The state Department of Agriculture has received a grant of slightly more than $50,000 from The John T. and Jane A. Wiederhold Foundation to make improvements
to its Niantic facility where horses and other large animals seized in
neglect cases are rehabilitated for public adoption, according to a release..
"The
$51,600 grant will be used to build new paddock and pasture fences and
purchase equipment such as stall mats, horse blankets, a hot water
heater and veterinary items used in the Second Chance program," the release said..
"Located
at York Correctional Facility in Niantic, the Second Chance program
is a collaboration" between the departments of Agriculture and
Correction, the release said. " Inmates from York volunteer to work with the animals in
partnership with agency personnel."
“For
11 years this program has proven to be beneficial for both the animals
and the inmates,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steven K.
Reviczky, also in the statement. “The support of the Wiederhold Foundation is very much
appreciated and will help us continue to give the animals the care they
deserve.”
Those interested in adopting an animal through the Second Chance program should contact Animal Control Officer Linda Wenner at 860-713-2567 or Linda.Wenner@ct.gov. Potential adopters are screened and are required to sign a contract that the animal will be cared for properly.

I just purchased the ultimate blanket for my paint gelding “Skittles” I’ve owned him for 1 year and have had 3 blankets for him. I’m not impressed with the looks of the blanket, but if it holds up to his shredding behavior it will be a wonderful surprise. I think Smartpak is going to lose some money on him. Time will tell, today is day one. The last horse blankets was broken in 2 weeks, he doesn’t mess around he breaks the hardware.
Horse blankets are an investment that can be safeguarded with proper cleaning and servicing. Horse blankets
