Emergency Sheltering
The Senator Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center offers sheltering for equine
during emergency situations. Our East Barn is the primary location
for housing
evacuated animals with the ability to house up to 60 horses.
Additional horses can
be
housed depending on necessity and the current show calendar.
Please remember that timing becomes critical in a disaster situation.
We would encourage you to make your plans to evacuate animals to our facility
as soon as practical in order to insure the safety of you and your horses.
Call Durward Taylor or Keith Whitaker at 252-792-5802 during our business hours
(7:30 AM – 4:30 PM) to assist you in scheduling your arrival at our facility.
Stalls are available for emergency situations at a reduced rate of $10.00 per stall, per day.
Owners are responsible for the following:
- Providing proof of a current Negative Coggins Test
- Primary care for his/her animals sheltered at the facility
(feed, hay, watering of animals and cleaning of stalls)
- Shavings (SBMEAC requires a minimum of 2 bags per stall.)
(These are available at SBMEAC for $5.90 per bag.)
- Removal of sheltered animals once the event has subsided.
