CANTER New England Recognized at Equine Affaire Springfield
Boulder, CO, December 11, 2014 --(PR.com)-- CANTER New England was recognized by the organization A Home for Every Horse at the Equine Affaire’s legendary event. CANTER New England of Everett, Massachusetts is dedicated to the welfare of the racing Thoroughbred and assisting ex-racers in making the successful transition to life after the finish line.
Equine Affaire’s educational program forms the cornerstone of the event, held at the Eastern States Exposition in W. Springfield, Massachusetts, was the stage for the November 15th event to honor The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses.
As part of the recognition of the compassionate work done by the CANTER New England (http://www.canterusa.org/newengland); the sponsors of A Home for Every Horse presented the off the track thoroughbred rescue with some horse-care gifts to take back to the rescue. Including; a new WeatherBeeta blanket, coupons for Purina horse feed, twenty four tubes of Zoetis Strongid paste and a $50 Tractor Supply Gift Card.
Kim Rig, Executive Director of the equine rescue, said "A Home for Every Horse has been a huge help for us in off-setting the costs for the horses in our adoption program and giving us the ability to effectively advertise and market our horses at no charge.”
CANTER stands for The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses. CANTER started as a solution to help racehorses find new careers by connecting buyers and sellers through posting racehorses for sale on the Internet. The program quickly became a national web-based phenomenon. Since the first CANTER Michigan program started in 1997, it and has grown to include affiliates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Mid Atlantic, New England, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. All the CANTER programs are all-volunteer organizations with 501C3 nonprofit status.
The affiliates in Arizona, California, Kentucky, Michigan, Mid Atlantic, New England, Ohio, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, and Washington have also expanded their CANTER programs to include owner relinquished horse adoption programs, where CANTER assumes ownership of the horse and all associated expenses. Many of these CANTER Phase II programs have affiliations with veterinary colleges such as Michigan State University and Ohio State University, where horses receive necessary surgical procedures to return to soundness.
