Here’s the original press release below:

The Horse Radio Network (HRN) has announced the creation of Horse World Gives Back, a charitable initiative aimed at uniting the horse world in a fundraising drive that will benefit horses and horse owners affected by the recent flooding and tornadoes across the United States.

The network will host a three-hour live broadcast on June 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. EDT as a fundraising effort called the Horse World Gives Back Radiothon followed by a Horse World Gives Back Retail Day on June 7. Participating retailers will give back 5% of the day’s sales to the charities that will direct the funds toward helping horse owners across the country affected by the devastating weather damage.

This relief aid is being channeled through the Kentucky Horse Council’s Equine Disaster Relief Fund and the Red Cross. HRN and its media partners are reaching out to equestrian and equine-related organizations to become involved and unite the horse world in this nationwide effort.

Read inspiring true stories of ex-racehorses that successfully transitioned from track to new careers when re-trained in Second-Chance Horses and the difference they made in the lives of people around them.

Network hosts Glenn, Jamie, and Chris will be hosting the live broadcast on June 6 from the Red Cross headquarters in Lexington, Ky., which can be heard on the Horse World Gives Back website and its affiliate partners listed on the website. Guests will include horse people affected by the devastating weather, Red Cross representatives, prominent riders, and members of the horse community.
