Unwanted Horse Coaltion - Help Spread
the Word
Horse Council
9/10/2009 |
The
Unwanted Horse Coalition needs your help in continuing
to spread the word about the problem of unwanted horses
and owner responsibility. The UHC’s recently-released
2009 Unwanted Horses Survey, which can be downloaded
from the UHC website at http://www.unwantedhorsecoalition.org found that the overwhelming
majority of those who took the survey perceived the
problem of unwanted horses to be growing and that there
is a continuing need for more owner education.
You
can help meet that goal. The UHC has available free
educational materials, a website, public service ads,
and a message – “Own Responsibly.” But
we need your help to disseminate these materials.
|
Please
help the UHC by taking the following actions:
- Passing
out the UHC materials at your member events, annual
conferences and other relevant places. The materials
include the UHC Unwanted Horses brochure, the Own
Responsibly flyer, as well as a 30 page handbook on
“Owning Responsibly.” The UHC can provide
these materials for you or you may download them from
the UHC website at: www.unwantedhorsecoalition.org
- ·
Adding the www.unwantedhorsecoalition.org link to your site along with
our logo and/or banner. We have both a banner and
a logo to provide you with.
- ·
Help us to pass along these actions to your organization’s
members and encourage them to contact the UHC to ask
how they can help spread the UHC to spread the word
on “Owning Responsibly.”
We
ask that your organization designate a person to be
a liaison to the UHC to help “Spread the Word”
about the problem of the unwanted horse and the efforts
of the UHC. Please let us know who that person is, so
we can include them in our email distribution list for
information.
For
all information and responses to this memo, please contact
UHC Director, Ericka Caslin, ecaslin@horsecouncil.org

Subject: Bookkeepers change
To: Charles Town HBPA

For your information, we have made a change to the
manner in which purses are distributed. This change
will leave owners in a better position than the previous
method did.
Starting with races on February 11th, only the net
amount paid to owners will be held until purse money
is released, as opposed to the gross amount. For example,
under the old method, if an owner won a race where
their share was $10,000, the entire $10,000 would
be held, but the $1,000 would automatically have been
paid to the jockey. That $1,000 would have to be paid
out of the owner's previous winnings and only recouped
after the purse money was released. It would leave
the owner's account short money until the purse was
ultimately released.
Under the new method, an owner winning $10,000 will
only have $9,000 of this held for him. The jock will
still be paid the $1,000, but the owner will not have
to front this money out of previous winnings. Once
the purse is released, the owner would have the $9,000
credited to their account. Not fronting the money
out of prior earnings effectively gives the owner
free use of that $1,000 between the time the race
is run and the time the purse is released.
We felt this was much fairer to the horsemen and paid
InCompass the programming fees to get this changed.
