I am loving a new facebook page that is all about horse people helping horse people in an emergency...
I have signed up for NC, and will make my place available to anyone in need during fire, storm (hurricanes) or other natural disasters.
I have also learned MUCH from this page and added a few things to my emergency list, such as paint! yep a spray can or FLORESCENT paint. While I use rope halters ONLY leather is good in a fire/ emergency as it will not melt into your horse as nylon will, cotton will go up in flames as well!
copied and pasted...WHEN marking horses for identification - don't use anythign plastic, nylon, or metal. Plastic and Nylon melt and burn. Metal will get hot and burn. Spray paint livestock using livestock marking paints- phone number and last name on both sides of each animal. Large enough to be read from a distance.
re- typed due to copy issues.
