Join Patti Sanborn, Kim Mastrianni & Sharon Morelli for a 2 day Clicker Training Workshop on July 12th and 19th. Clinic days begin at 9 am. (Lunch included for a donation) and go to 5 pm.

These workshops are both for brand new trainers and for those who would like to learn how to teach new skills to their clicker savvy horse. With three teachers we are able to offer the unique opportunity to see different levels coached and improve in their communication skills at one clinic. We will start where you and your horses are and teach the basic principles and techniques of clicker training following Alexandra Kurland's method of teaching.

Click Here to learn more and about the workshop and how to register for the workshop.

We want your rescue stories and pictures of the animals that you adopted from Live and Let Live Farm. If your story is of a PMU adoption please send it to us and to www.savingtheinnocents.com as it will be posted on that website for people to see how wonderful these PMU horses can become, and why they should be given a chance other than slaughter. We all may experience some challenges, but very rewarding baby steps.

Please send your stories to: Live and Let Live Farm Teresa Paradise, Executive Director 20 Paradise Lane, Chichester, NH 03258 Email: info@liveandletlivefarm.org

This beautiful, young 10 month old kitten is Tripod, renamed Lucy by her adoptive parents.

Tripod "Lucy" is one of the animals Live and Let Live Farm rescued from Kentucky to save her life. Tripod needed costly surgery to have her leg removed in order to save her life shortly before being transported to N.H.. Our great and caring volunteer Kate, Lisa out of Kentucky along with Teresa, Janice, Jill and Melissa
all worked together to spread the word and bring Tripod and 17 other dogs, kittens and puppies safely home here to New Hampshire and into great adoptive homes.

Volunteers of Live and Let Live Farm Rescue of Chichester New Hampshire have come together, burrowed the funds and brought the baby horses, foals ("Premarin Foals") safely home to New Hampshire.

These baby horses and many others are the by products of the drug manufacturing industry. These drugs are being made for the relief of menopausal discomfort which is extracted from pregnant mares urine "PMU" (e.g. Premarin, Prempro).

At the peak of the Premarin drug manufacturing, up to 70,000 pregnant mares were on the line for the production of the hormone drugs until 2004/2005. When it was discovered that these hormone drugs extracted from the urine of pregnant mare horses were found to be physically harmful to woman, which increased the chance of breast cancer, blood clots, and many more harmful side effects. This caused a huge cut back by Wyeth in the use of Premarin, Prempro and other PMU based hormone drugs, cutting contracts with ranches in response to decreased demand.

Over 7,000 pregnant mares remain on the PMU lines with baby horses needing homes. Many more closed ranches with closed PMU contracts which are also sending their PMU foals to auctions are in need of homes.

To find out more about the Premarin Industry please click on the Horse section and go to the story written by Heather Evans, which has been published in The Natural Horse magazine.

Live and Let Live Farm Rescue volunteers have many baby horses "foals" available for adoption and they need your help.

Please donate to help feed and care for these baby horses "foals", by sending a tax deductible donation to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue, 20 Paradise Lane, Chichester NH 03258, or go to the website www.liveandletlivefarm.org and you can donate on line through Star Donor or Pay Pal with a credit card.

Forward this information to everyone on your email list and ask them to continue to spread the word of the Live and Let Live Farm's volunteers, baby foals and other needy animals to help them find loving homes.

Purchase Live and Let Live Farm Rescue Calendars (our own rescue animal calendar photos), Sweat shirts and other fund-raising items as Christmas and other great gifts which serve a double purpose as all proceeds go to helping rescue, needy animals.

The Natural Horse Magazine - Founder and Executive Director Teresa Paradis has written an article which is in the July/August issue with great rehabilitation pictures of horses Colby, Missy and Classy Girl.

Live and Let Live Farm has had some great success using the Sumerel Therapy System (STS2) on some of its animal friends.

The Sumerel Therapy System is a two part system which first locates a physical problem then, with light therapy, helps correct those problems. The technology used in this approach has been used in both the human and animal care industry for years with impressive results. Click Here to read more.

