Stallions Gelded To Date By SGS: 168
SGS Mission Statement To end the suffering of innocent horses by reducing the
number of unwanted births.
|
| This horse represents one of thousands that are in need of rescue each year due to over breeding. |
Thousands of horses are born every year as a result of poor breeding
techniques and mismanagement of mares and stallions. As a result, equine rescue organizations across the nation have become
overwhelmed with unwanted and neglected horses. Our goal is to help control this over-population in the U.S. by reducing
the number of unwanted births. By instituting an educational program encouraging the public to geld their stallions and by
offering free gelding services to those currently using
their stallions for breeding and who could not otherwise afford the procedure, our hope is to initiate a solution to
this growing problem. (If you have a non-breeding stallion that you wish to geld, please click
on "Gelding the Non-Breeding Stallion" on the left-hand column of this page.) Stallion to Gelding Support is available
in most geographical locations to anyone who meets these criteria and
is in need of our services. It is our hope that, through these efforts, we will popularize and facilitate gelding support
throughout the country and end equine overpopulation. In fact, in the2-1/2 years that SGS has been helping to geld breeding
stallions,we have seen a tremendous growth in the use of gelding clinics across the country, and many state Horse Councils
have also gotten on board! Here's
an article from the October 2010 issue of the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association highlighting the importance
of such programs: http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/oct10/101015v.asp. In 2011, North Carolina's Horse Council
instituted a financial aid program to help geld stallions in its state: http://www.formsubmitter.com/nchc/geld-voucher-program/.
Funding for our program has become very tight; if everyone who reads this could click on the Paypal link below and make a
tax-deductible contribution, we can continue our mission to reduce the number of horses born, too many of which end up in
rescues -- or worse, much worse.
