On Thursday, November 2nd 2007, nineteen foals slated for slaughter joined the ranks of 50 horses and 80+
other animals at Ray of Light Farm. Hailing from Canada by way of Pennsylvania, they are among
thousands of unwanted Premarin foals across the country. We expected to bring in 10 foals – the number
grew to 19 just last week! Ray of Light partnered with Equine Angels Rescue Sanctuary (EARS), a Premarin
foal rescue and adoption facility in New Milford, CT, for this rescue and are grateful for the opportunity.
Media coverage of the foals by Fox61, WTNH and The Hartford Courant and East Haddam’s Fishwrapper is
bound to help us with awareness, adoption & placement but we are in dire need of supplies. Shagbark Lumber of East Haddam, CT donated a generous amount of hay, grain and shavings for which we are extremely grateful. We implore you to help us too – as we care for these foals and prepare them for adoption into loving homes. Their needs are many, but basic needs are hay, grain, blankets, halters and of course, financial contributions – the cost of transportation (from PA to CT) is more than $1,000 per foal. Join Us… Also, we welcome you to “Foal Around With Us” and meet the foals at our Open House & Foal Preview on December 8th at 2:30 p.m. There’s nothing like seeing these beautiful equines first-hand. Later that day, we’ll hold our Winter Wonderland celebration from 4:30-7:30 p.m. with horse-drawn carriage rides, carolers, hot chocolate and much more. About At left, are some of the foals. More pictures to follow. |
