Another Chance 4 Horses, Inc. has been featured on Inside Edition, HBO, The Thoroughbred Times, The New York Times, The Blood horse magazine, Paulick Report, our local media the Reading Eagle, Channel 69 and much more.  Please see AC4H Media link for additional information.

 Our extensive work with slaughter bound horses has been used as examples and testimony to educate Senators, Congress, 4 H groups, schools and the general public.  American's Against Horse Slaughter chose My Little Bean  as Spokes horse, from The race track to the slaughter pen - "Stable to Table" to  educate in Washington DC... My Little Bean Flyer for DC http://www.udel.edu/alex/pdf/beanie.pdf   Our very public rescue of "Little Cliff"  assisted in creating awareness about Thoroughbred horses going directly to slaughter from the race tracks.  Zero tolerance policies started to be implemented at some of the tracks due to public outrage and demand for change.  

Our work with the neglected Paragallo horses, the first victims made public through our website, led to their herdmates (around 170 horses) being assisted. Paragallo has been a fixture in New York racing, starting 4,686 runners and earning $20.6 million in purses. He owns half of Unbridled’s Song, who is one of the most successful sires in thoroughbred racing and commands a $125,000 stud fee. The New York Racing Association revoked his credentials in April.  The New York State Racing and Wagering Board forced Paragallo to surrender his agent’s license shortly after he was arraigned on the charges in April. His daughters Kristen and Jennifer gave up their owners’ licenses. There is no place in thoroughbred or harness track racing in New York for anyone involved in the callous neglect or mistreatment of horses,” said John D. Sabini, the Racing and Wagering Board chairman.

Changes for Race horses have been made subsequently.  Alex Waldrop President and CEO of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association stated the alleged adbication of responsiblity for the welfare of  one's horses either directly or indirectly is unaccpetable and that if charges should  prove true, authorities should move swiftly to impose the most severe penalites applicable under the circumstances.

In the wake of allegations of horse abuse on Ernie Paragallo's Center Brooke Farm, The New York State Racing and Wagering Board has made plans to tighten its ownership read more here!

Just a little advice - quarantine a new horse regardless of where the horse came from for a minimum of 2 weeks as a precaution.  In spring and fall the grass changes levels of sugar - keep a close eye on your horse and their feet, digestive system during this time.  Don't forget to worm for bots after frost - and after proper de-worming schedule.  If you worm a horse with a strong  wormer without a proper de-worming cycle you can bind, colic and kill your horse.

 A horse that is slaughtered immediately ceases to contribute to the economy. A horse that lives adds constantly to the economy. He requires food, a veterinarian, a farrier, a dentist, and people to care for him. The ripple effect of that living horse across the economy is huge. Hay and grain will be grown and bought for him; he will require medication and vaccinations; he will require a place to live, like a boarding stable. Money for the economy.

So.... What is going on?  State regulations shut down the US Slaughter plants.  However, the horses have always been exported to Canada and Mexico for slaughter for human consumption and they are looking to open slaughter houses in the USA AGAIN!  State by state.....

 New Regulations by EU - requiring 6 month Quarantine on Slaughter horses starting 2010!  What will happen?  Horses now are not quarantined before going to slaughter.  Hence the statement "stable to table in 7 days".  The way things are right now it won't be possible to do so - I fully expect the EU to find a way around it.

The EU recently announced that they will simply have the kill buyer sign a form saying that the horses haven't received meds!  WHAT???
