Transcend Go Beyond Limits this Holiday Season










                    Transcend  Go Beyond Limits this Holiday Season



                 Meet Jet who transcended animal abuse to become a “Healer” helping our veterans

Heart2Heart Equine Assisted Therapy Program
2017 Annual Appeal
North Shore Horse Rescue and Sanctuary
 

The end of 2017 is an important time for our rescue’s growth and history.  Fifteen years of focus and determination have led us to this year’s exciting news and invitation.  We are purchasing a farm in Calverton securing a forever home for the rescues, sanctuary horses, boarders, dogs, cats and chickens.  This reward for our cause is literally 1.9 miles from our present location.

This year’s “ASK” invites you to become a yearly member of our rescue by signing onto our membership program supporting permanency.  Your dollars will support such projects as farm relocation, barn building, building run-in sheds, fencing for paddocks, creation of communal stations such as the “Garden of Emotions”, “Pool of Reflections”, “The Cornerstone of Horse Sense” and “Canter Way – the path of Giving”. 

We are developing a Membership based organization where as members we “Give back”. By appointment you and your family share private time together with our animals, in a retreat like setting providing another wonderful place to explore on the North Fork. 

 Spring of 2018 we look forward to welcoming members to our permanent home built by the support of our community of friends and donors.  Each membership buys you a mini vacation spot each time you step into the world of the horse.

We're On The Move!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 11/7/17 
 
The World of Horse Rescue
North Shore Horse Rescue and Sanctuary
www.northshorehorserescue.org
 
Baiting Hollow, NY: The Pioneers for Permanency
 
It all started 15 years ago with a stroke of a pen and a signature marking the humble beginnings of a horse farm destined to enter the world of horse rescue.
 
Not much is known about the particular history of horse rescues, but its safe to say that horses have forged their way into a bond with humans since the beginning of time.  Thanks to Henry Bergh in 1866 who publicly reprimanded a cart driver for whipping his horse the modern-day American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), set the groundwork to expose the plight of animals.  Today, with the help of advocates and not for profit organizations, awareness has been raised about animal cruelty. 
 
Over 40 horses have graced the paddocks of North Shore Horse Rescue and Sanctuary over eight years.  The owners Laurel Palermo and Thomas Renzetti celebrate their efforts to rescue rehabilitate and find suitable forever homes for the horses in their care.  As horses derive their very essence from inclusion in a herd, this small rescue honored them by creating a communal environment in which to heal from the loss of their homes, fellow horses and horse families.  This operation took place on land leased to North Shore Horse Rescue.  This situation carried with it rent increases and many restrictions on raising money.
 
As the story evolved from humble beginnings the organization is now at the point in its history to be strong enough to provide for its sanctuary herd and those horses waiting to be helped, a permanent home deep in the heart of Riverhead.  Over a substantial span of time a small band of pioneers led the effort to find a forever home for this operation, which now includes a rehabilitative arm for humans.  It is believed by many native tribes that all animals are great teachers. 
 
The Board of Directors extends special thanks and recognition to the official band of “Pioneers for Permanency” for their tireless efforts and generosity in making our search a reality.  This groups’ ability to communicate with each other was one of the most valuable skills we learned from this process.  More importantly, in our daily work with horses we all developed through their role modeling the importance of the relationship we created. 
“The Pioneers”:
Louise Abitibol
Pete Casano
Dr. Lori Escallier
John and Tess McKellen
Frank J. Ruiz Sr.

The Pioneers will be forever memorialized in a carving to be installed in the new barn of our new home.

What's happening?

Hi again

I am so bad about keeping up with this blog. My apologies and I hope that I didn't lose any followers because of it.

I am at work on my lunch hour and figured that I would write a short post to prove that I am still alive and well. 😆

Sir is doing well thanks to the excellent care that he receives from Laurel. If it weren't for her I would hate to think of what might have happened. Thanks Laurel Palermo! ❤

We held a few fund raisers since my last post. The Labor Day yard sale, Comedy Night, and an impromptu  Columbus Day weekend yard sale went well. We raised some money to help the rescued horses.
We also received a grant from the Alex and Elisabeth Lewyt Charitable Trust. We received over $5,000.00.  A very big NSHRS thank you to that organization. This grant will go a long way in helping the rescued horses! 

In the very near future we will hold a meeting of the Fund Raising Committee to come up with our 2018 calendar of Fund Raising Events. These will be posted on our website as well as our Facebook page.

We are currently selling raffle tickets to raise funds for the rescue as well. 

1st Prize is a pair Jetblue round trip tickets to anywhere that Jetblue flies. 
2nd Prize is an Apple Watch
3rd Prize is $150.00 cash

Donation is $10.00 per ticket or 6 for $50.00 
Drawing will be held December 2,2017
You need not be present at the drawing to win.

We cannot sell tickets online so if you are interested come by the farm or email me skibbo14@aol.com. 
Great prizes for a great cause!

There is also a Paint Night fund raiser coming up on November 9th. Details are posted on Facebook. If you can't find it reach out to me and I will assist you.

Keep your eyes and ears open for a Mega Announcement coming soon!

Until next time I remain!
