Sat, Jun 20, 2020Spirit’s Promise Equine Rescue is partnering with Neptune Feed & Saddlery and Long Island Equine Trail to help support the equine industry on Long Island by launching an island-wide initiative featuring a 30-minutes contactless Long Island Drive-Thru Animal Tour. The family friendly, educational and social distancing experience will begin on Saturday, June 20 2020 with Spirit’s Promise Rescue and North Shore Horse Rescue.
Every business has been impacted by COVID-19, within the equine industry this holds especially true for the equine rescues who operated on limited recourses prior to the pandemic. The ticketed drive-thru tour will provide these rescues with financial support to provide critical care to their animals that offer services ranging from equine therapy, recreation and jobs throughout the region. The young and the young at heart alike will have the opportunity to reconnect with nature and the farms four legged residents from the safety of their car. Families will enjoy fresh air while being educated about the animals history and will have access to a digital map on their smartphone which will showcase photos and fun facts about each animal. Online reservations are required, a face mask must be worn at all times and time slots are limited.
Spirit’s Promise Rescue will be one of the first locations providing this drive through experience on Saturday, June 20, 2020. Tickets will go on sale on Sunday, June 7 beginning at 7 p.m. and can be purchased by visiting https://bit.ly/2AztlNC.
“We’ve had to pivot our barn operations to be able to offer our services while keeping everyone safe. We are committed to continue to work together to bring the equine community to every household,” said Marisa Striano, Founder of Spirit's Promise Equine Rescue. Inspired by Spirit's Promise Equine Rescues Hay For Horses Mobile Food Pantry hosted at Tanger Outlets Riverhead during Giving Tuesday on May 5, the Neptune Feed & Saddlery collaboration will support increasing the frequency of the horse mobile food pantry throughout all of Long Island for equine organizations going through economic challenges to receive free food for their animals.
