🌪️ Supporting Our Fellow Equestrians in Jamaica After Hurricane Melissa 🇯🇲

Hurricane Melissa has left a devastating impact on the horse industry across Jamaica — grooms’ homes have been destroyed, roads have collapsed, and many vehicles have been lost, leaving countless people unable to reach the barns to care for their horses. Stables have been damaged, and equestrian families are struggling to recover.

As a US Equestrian Community Outreach Program, IEA - Interscholastic Equestrian Association Member, Athletic Equestrian Member, and Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association Affiliate, our roots run deep in education, equestrian sports, and philanthropy. We stand united with our fellow equestrians in Jamaica during this difficult time.

While communication remains limited due to widespread phone and internet outages in Jamaica, the Caribbean Equine Relief Fund is actively working with local officials and equine organizations to assess needs and provide aid.

If you’re looking for a way to help, please consider making a donation to support recovery efforts: https://www.caribbeanequinerelief.org/

Together, we can help rebuild the heart of Jamaica’s equestrian community. 💚🐴

After a major hurricane, the Caribbean Equine Relief Fund is there to assist owners of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules with feed & supplies so they can focus on their own recovery and not worry about their animals. We also promote equine disaster preparedness and equine wellbeing in the region.

We were so honored to welcome the amazing group from the Wounded Warrior Project to Metropolitan Equestrian!

They toured the redesigned agricultural space, brought to life with support from The Home Depot Foundation and All Island Fence & Railing — and spent the day connecting through equine therapy, reflection, and honoring our members of service.

A truly meaningful day of equine therapy, gratitude, and community. ❤️🐴
