Equine Tribute and Memorial Fund

Horses have special places in our lives, and we feel their losses deeply. The Equine Tribute and Memorial Fund provides a unique and thoughtful way to show support for a friend or family member grieving the loss of a special horse. It can also be a distinctive way to pay tribute to an individual equestrian, group,  or program. Contributions can be made in any amount.

Memorial donations support cutting-edge equine research and valuable advances in equine veterinary care. A personalized letter is sent to the friend or family member acknowledging the contribution (the amount is not disclosed) in honor of their horse.

For veterinarians and veterinary clinics, the Equine Tribute and Memorial Fund is a meaningful way to pay tribute to special patients and support clients during difficult times. Clients receive personalized letters acknowledging contributions in honor of their horses.

Donations are applied to research areas including:

  • Anesthetic and medication safety
  • Colic prevention and treatment
  • Genetics
  • Imaging
  • Infectious disease
  • Laminitis
  • Neonatology
  • Neurology
  • Orthopedics and lameness
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Reproduction
  • Welfare

Research supported by contributions to the Equine Tribute  and Memorial Fund support horses in California and beyond, today and into the future.

Donations in any amount can be made at https://give.ucdavis.edu/vceh/v407E31. Please direct questions about giving to the  UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Office of Advancement  at (530) 752-7024, svmadvancement@ucdavis.edu.
