UPDTE NOVEMBER 2021:
Back for the first time since JUNE of 2020. Once again available for a limited time.
Proceeds from this t-shirt go to helping our friends at Horse Rescue Fund.
Horse Rescue Fund is dedicated to raising funds and distributing those funds to equine rescues and sanctuaries in Canada and the United States that are registered charities — or not.
Horse Rescue Fund also recognizes the need, especially during these turbulent times, to help individuals who are trying to do the right thing, but struggling to care for their equines.
There are many cases where what might end with a beloved horse being sent to slaughter, euthanized, sold or relinquished can be prevented by a gift of funds.
Horse Rescue Fund strives to raise awareness about the necessity of education on all aspects of equine ownership.
Through education Horse Rescue Fund believes that the number of horses being slaughtered for human consumption, and the number of other horses in need, will diminish.
Horse Rescue Fund also supports efforts to save (evacuate, vet, stable and feed) equines during and after natural disasters such as forest fires, flooding, mudslides, etc.
Look closely and you’ll notice that actress Kate Drummond is wearing a limited edition T-shirt. (Sorry it’s sold out BUT click the button below for another very special t-shirt.)
Proceeds from the sales of this T-shirt go towards banning the slaughter of horses within Canada and beyond.
Kate posts… “I’m just a girl, sitting in the middle of racks of couture, asking one of them to be the perfect dress 😉💕🙏 Thank you Jordan Stewart for the delicious afternoon of dress up, friendship-building and laughs. I am so excited to wear your masterpiece at the CSAs this month. 🔥 ”

IN THE aftermath of federal indictments that charged more than two dozen people in or associated with horse racing in “a widespread, corrupt” doping scheme, the industry rushed to put on a good face. The arrests, said the head of the Association of Racing Commissioners International, show that the system works, and that will have “a cleansing effect” on racing. “Let’s face it. It’s like any sport,” said one leading horse trainer. “We’re no different.”
Let’s be charitable and chalk up such comments to self-delusion, because anyone who thinks horse racing is like any other major sport is lying, ignorant or kidding themselves.
No other accepted sport exploits defenseless animals as gambling chips.
No other accepted sport tolerates the cruelties that routinely result in the injury and death of these magnificent animals.
The rot in horse racing goes deep. It is a sport that has outlived its time.

JANUARY 25, 2020 – By Editorial Board
THE DEATHS of nearly two dozen horses last year at Santa Anita Park in California caused the famed racetrack to close for three weeks as it tried to assess the situation.
It reopened with changes that included a new track drainage system, strict medication rules, enhanced training protocols and more veterinarians to oversee the horses.
Despite the changes, there were six deaths of horses racing or training during the fall meeting leading up to the renowned Breeders’ Cup races.
During the final race of that two-day event, a 4-year-old gelding broke its leg and had to be euthanized. Since the start of the new season in December, there have been five more deaths, including three in as many days over the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.
It’s good that public outcry has forced government and the industry to finally start paying attention to the treatment of these beautiful animals.
But the question is whether the proposed reforms go far enough.
We have our doubts and think animal rights activists make a powerful case that the fundamental problem is with horse racing itself.
“The killing is built into the system” is the blunt assessment of Patrick Battuello, founder and president of Horseracing Wrongs, who has spent the past five years tracking public data on racehorse deaths at the 100 racetracks in 35 states.
He has confirmed 1,000 deaths annually but says the actual number is much higher.

Okay, so you may be thinking to yourself, “But I don’t eat horse meat so what do I care if twice in the last 30 days, horse meat produced in Canada has been recalled due to being tainted with dangerous drugs, drugs that horses are routinely treated with that are not meant to enter the human food chain?”.
I hear you, and before I go any further you may want to keep in mind that in the summer of 2015, FOUR major news outlets in Canada reported that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) was NOT surprised that horse meat was ending up in Canadian supermarkets, but not marked as horse meat.
Oh and these types of recalls of drug tainted, toxic to humans horse meat have been going on for years.
AND
January 14th, 2020
Health Canada reports:
Viande Richelieu brand horse meat recalled due to presence of clenbuterol.
While some of the affected product may have been exported to other countries, this recall is for horse meat distributed in Quebec.
Clenbuterol is often used to treat horses with conditions such as Inflammatory Airway Disease and heaves. The administration of this drug is prohibited from use in animals that produce food or are intended for consumption as food.
This is yet another example of how the honor system when it comes to presenting horses to be slaughtered for human consumption is not working.
These kinds of recalls have been going on for years.

Canadian icon Jann Arden speaks out against the inhumane transport of horses to Japan for human consumption, and lends her voice to the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition.
Horses are also inhumanely shipped by air to Japan to be slaughtered for human consumption.
Thankfully the press and others are lending their voice as Jann Arden speaks out.
I’ll be in touch tomorrow to donate to this important cause. How cruel and unnecessary Horse slaughter is. Modern society was built on the back of the working horse- and this is how we repay them. Classy. https://t.co/7MpT62xUHT

Canada should be leading the world when it comes to animal welfare— and yet we drop the ball in so many ways. We ship thousands upon thousands of live horses for the overseas meat trade and grotesquely fail with their treatment. Often in tight cages of three or four- for days.
