Urgent call to AHA members!

The Arabian Horse Association Mission Supporters (AHAMS) needs AHA members to contact their club delegates in efforts to support a resolution to rescind last year’s motion by the AHA endorsing the reopening of United States slaughter facilities.  The resolution will be presented next month at AHA’s convention in Orlando, FL (November 17-21.)

The endorsement of equine slaughter says that we have little regard for the animals that we chose to bring into this world, and for the ancient breed that we treasure.
Send the positive message that our horses have individual worth and value. Send the positive message that this Association exists to find innovative ways to encourage responsible breeding where every foal is valued, and to lead the way in the industry by continuing to provide programs and services that promote and encourage ownership and the long-term enjoyment of our horses.” – AHAMS

The Fawor Foundation has been a second chance (and in many cases, a last chance) for discarded Arabians; from the track, show ring, or loving home due to the poor economy. The Fawor Foundation gives these horses time to recover mentally, veterinary care to mend their broken down bodies, and a second chance at life, and sometimes just a comfy retirement.

Resolute Bey, ‘Rezzy’ with a bump on his fetlock, severly matted mane and tail, and a weary look in his sensitive eyes would have been passed over by many possible homes, not at the Fawor Foundation. We have given Rez a chance, a chance that comes along few and far between for ex-race horses with old injuries.

Please think of the Fawor Foundation for your next competition or pleasure horse. The Fawor Foundation has many sound, beautiful, well trained Arabians that just need someone special to take a chance on them.

Second Career Star! Russian Roulett+

The Fawor Foundation loves to hear about second career Arabians! Arabians are widely accepted as one of the most versatile horse breeds, competing and winning in almost every equestrian sport!




Russian Roulett is a trail horse that started his second career at age 17!

(Not only do we love second career Arabs, we celebrate our seniors!)

As the oldest rookie in his class, and only Arabian, Russian Roulett went on to win 16 championships, 2 reserve championships and 3 Event Derby wins! (and that was only the beginning of his Jumping career!)

To learn more about Russian Roulett click here.

Think of the Fawor Foundation for your next Second Career Star! Many of our horses are off the race track, out of the show ring, or have been pleasure trail horses.

Hydrotherapy!

Equine Hydrotherapy is going to be one of the many services offered at the future Equine Wellness Center.




The Equine Cold Water Therapy machine can aid in the rehabilitation and healing of the following issues:

• Post Surgical issues
• Advanced healing for open wound trauma
• Joint damage and or disease
• Navicular Syndrome
• Tendonitis
• Hoof Injuries
• Sore Shins
• Laminitis

Therapeutic Advantage has case studies for the following conditions including ultrasounds:





Cold hosing can usually cool the skin, but may not be cold enough to actually cool the injury. Any leg injury/ condition involving inflammation can be helped with the Hydrotherapy machine. In addition to the temperature, salt concentration, depth of water, and aeration are rehabilitative for many conditions.

Building the Equine Wellness Center is the ultimate goal for The Fawor Foundation. We hope to promote not only, second careers for wonderful Arabian Horses, but Equine Wellness for horses of all breeds and disciplines. The Equine Wellness Center will be the premier location for healing and rehabilitation for horses all around Colorado.
