BEERS (BVI Equine Educational Rehabilitation Sanctuary)
Set up as an BVI NPO in 2020. BEERS is a volunteer run charity. Poised to respond to any horse, pony or donkey in need where Countryside Adventures at Diamond Estate Farm cannot cope alone.
Up until now BEERS has not been called upon to step up. However, last month a concerned owner passed on the responsibility of a 10 year old ‘off
the track thoroughbred’ to us and we are about to unleash the mission statement of BEERS
and hope you will be inspired to help…
How We help
The racing career of a Thoroughbred is over before they are into double digits. The average horse lives until it is 30 years plus. This leaves over two thirds of a life left to live. Aftercare organisations all over the world continue to strive to retire, rehome and retrain horses that have given their all on the racetrack. Sadly, in the VI the instances of horses being retired and moved back to the US are few and far between. BEERS hopes to help change this.
Moonlight Bandit
Born in Kentucky, Bandit raced stateside as a youngster, on some of their most famous tracks. Unfortunately for him, he ended up here on Tortola.
He is still fit enough to go home. One of the lucky few. Home to flat, green, open fields, where his hooves wont crack and abscess and perishing from laminitis is far less of a probability.
BEERS is actively raising funds now for ‘Bandit’. He deserves to be given the chance to move on to his next great adventure!
Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare in Puerto Rico are standing by to receive him and to continue to rehab him as they look for funding to fly him the remainder of the way to his new chance in life.
We need to send Bandit to CTA as soon as possible. We are hoping to raise $5,000 quickly. To cover his journey to CTA and beyond.
You can help by booking a ticket on a special day afloat on the BVI's good time catamaran Rebel Yell.
Join us for A stress-free day on the water inclusive of beverages and snacks with your money going directly to Bandit's fund. See Bandit's Boat Days for below for itineraries and dates. Tickets are available for purchase online.
If you prefer, you can simply donate by credit card to Countryside Adventures requesting that Bandit is the recipient. Or you can donate directly to Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare who will take over his quarantine and care and onward flight to the US and a real opportunity to thrive in retirement.