Once the indoor rehabilitation center is up and complete, when we approach spring, there will be 2 monthly beginner and troubleshooting clicker clinics. Also private session times with Patty Sanborn will be available.......more information on this will also be available with printable brochures.

Live and Let Live Farm welcomes back Alex Kurland and her training clinics.

A pioneer in humane training methods, Ms. Kurland began clicker training in the early 1990s. She very quickly recognized the power of clicker training for improving performance, for enhancing the relationship people have with their horses, and for just plain putting fun back into training. Today, through her books, videos, clinics, and many articles, she has become a leading voice in the development of clicker training in the horse community

There will be 2- 3 day riding clinics - August 2nd (Saturday) through August 4th (Monday) and September 27th (Saturday) through September 29th (Monday)

Pricing for the three day clinic is: participant with horse $245, auditors $160 or $60/day

Plan to attend both clinics and save: two clinic discount with horse $400, two clinic auditor $250

The clinic went well. Dan was suprised that 100% of the attendees of this class do not put shoes on their horses and most do not use bits.

Do you have 4 hours on a weekend to help man our awareness booth? Please contact Teresa at the rescue 603-798-5615. We are hoping to organize the awareness booth in different places and in different areas of New Hampshire 2 days per month. We would also like to get into the county fairs with our awareness booths of Live and Let Live Farm Rescue.

Do you know someone that organizes the fairs or an organization that would share their space with us at the fairs? Please help us get into the county fairs or other events.

Do you know a place we may gain awareness of our rescue and what we do and the animals we can help?

Please call Teresa and let her know.

Thanking you in advance,
Teresa Paradis and all the animals of Live and Let Live Farm Rescue

Hemp for Horses - The safe, effective and natural alternative for horses and pets. Hemp for Horses has generously donated hemp for the care and well being of starved or needy horses and other animals that have come to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue.

A very special "Thank you" from Colby and Missy who came in starved, "emaciated" and needed the great benefits of hemp to help save their lives.

A Note From Teresa
Just wanted to make sure everyone knows: helping to stop the use of Premarin is helping to stop Breast Cancer.

Premarin is not a cure, it is a known cause for Breast Cancer. Let's stop Breast Cancer before it starts.......Please get your relatives and friends who are marching for a cure for Breast Cancer know that they are also marching against Premarin, a cause of Breast Cancer.

Please ask them to support us against the manufacturing of Premarin by carrying a sign when they march. Some suggestions for a sign:
"Premarin Is Not The Cure"
"Stop Premarin and beat a cause of Breast Cancer"
"Fight Premarin, defeat the cure that is the cause"
"Premarin not the cure, but a cause of Breast Cancer"
"How many woman and horses must die for Premarin??"

Thanks to your support, Live and Let Live Farm was able to rescue four truckloads and adopt out 104 Premarin mares, pregnant mares and foals that were slated to go to slaughter in 2004/2005. See the Horses page for their story and photos of their arrival.

Also help Heather Evans in her effort to save PMU mares, foals and stallions from slaughter. Visit her website, "Saving the Innocents" for more information and to read her letters from June and July.

We are still trying to figure things out on how to fight Wyeths decision, raise funds and also we are still hoping to save some PMUs in the near future.

Please come on a tour/visit on Sundays at 2:30pm to see available horses/animals. Directions are listed on our contact page.

SLAUGHTER-BOUND HORSES IN IMMEDIATE NEED OF HELP!!!
Sara Gruen is a supporter of Live and Let Live Farm and author of the novels Riding Lessons and Flying Changes. She says, "I was horrified to discover that the foals that are quite literally byproducts of this Premarin industry go to auction, and from there, almost always to slaughter."

Sara is working hard to get the word out to help save PMU mares, foals and stallions. She has written a press release on behalf of Live and Let Live Farm. Please view it in the Archive section of the News Letters & Articles web page. Feel free to pass it on to your local paper or use it to make posters.
