October 2026 | EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN 56 VIRGINIA HORSE CENTER’S FALL EVENTING October 29-30, 2026 VAHorseCenter.org TELL OUR ADVERTISERS YOU FOUND THEM IN THE EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN! Break the Cycle Before Rescue. Before Surrender. Before Suffering. No hoof no horse is true, but unhappy bel- lies create suffering long before we see it in hooves, failing health, or bad behavior – the impact from which goes long into the future. Feed insecurity is often the first warning sign of a deeper crisis. Left unaddressed, it can spi- ral into declining condition, surrender, rescue intervention, or worse. No Horse Hungry exists to intervene earlier—to break that cycle. Launched by East Coast Equestrian, in partnership with the horse com- munity, No Horse Hungry helps keep horses fed when owners face finan- cial hardship—without shame, judgment, or unnecessary red tape. By helping earlier, we can prevent deeper crisis and keep horses healthy and stable with the people who love them. The need is real—and growing. We are in the early stages of building this network.
