We have a section of the SAFE website that has been set aside for Educational purposes. Part of our mission at SAFE, besides helping horses and horsepeople, is to try to provide education to horse owners, potential horse owners, and folks who really shouldn't be horse owners. At this point, however, we have a big empty section of the website that isn't teaching anybody anything.
So here is how you can help:
- write something and submit it for use on the website
- write or outline something that I can rewrite for the website
- suggest a topic that you think we should cover
Some of the types of articles we are looking for:
- an article that paints a stark and realistic picture of all the things that go into first time horse ownership...a lot of horses end up in trouble because someone thought horsekeeping was easy...and most of us know that it is FAR from easy...maybe we can prevent this from happening, even a little bit
- an article about Animal Control and what you can do if you see a horse that is being neglected or abused
- articles about different horse care issues, like feeding, safe shelters & fencing, routine and emergency vet care, farrier care, how to locate a horse professional, training, the list goes on and on
- an article about euthanasia and other options for the end of a horse's life, including what to do about removing the body
A couple of ground rules:
First, we have a standard of professionalism to uphold with our website, so if you submit something, you must grant me the right to edit and rewrite as I see fit. The plus side is that if you have something to share but you're not a terribly skilled writer, you can still be an enormous help by providing something that I can polish up, and you'll still get the credit for it! (Homework assignments not included.)
Second, if you find an article somewhere on the web that you'd like us to publish, you must obtain written permission for us to display it on our website. I am guessing that since we are a non-profit group that this won't be difficult, but I've never tried to do it so I really don't know. The bottom line is that we don't want to plagerize anyone else's work.
Post here if you have something you want to submit or talk about. Thanks in advance for your help!
