Happy endings for the few

Some worn-out New York City carriage horses are fortunate enough to be rescued from the auctions in New Holland, Pa. After much physical and emotional rehabilitation, Lilly O'Reilly was one of these "happy ending" horses. Lilly has since passed away, but she was well cared-for since her rescue and adoption, and loved by many.

A Mouse, a Horse, a Great Idea!

Support the historic effort to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City. Great-looking merchandise is available from Cafe Press, and your purchase helps the horses by supporting the work of the Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages.

The tote bags, mugs, T-shirts, and other items speak volumes without saying a word. The mouse pad is a must-have. It features Teddy, a handsome former carriage horse who was destined for slaughter auction before he was rescued and found a home at the Central New England Equine Rescue (CNEER). In the snowy mousepad photo, Teddy is all smiles.
