| Rescue adopters.
All board members are avid animal supporters and devote
a tremendous amount our of time to helping the rescued horses.
That help comes in many different forms: veterinary work,
fundraising, public awareness, etc.
The primary New York Horse Rescue facility
is located in Manorville, Long Island, New York, on a 50-acre
farm owned by Mona Kanciper and Dr. Butler. The Manorville
farm houses between 15-20 NYHR horses at any given time.
A newly opened facility at nearby Hart’s Cove, East Moriches,
is home to an additional eight head. Both facilities usually
operate at full capacity.
Every year, New York Horse Rescue helps
between 50-100 Thoroughbreds, 100+ PMU foals/horses, and
approximately 25 non-Thoroughbreds (Quarter Horses, Appaloosas,
Arabs, Standardbreds, etc.) Our adopters are wonderful people
who open their homes and hearts to these horses.
New York Horse Rescue relies on donations
from the public in order to feed and maintain our horses
and save more horses from slaughter. We hope that visitors
to our site understand the importance of contributions (which
are tax-deductible!). Even small donations help by paying
for wormers, hay, farrier work, medicines, and even carrots!
Please visit our contribution page and help us with these
wonderful and majestic creatures.
New York Horse Rescue has consistently
endeavored to educate the public about alternatives to Premarin
as an estrogen replacement while saving the lives of PMU
(Pregnant Mare’s Urine) foals – the unwanted by-products
of the industry, for whom there are simply not enough homes.
As of 2004, Ayerst, has cut nearly 75%
of ranchers in the PMU program, but although the demise
of the industry is much to be desired, the short-term result
will be a glut of Premarin foals falling prey to slaughterhouse
buyers. Please help us in the huge effort we anticipate
making on behalf of these innocent foals. |
