An equine veterinarian in private practice since 1984, Dr. Phillip Kapraun primarily treats lameness in performance horses. In addition to his everyday work with horses, Dr. Phillip Kapraun is a member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP).
Between hundreds of acres of scorched land and the loss of homes, the cost of the 2017 California wildfires has been extremely high. What can sometimes get lost in the shuffle, however, are the urgent equine community needs that can arise in the wake of such a disaster. That is why the AAEP’s charitable arm has an Equine Disaster Relief Fund.
The fund is seeking to help horses that the wildfires in California have adversely impacted. The money from the fund will go to organizations and programs involved in recovery efforts as well as rebuilding efforts and to those working on dealing with future disaster situations.
