North Branford Town Council OKs $5K ARPA Grant For Horse Rescue Group

NORTH BRANFORD, CT — The Town Council has awarded All the King’s Horses Equine Rescue, Inc. of Northford $5,000 from a special fund they set aside from American Rescue Plan Act. Those ARPA funds support nonprofit organizations that work within North Branford and have suffered impacts relative to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Council has set aside a $50,000 pool for impacted nonprofits to apply for, with this being the first award by the Council from that fund.

All the Kings Horses Equine Rescue, founded in 2010, is as an animal welfare organization for the purpose of rehabilitating, rescuing and placing equines in need. They assist horses in situations of neglect, abuse or threat of slaughter, and work to educate the public on the standards of care required to maintain an equine as a riding partner or companion animal humanely.

The funds from the Town’s ARPA allotment will be used to offset costs of a truck delivery of hay to feed the horses under their care.
