Remember the CI5 “Central Islip 5″? Five abused and starved horses were seized by the Suffolk County SPCA in the fall of 2008 from deplorable conditions in Central Islip. Through the efforts of Wayne Dougal of Indian Head Ranch in Huntington, as well as a host of wonderful, caring volunteers, they have been rehabilitated back to healthy, vital horses. Advertising their readiness for adoption was graciously donated by www.liequine.com , East End Livestock and Horseman’s Association, Nassau Suffolk Horseman’s Association, and The Old Field Farm
Many potential adoptive families have come forth to take these horses to more secure, loving homes. Now, four of the five horses will be going to adoptive homes this week!
Belle will be going to Smithtown as a third horse for a family that enjoys trail riding at Blydenburg Park.
Lady will be going to Middle Island to a mother and stepdaughter that would like to do more riding together.
Everett will be going to a young girl attending SUNY Cobleskill for Equine Management.
The Paint Pony was adopted previously by the veterinarian caring for him
Little Rain, the pony still needs a loving home. She is receiving lots of love and training at Indian Head Ranch. If you are interested in adopting her, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA at 631-382-7722, www.suffolkcountyspca.org or Wayne Dougal at 631-692-0965 (barn) or 631-766-3007 (cell)
