Justify Halter The Centerpiece Of Kentucky Horse Council’s Online Fundraising Auction

The Kentucky Horse Council (KHC) has launched an online auction to raise needed funds for the 501c3 nonprofit.

All funds raised from the online auction will go directly toward funding key welfare initiatives to keep Kentucky horses safe; supporting horse owners in need of temporary financial reprieve of horse-care costs; and awarding scholarships to Kentucky students with an equine-industry focus.
