A couple of different fundraisers have recently been put in place to help fund the legal battle they currently facing of the vague and capricious language in the USDA's proposed changes in the Horse Protection Act. With that said, they are thrilled to announce that the Legal Defense Fund has a gracious anonymous donor that is willing to match the T-shirt campaign funds raised through the deadline of November 13th, 2016, which is immediately following the American Royal.
