EQUUS Film Festival NYC Welcomes Hudson Valley Award-Winning
Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue, Inc. as Nonprofit Partner
New York, NY (October 15, 2015) In keeping with its commitment to its equine welfare community, the EQUUS Film Festival, November 20-21, at Village East Cinema (home of the Tribeca Film Festival) in New York City, and founder/organizer Lisa Diersen welcome Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue Inc. of Dover, NY as a Nonprofit Partner, providing organic Lucky Chocolates of Saugerties as sweet treats inside EQUUS Film Festival VIP Welcome bags.
Since LOHR (www.Luckyorphanshorserescue.org) opened its barn doors in 2008 they have saved many wonderful horses, rehabilitating them to sound health and rebuilding their trust in people while using their stories of overcoming adversity, building trust and teamwork to foster understanding and inspiration in children, young adults and communities.
In October, 15 year-old LOHR volunteer Alexa Ray Rudolph was named one of five EQUUS Foundation Champions of the Ariat International-sponsored program and received a pair of boots for her service and commitment to horses. “
Although Alexa has a busy schedule with school, soccer and track, she finds time to help clean paddocks, feed and groom,” said EQUUS Foundation president Lynn Coakley.
As home to the storytellers of the horse world, the EQUUS Film Festival, November 20-21 at the Village East Cinema is the first event of its kind dedicated to equestrian-themed film, fine art and authors, EQUUS MagazineDirectors Panels, a pop-up artist, filmmaker and literary gallery, Li’l Herc™ Kids Fest sponsored by Suzanne Kopp-Moskow with free Saturday family films and fun, Sunday tours of the Clinton Park Carriage Horses Stable, and a Manhattan Saddlery sponsored Thursday evening VIP Party and Sunday shopping hours.
