PLUMSTED — Rerun, the thoroughbred adoption program with chapters in New Jersey, New York, Kentucky, and North Carolina, and satellite farms in Pennsylvania, has announced that it has leased a 40-acre farm here.
The farm, ReRun at Reindancer on Archertown Road, will house thoroughbred ex-racehorses looking for adoptive homes and will serve as a publicly accessible resource for its community and supporters.
Jane Gilbert, ReRun board member says, “We have so many plans for our new facility; educational classes, off-the-track thoroughbred riding and retraining clinics, equine-based psychotherapy, youth outreach activities. We can’t wait to get started.”
Rerun’s new property is part of the historic Dancer Farm. Named after Vernon and Stanley Dancer, Harness Racing Hall of Fame brothers, the farm is home to Reindancer Therapeutic Riding Center, which is partnering with ReRun to achieve “mutually beneficial goals,” according to a press release.
”In this economy, we, as nonprofits, have to think outside the box and work with others in ways that complement each other and are cost-effective,” said ReRun President Laurie Lane, “I can’t think of a better partner than Pam Clyne.”
Pam Clyne, founder and director of Reindancer, believes the two organizations are a perfect match.
”It just makes sense to bring together thoroughbred rescue and equine-based therapy,” she said in a press release. “ReRun has horses who can no longer be ridden and have few prospects for adoption, but they can have successful careers helping humans in very meaningful ways.”
ReRun at Reindancer will be holding an open house May 23. For more information, log on to www.rerun.org.
