Standlee Premium Western Forage Donates Product to COVID-19 Impacted Animals in Southern California

Standlee Premium Products, owner and manufacturer of the Standlee Premium Western Forage® brand, recently donated a truckload of Premium Alfalfa Cubes for horse and cattle owners in Southern California financially impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. The donation is being administered through ASPCA’s The Right Horse Initiative.

“These 1,100 bags of our high-quality Alfalfa Cubes will hopefully help ease some of the burden and stress on owners to care for their beloved animals,” said Dusty Standlee, CEO, and President of Standlee Premium Products. Mr. Standlee continued, “Animal owners and their families have enough on their plates during this unfortunate situation and we hope this helps ease some of their burdens.”

As part of its COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Initiative, the ASPCA established an equine feed distribution center in Los Angeles to help equine owners care for their horses and other animals during this crisis. The Right Horse Initiative, a program of the ASPCA, was alerted to the needs of Los Angeles-area equines by one of its adoption partners, which reported an increase in calls for help from horse owners.

As hay shortages are prevalent and much of the land in the Los Angeles area is dry and desert-like, local horse owners expressed concern over limited options for feeding their equines as they face economic hardship or other challenges as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Since April, over 3,500 bags of feed have been distributed, and nearly 1,300 horses in the Los Angeles area have been positively impacted.
