KATHLEEN HOFFERTY, IPSWICH EQUINE RESCUE.

Welcome to Ipswich Equine Rescue

Here At I.E.R. we are dedicated to saving horses from neglect abuse and SLAUGHTER. Kathleen Hofferty founded I.E.R. in Ipswich Mass. in 1994 and has saved thousands of horses from an ugly demise in a slaughterhouse where they would have been shipped over seas for human consumption. Horses have been a companion to man since early in mans evolution, and here at I.E.R. we don't believe in eating our companions. Here we take in the unwanted horses that would otherwise go to the slaughterhouse and give them a second chance at life.

Ipswich Equine Rescue

I.E.R. provides refuge and sanctuary to former Thoroughbred race horses and Premarin Foals. We strive to help any equine in need. I.E.R. and U.P.F. were the first founders and leaders starting the P.M.U. mission.Through creating public awareness with media coverage we started to educate women on the atrocities and horrific demise of the P.M.U. Foals. Premarin  as the world now knows is a hormone replacement therapy drug derived from Pregnant Mares Urine. And it has been proven to cause Breast and Uterine Cancer in females mainly because the female body cannot break down the horse hormone Equilin.

Many new Premarin groups have since sprung up focusing on the important issue of saving the Canadian P.M.U. Foals and mares. Luckily in January 2004 Wyeth- Ayerst started cutting back on the production of PREMARIN due to numerous lawsuits. Many Premarin farms have been shut down and will hopefully remain closed forever. As a Nurse, my other concern is for the millions of women that are now suffering from CANCER due to taking PREMARIN. The animal based conjugated drug PREMARIN does indeed cause every womans worse fear, substantiated, proven and documented by leading reknowned medical doctors all over the world.

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN BY ME OF 'CRUZ' ONE WEEK BEFORE HE WAS HUMANELY EUTHANIZED. CREEPY? A PREMONITION OF WHAT WAS TO COME UNFORTUNATELY. CRUZ IS SADLY MISSED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN.CRUZ WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART. HE IS UNFORGETTABLE.I WAS BLESSED FOR THE JOY AND HAPPINESS WE SHARED TOGETHER AS BEST FRIENDS.
