie Marsh Tacky Society is devastated by Hurricane Matthew and these historic horses need desperate, immediate help.  This organization resides on Daufuskie Island, SC which has been destroyed by the hurricane.  It is an IRS recognized 501C3 charitable organization. 
As a result of the storm, the main barn which houses these rare horses has been damaged by fallen trees.  The horses have all survived, but no longer have a home.   They are currently being housed in a field which is offsite from their facility but still on the island.  There is no electricity on the island and probably will not be restored for weeks.  They are in need of a horse trailer. Trees are down everywhere throughout their pastures.  Clean water is a necessity for the horses.  Erica and Tony are on the Island with the horses doing their best to care for them and clean up damage. 
If everyone reading this can please donate what you can, it will help this historic breed of horses continue to reach their goals.  Please read the link below about the Daufuskie Marsh Tacky Society.  The Marsh Tacky horse has historical roots to this Island and we need to keep this indigenous breed striving.

This is just one photo that I have been able to recieve.  Cell phone service is limited on Daufuskie Island and phone batteries need to be saved.


I have created this page at the request of Erica, the founder and Executive Director of the Daufuskie Marsh Tacky Society.  All funds will be used for the horses and their care.
