Cow's cause is named for Scout aka "Cow" the inspiration behind the Equine Cancer Society. Fighting cancer is not only emotionally overwhelming, but it is financially as well. ECS has decided to start a program to help ease some of the financial burden to the horse owners during these hard times. Each year ECS picks a recipient of Cow's Cause. The chosen horse will receive funds from special auctions and fundraisers to cover medical expenses. The chosen equine also will be featured in our calendar, receive an Equine Sunvisor with their name embroidered on it, and a year's supply of Hayfers Horse Treats. We will be updating everyone on the horse's recovery and status on our Facebook page as well as auctions and fundraisers.To donate to Cow's Cause just click the "Donate" button below!
Meet Rio Our 2016 Recipient
Meet Cinniman our 2015 Recipient!
Cinniman was purchased by her owner Courtney in 2003. At the time Cinniman was a young 11 months and Courtney, just 12 years old. Courtney had saved all of her birthday and Christmas money to buy Cinniman, her first horse. Not knowing anything about horses, she took this scared filly straight from the pasture and turned her into a collegiate state title winner. Cinniman was diagnosed with periocular cancer on her left eye. WE are honored to help her fight her battle.
