Motorcycles Ride to Save Horses

CUMMING, Georgia (March 20, 2017) - Buffalo’s Cafe at 1175 Buford Highway in Cumming, GA is the starting and ending location for the First Annual Motorcycle Ride for “Save the Horses,” a one and a half-hour ride to benefit Save the Horses Rescue on June 17, 2017 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The ride’s mission is to raise funds to cover operational and training expenses for a life-saving Large Animal Rescue Vehicle that will enable Save The Horses, a Cumming based non-profit rescue, to save even more horses and other large animals. Proceeds from this event will aide in getting their large animal rescue vehicle road worthy. The vehicle will be used to save the lives of horses and other animals, by transporting them to where they can get medical attention and/or to a safe environment. Funds raised will also enable the certification of a Save the Horses volunteer rescue team to operate the vehicle and provide rescue services.

“The vehicle will be used not only to rescue our incoming horses, but also help local horse owners that have issues with a sick horse, or horses that have fallen into ditches, pools or ones that we can pull safely out of trailer accidents. Owners can call us and we can help.” Says Cheryl Flanagan, Founder of Save the Horses.

All Types of Motorcycles & Riders Are Welcome

The June 17 charity ride begins with registration beginning at 9:00 a.m. A pre-ride safety briefing starts at 9:40am and kickstands go up at 10:00 a.m. The event features food and beverage at Buffalo’s Cafe (a percentage of meal proceeds will be donated to the Rescue), a 50/50 raffle, silent auction and door prizes. Plus riders and attendees will get to meet and greet some rescued dwarf horses. Jon Oswald will provide live musical entertainment.
